I'm growing my hair out a bit. Once it's long enough I need a New Style.

whoops, I didn't give you a tip. I only really have tips for trimming short hair though, and I'm probably too late anyhow.

twelve years pass...

Hurricane cabin fever strikes, but tbf there's a low chance of disaster due to baldness/clippers all round

This is embarrassingly relevant to my interests.

Pro tip: run the clippers over the same area multiple times, especially on the back of your head, to avoid the chance of missing the odd tuft.

my tip is to give the clippers to a reliable friend and instruct them to hide them until you are sober

No clippers. And you'll catch that odd tuft the next day, after a shower or w/e. Hand-mirror pointing at wall-mirror in one hand, scissors in the other = let it rip.

I used scissors back when I had detectable hair of a visible length and color. Now that I have only minimal remnants adorning the sides of my skull, clippers are the way to go.
