Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

And thats why i don't trust barbers since the age of 12 and I just cut my own hair (90% success rate)
I cut SO's hair. I got a "UFO"-shaped thing for about 120RMB (about fifteen bucks) that features adjustable hair length from 3mm to 19mm. Every week he sits in the bathroom, I trim back his hair to levels suited to the season (currently it's 5mm at the sides to 9mm at the top, with some 3mm smoothing along the edges), and he then showers and cleans the floor. Net cost: a few fractions of a cent in electricity. The device paid for itself within two months of purchase in saved barber's fees.
And he actually prefers the simple cuts I give him to the barber ones. (Or he's sweet enough to pretend to; I'm pretty good at sussing his real feelings, though.)
I wish I could get a device that simple and practical for my own hair. It would make my life so much easier.
