On self trimming

Mummy was alarmed to hear that I've been chopping my own hair off again. But even though this is a budget-driven decision, I do maintain that its great entertainment and not nearly as difficult or perilous as it sounds. Why more women don't have a go baffles me. At least you don't have to attempt to explain what you're after to someone else, or endure the usual banal pleasantries. Just stand in front of the mirror over the sink, study your face and snip. Think of the techniques you've seen your hairdresser using when you've been in her chair. You can do the back by pulling the strands up over your head after marking the desired length with your fingers. But be warned: this is an addictive past-time! The trick, as with eyebrow tweezing, is knowing when to stop.
