14. I got my hair cut in March for the first time in probably 40 years.

I've always just braided it in a single braid and sometimes up in a bun. I've always thought that was a whole lot easier (and cheaper) than getting hair cuts all the time.

It's never grown much beyond my waist, but even that had started to become a bit too much to for this old lady to deal with.

So I walked into a shop and asked if anyone could do a pixie cut.

Now it's been about 4 months and it's starting to get in my eyes so I guess I need another hair cut but that's what I've been trying to avoid for decades.

I have a vague recollection of some sort of a hair cutter.... kinda like a vacuum that you just run over your head and it cuts every hair the same length... Does such a thing exist?
