S has fast growing hair. It would make any girl happy, but S is a boy and he likes very short cuts. H often has to go a few weeks between cuts and this bothers him. He doesn't like to look shaggy.
I decided enough was enough and suggested we buy hair clippers so that I could cut his hair at home and keep it short for him. I figured we could save money and that I couldn't possibly do a worse job than he normally gets. S, at first, did not like this idea. Handling sharp objects is not my forte and hair clippers have electricity thrown in for added fun danger. I persisted and finally S succomb. I think he was just plain tired of that mane.
We bought a Conair clipper set from Big Lots for $15. I figure, within two haircuts, the clippers will have paid for themselves.
Naturally, I started the job by reading online and looking for video tutorials. Armed with just enough knowledge to get myself in trouble, I tackled S's hair - faithfully assisted by D.
This is the result (now, don't laugh):
He likes his hair this way, so he's very happy now. That makes me happy.
His sister will no longer complain about his hair. That makes me really happy.
