I wash mine at home and then scuttle to the salon with it wet, and I've trained her to cut it then hand me the hairdryer to waft at it for two minutes on my own before I slap a few quid on the counter and book in for next month. Bingo. <br />Love this.

Surely you aren't that bald? but a woolly hat might be a good idea, you're heading into winter there.<br />I used to get a dry cut too, wash my own hair the day before or on that morning then go in and get the sprayer treatment. <br />Now I cut my own. It's long,(ish) so I put it in pigtails and chop a half inch off each one. Trim the fringe by running the scissors just under the eyebrows.

I honestly believe people thought, as I do when someone has their hair cut, "You look a bit different. Why? Anyway back to my life..." Kids, though. That's a different matter.
