Chop chop!

My hair grows really fast.

And I hate paying for haircuts, so I generally rely on my mother (who is quite experienced from cutting the hair of a family of 8 for many, many years). However, when I'm at college, my mother isn't around. So more than once, I have gotten a hair cut from one of my friends.

I'm not entirely sure, but I've always gotten these haircuts from girls. Maybe cause it'd be weird asking a guy to cut my hair. Or maybe it's just not a guy thing. Whatever.

I've always been amused, though, by the actual process of getting my hair cut. Few girls in college have much experience cutting hair, so most of the girls who have done mine are very nervous. I'm not really nervous, cause I'm a college guy and not many people care what I look like, but I guess they don't want to mess anything up and turn me into some horrible social outcast as the result of a bad haircut.

It's usually a good time for me, though, since I get to sit there and get a haircut (cause having other people work with your hair feels good) and chuckle to myself as the girl in question timidly slices at my head.

My most recent chop was just yesterday, courtesy of one of my friends, Emily. It wasn't the best haircut I've ever had, but it definitely wasn't the worst either, so I'm satisfied. My thanks to her. Hopefully she (and all the other girls who have asked to/I have wrangled into cutting my hair) got to pick up a little experience along the way.
