When my husband gave me a haircut

What’s the craziest thing you did lately? Me – I let my husband give me a haircut.

I usually adore my hair, but often have mixed feelings when the weather gets hot and they become absolutely untameable. I hadn’t had a good haircut after pregnancy and they started getting into all the odd places. Doing yoga becomes not-so-peaceful when you have to keep pulling them out from armpits or struggle to find a proper spot to tie the bun while doing headstands.

So instead of doing it myself or letting someone professional do it, I turned to my husband. Why? Well, let’s just say the crazy pregnancy hormones are still in my bloodstream. 🙂

As you might remember that I do cut my hair at home by following Youtube tutorials – read How to cut your own hair at home. And also cut my husband’s hair – read Nakhrebaaz other half. But this time I was just too tired and sleep-deprived to do it myself. As you might have already read about bushfires and massive heatwaves in Australia. Maintaining long hair really becomes a chore. I can’t leave them open because of heat, plus the baby has already pulled out enough to break my heart. So it was time to snip off a few inches to make them manageable.

My husband is very much aware of my histrionics when it comes to a haircut. One minute I would be going mad over how sticky they feel, and others I would be sitting on bathroom floor bawling over the chopped pieces. So this time he made me promise him that I will not make him go through my nautanki.

I watched him snip here and there and tried hard not to look at the fallen comrades. He said he was giving me a U-cut or so. I am not really sure. But since I have long hair, I can get away with it. 😛 5 inches chopped away. I do feel the pinch, but this length is much more easy to maintain now. And I don’t have to keep them tied all the time. 🙂

Fortunately, my hair grows fast. Must be my genes or could be the regular oil-massaging I do. So in a few months’ time, I would be back trying to figure out who gets to cut my hair again. 🙂

I would say given his zero skills, he did a good job of not destroying my hair. 🙂

  1. My guy has been cutting my hair for me since we first met. I have him give me a trim every couple months to keep my ends neat and damaged/split ends under control. I think this is the best way rather than wait for my length to become too unmanageable and have him chop off a lot. I think every woman should have her guy cut her hair for her m but don’t wait and ask him to make a drastic change to your hair. Get practice with minimal trims with good hair shears and the proper tools.

  2. Well done to your Husband, he did a great job, who knows maybe he missed hi voacation in life? I have grat fun at the hairdressers, as the conversation is a mix of 3 languages, she is Portuguese, I am English and every so often we have to use a french word when we are stuck

  3. Looks great, Raj! Those YouTube tutorials are so good, aren’t they? I cut my own hair – not that I have much left, thanks to neglect and medication and what not, but I wouldn’t let anyone else touch it. I do cut my husband’s hair and think I’ve gotten decent at it. Well, you look just fabulous!

  4. WOW! You are a brave person to let your husband cut your hair. I wouldn’t let mine come near my hair with scissors lol. But I do have to say he did an amazing job! You have such beautiful and healthy looking hair.

Let’s keep the conversation flowing!
