I’m autistic, I’ve had one haircut since covid because I hate the sensory aspect of haircuts. I’ve been searching online of how to cut hair and it doesn’t look that hard, but a lot of people seem to advise against it. I think that if I fuck it up it’s not the end of the world, I can just go to a professional. But I have very long hair so I have a lot of opportunity for trial and error. I think that if I get some practice, it’s something I can continue to do going forward. I also don’t particularly care how it looks, I just want it to be shorter.


Mine is 30-40 cm (man) and I do it myself with scissors. Forget all the “hacks” and just do whatever u think will look good freehand. I do recommend getting good scissors intended for cutting hair. Normal ones are not sharp enough.
Thank you! I will have a go and see how it works out
