[BlindTlk] Cutting your own hair

[Michael]

     When I lost my sight 12 years ago my dad took me to the barber shop 
and the barber asked my dad how I wanted my hair cut.  That was the last 
time I had my hair cut by someone else.  The instructions tell you to 
use three guards with different lengths, the shorter one of the three 
cutting from the bottom of the neck to the middle of the head, the next 
longer one from there to the top, and the longest one cutting the top of 
the head.  It is simple, and I figure I have saved over a thousand 
dollars and tons of frustration.  I use bump dots to identify the 
differing guard lengths.
