Good luck!!!!!Let us all know how it turns out. I need to work up enough courage to do that myself but my hand eye coordination is not the greatest ok ok I'll be honest my hand eye coordination sucks

LOL, I just took a stab at trimming my hair myself. Someone posted a link on trimming hair that I found works well. If I find it, I will post it for you. Good Luck!

No problem. I always trim my own hair because I know what is split and I know what I need. So this is what I do. I stark by parting my hair in 4 sections. (from ear to ear, then from front to back. Now one section at a time starting from the back. ( I do mines dry or wet) If my hair has a lot of split ends I do it dry. If not then I do it wet. Now I comb the hair so that it is straight. Then I part it. NOT TOO BIG The part is fromt the left to right. Once I comb straight I put my fingers over the hair as if they were scissors. Then I trim BELOW the fingers only what was split.You can tell if it is split because it looks scraggly. Do this all around. When you get to the front you part going from the front of your head to the back. Make sure your sections are not to wide when you are trimming the sections. When your finished just randomly look at pieces while combing upward and trim. The key to trimming is not to take too much off. You may not get everything. But nobody does. I've been doing this for 4 years now and I'm happy. HTH!!

I tirm my own hair by putting it into a pony tail and cutting of the ends and then after that I part my hair in sections and trim that way too.
