Has anyone used this mirror? Or know anyone who has? I am looking for a mirror that will allow me to do the back of my hair with both hands at the same time. Thanks

Ummmm....I'm pretty sure my mother had one of these when I was growing up. If I remember correctly, it was good for magnifying facial shots, and skin pores for deep cleansing. I'm not sure if this would help you see what's going on behind your head, because of the angle the mirror is placed at when its around your neck. You have to look down into the mirror, so this could turn into a pain in the neck literally, since the mirror will only reflect what's above. I usually stand with my back to a dresser or bathroom mirror and look in a smaller hand held mirror when I want a rear view, but like you said the hands are not free. There are 3-way mirrors, great for side views and 360 degree mirrors that can help you see what's going on behind you.
Here's the link for a 360 degree cosmetic mirror:

Thanks. I am just looking for ways to save time with cornrows and such. It now takes me about 2 hrs just because of parting and I really dont have the extra time anymore with hubby, school, work and volunteering.
