The Top 10 reasons it’s cool to let your wife cut your hair:
1. It’s shows you don’t have any trust issues because she has sharp objects near your head and you’re not flinching a whole lot.
2. There’s a good chance you’ll look totally stylin’ because she’s the one who has to look at you all the time.
3. Not having to fight for a seat or read year-old magazines while waiting for a haircut at a pay-for-a-cut place ... priceless.
4. It’s easier to make small talk with your better half than some stranger with cold fingers. (Although most people who have cut my hair over the years have been exceedingly nice).
5. Despite having to vacuum up your own hair afterward, the process helps keep the kitchen floor clean.
6. We can save the $15 we would have spent on a haircut and put it toward a Hawaiian vacation. By the time we have saved for the whole trip, I will probably have gone bald and we’ll qualify for AARP travel discounts.
7. The savings will double when she can also cut your child’s hair. Watch out, Cutlet!
8. She is learning skills that could save the family farm in a pinch, although she says she only has scissors for you.
9. She’s in a better mood when her hair looks good, and it’s easier to justify the whopping salon bill she’ll incur for her own head if it’s offset by Haircut: The Home Game on yours.
10. If she messes up and does something drastic, you have leverage to get stuff you want.*
*Basically, you can never use this one because for a healthy marriage you’ve gotta suck it up and say, “Don’t worry, babe. It’ll grow back.” Or, alternately, “That’s OK, I can wear a hat for three weeks.” Just be thankful she’s willing to do it at all!
For the ladies, I bet you’ll NEVER let your significant other touch your hair. Am I right? Discuss.
I'm sure I can use this information later in life, or have my balding years already cropped up? ;)
Never ever ever. Ever! And I have to say, Petite is a braver woman than I am. I've been the victim of way too many mom-given horrible haircuts to risk doing that to my husband.
You didn't mention the possibility that she could make your hair look bad so no one else would want to look at you! :)
My husband shaves his head every three days or so. In the beginning I did it for him, but now he does it himself.
And you're right. After seeing him try to make pony tails for Boogie, I wouldn't let him cut mine. But he does a good job in blow drying her hair, so there's hope!
I will not cut my husband's hair. He takes more time styling his than I do! I can't imagine messing it up. He'd probably quit his job or something...
I used to cut my husbands hair. One day I "slipped" with the shears(he was in the military)and he got a nice large bald spot in the back of his head. He was 21 years old, he is now 41 and has STILL not let me forget how he had to explain to his Major how he went bald overnight!
Very interesting blog! :O)
