#5 Frugality
     Haircuts

     I picked up the scissors at age 13 and cut my locks for the first time. Since then, I’ve cut my hair for most of my adult life. For practical reasons of saving time and money for a haircut, my style is kept to a minimal fuss, and I can cut my hair under five minutes.
     All the hair is gathered at the top of my head, and then I cut however much I want trimmed off. When it gets let down, the longest strands in the back are trimmed an additional 1” to 2”. Having two mirrors, one in back on a slight angle from the one in front, give additional view points when cutting your own hair.
