Have a Haircut by Yourself

I. Attention Getter:

Statement of Fact

A. Good morning everyone, today, I will talk about how to have a haircut by yourself.

B. As we all know that everyone will have a haircut when the hair is a mess or just too long. It’s a normal thing happened in our lives. And different people love different hairstyles, but the truth is that whether we have long hair or short hair, we have to trim it. As a scientific investigation said “Long hair should be trimmed at least every 8 to 12 weeks.” and “Short hair should be trimmed every 4 to 8 weeks to keep the shape of your haircut fresh.”

II. Showing the Need (Describing the problem):

A. In my opinion, having a haircut in a barber shop is not so convenient.

B. It will cost you much time to find a barber shop and also you have to talk a lot with the barber to describe what you want to get. Unfortunately, the barber usually can’t make us satisfied especially in China. But I am not mean that we will always have a haircut by ourselves, it’s better for people who don’t have time or they are just in bad mood not to talk with any people.

C. I would like to introduce some facts of haircut, so that you may think that having a haircut by yourself is not bad,

Statistics/Statement of Fact

1. As the message I had achieved, most of people choose to have a haircut in a barbershop because they think the barbers are more professional. But someone said that he will try to have a haircut by himself if he has the talent. It means people choose barbershops because they don’t know how to have a haircut by themselves.

2. I had searched for American barber shops gain how much money from each product such as hair-tonic and hair dye, but there’s no result. What I know is that in China and Korea, they can gain 5 times more than the price they purchased.

3. The price is really not cheap especially for girls’ hair, girls want beautiful hairstyle, so they usually don’t care about the price. Some days ago my friend who is from China too told me that she paid 150 dollars to just get a hair straightening. I think she is crazy.

4. And I had seen an article on the internet yesterday which is to introduce the influence of air quality impacted by barber shops. Their products can include chemical composition such as ammonia which is not conductive to protect the environment.

So that you can find that if we can have haircut by ourselves some times, many problems can be solved. The next, I will introduce you how to do this.

III. Satisfying the Need: The Solution

A. Wash your hair, but don't dry it, so that we can guarantee the angle of hair we want to cut can be the same.

B. Make sure where you wish to cut, you can’t cut the fringe when you want to cut the sideburns. If you do this, the barber has no ability to save you.

C. Use a comb to catch the parts you want to cut and trim the ends. Some hair that you can’t see, you can use mirrors. And then repeat this action until the length you are satisfied. Don’t be afraid, it won’t be ugly if you do this rightly.

D. At last, make sure that you have made different parts of your hair be neat. You can’t just cut your left side hair only if you want to get a special hairstyle.

IV. Visualizing the Results:

After that, you will find it is not difficult to have a haircut by yourself. It can save your time, save your money and protect the environment. I can imagine that more and more people will have different and interesting hairstyles because they can cut their own hair and cut whatever shapes they like. Although it is a small thing, it can increase your confidence and talent.

V. Call for Action!

So I want to ask you to have a try. It can be interesting and will make you feel successful. But I can’t join with you because I want to have long hair with pigtails.

Thank you.
