How to cut your own hair~~ I DID IT !!!

I finally did it. I got so fed up today, I just started cutting. 
I've been working on it for a bit too long, I had to research some videos on you tube, GREAT resource btw, I learned a lot. 


Then I tried the whole video taping thing, and lets just say IF I can ever edit it so I don't look like a total goofball , I may show you guys that sometime. 


Until then, here are some pics. Hope you enjoy!!
Thanks to LITTLE MISS MAMA and all her photo shoots, I mustered up a little courage to take a million pics of myself, and post them here. Please be nice, I'm def not a pro like her!!
 BEFORE
AFTER

Yikes, what a difference some powder makes hugh???
 Oh and my fav RED lips, I love red lips!!


 
 Thank you AGAPE LOVE DESIGNS for this fabulous headband. 
I tried wearing it like you had it modeled in your shop, but I'm a total dork, and I couldn't do it, lol. 

Thank you LUXE BLVD for these awesome headbands, and hair clips. My princess jumped in for some photos, she loves looking all pretty too, and wanted lipstick too, but this time the headbands were enough to make her happy, he he. 

SO what do you all think. Is it acceptable?
Would you ever cut your own hair?
HAVE you ever cut your own hair?
Should I leave it, or cut it shorter?
If anyone wants to see the video, let me know, otherwise, I will trash it, because I hate being on tape, lol.

    Holy cow! Your hair looks amazing! Never would have thought that was a DIY haircut, looks like you spent big money :D Now I would end up cutting my ear off if I tried, hahaha!

    Love the headbands and hairclips too!

    Wow, Bella, I am so impressed with you! You are like a total pro hair stylist! Your hair looks so fab! I cant believe you cut it yourself. :)
    And I LOVE the red lip stick, I can see why its your fav, :) So gorgeous on you!
    The hubs mentioned wanting me to try red lipstick.. but i never thought I could pull it off. Didnt think I had the right hair color or skin tone to pull it off.. BUT.. I think after seeing you. I want to go for it! :)

    BTW the headband looks great on you! And your little princess. And BTW IM a dork too and cant always pull off that certain look with the headband either.. which is why the picture in my shop was of my daughter! :) She pulls that look off better than me. HAHA
    You still look great tho, and YES lets see a video! I think it would be fun to see you on video. I loved videos of people from blogs cause then you get to really see them, and hear them.. which is very cool to me. :)

    Wow.. was that a long comment or what!? hehe

    Much love to you!!

    Love the new cut! So cute! I cut my own hair, too. It started one day with just pulling out the scissors and going nuts. I'm pretty good at it, now. Thanks for sharing.

    I <3 your new do! And those lips... VAVAVOOM! I would never cut my own hair (you gave me the courage to cut Little Girl's) but it would take a boatload to muster that much to do my own! Her is curly, mines wavy and not so easily hidden!

    Aren't your pretty! I don't think you need any makeup whatsoever, girl, you are stunning either way.
    Have you booked your ticket to Leeds yet to give me a haircut?

    Wow! Impressive! I would never attempt to cut my own hair! I am sure it would turn out horrible and uneven! You did such a good job!

    I have recently taken to cutting my own hair- cut out the middleman (excuse the pun!!!) The only downside, I find, is that it all becomes a bit addictive and I find myself chopping a bit here and there everytime I look in the mirror... Your photos look really great, I wouldn't be as brave as you!!!

My photo
In my spare time I enjoy cooking, and baking. In fact my mother and I have been making cakes for over 30 years. I also love gardening, traveling, and all things crafty. I struggle daily to keep my like organized, along with my never ending battle to keep the house clean. I adore my three kids MOST of the time, and can usually be found doing the mom thing from morning till night. I try to catch a few mommy moments, but those are hard to find in this wonderful life of mine. I am blessed and happy, and am thrilled you stopped by today :)
