I once said that and the lady got all pissed because she didn't know what to do... she was all b!tchy about it too. Nowadays, I just say 2 on the sides, 7 on top. Sometimes I let my brother cut my hair, he does an alright job.

I cut my own hair.

I have to say I love talking to myself in the bathroom.

I'm like " hay guy"

and I'm like " whats up guy"

and then we cuts our hair really short and anti itchy. cuz it itches when we sweats

I don't know, I don't let guys cut my hair. If I go into a place and the only person available is a guy, I come back later. I've never had a good experience when a man cut my hair, plus I don't need them touching me.

Number two on the sides, blended into an inch and a half on the top. And sometimes I get it frosted.

"high and tight". If they don't know what that is, I tell them skin all the way around and a #2 or 3 on the top.

What the heck does #7 on the top look like?

i get my friends to cut my hair.. saves me $$, booya :D

fwiw, i've found that a 4 all the way around gives a great combo between short hair and keeping it the way i like it (too short and it cuts off too much on the front)

Usually, cut it short. Past few times, I tried getting the barber to leave it longer since I think I look really weird with very short hair. Then I just give up and say, same as last time then let it grow till it looks better.
