The other week we purchased a Remmington home-haircut kit, complete with powered clippers, capes, brushes, combs etc. to satisfy my compulsion to prove, yet again, that I am a tight-ass when it comes to money; because I figured that we could pay back by Christmas what we save by cutting Riley’s hair at home, rather than taking him to the hairdressers. Yes? Good plan?

Home haircut

Well, not really.

By the time we were done, the hair was so uneven and scruffy it would’ve been better to leave it alone in the first place.
