At the barber's
Watch Dev from India and Fernando from Spain visit the barber's.

I have my hair cut once in every two months. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I always like to wait till it grows longer. Going to the barber is my nightmare. They don't often cut my hair as I want to, maybe my head does not fit the kind of the hair cut I want to have, or they have difficulties in understanding my language. I wish I could cut my hair by myself, and could save myself from the barber.

It sounds crazy but I cut my hair once a week XD.I don't let my hair grow.That's why I visit the barber shop so often.I have crew cut hairstyle,as you can see in my picture.I ask the barber to cut the back and sides of my head using number 1 clipper attachment and in the top just a little bit longer.Well I have a fixed barber,so he already knows how I want to get my hair done.I once had mohawk style but not anymore,maybe further on I'll have it again.

Hi Raulito
Wow - that's a lot. I haven't been to a barber's in years. I use clippers and do it myself, though I don't have that much hair anymore.
Thanks
