I know a lot of you reject to the idea of cutting your own hair but...?

I want to do it, I might end up looking like an idiot in the end, but I don't really care.

Any suggestions as to how to make it look as good as possible?

I just want it to be really choppy and only take off a few inches. Nothing completely drastic.

You want to make sure you have REALLY sharp scissors. Normal house scissors aren't sharp enough, and they'll probably give you split ends. I would suggest calling a professional, but if you're insistent on doing it yourself - I would say do it a little at a time. You can put the hair back on once you've cut it off.

DO IT! I cut my hair a few months ago and I lovedddd it... I had ppl tell me they liked my hair and then were surprised when I said I cut it myself.... It was this layered style.. and still is cuz I havent cut it yet... I'm not ready to let it go yet, lol... Maybe add side-swept bangs... Anyways, I used barber scissors and this pair of scissors that has shears that are like the teeth on a comb. Look out for those, thye helped wiht the layers a bit... CUT AWAY! =)
