self haircut challenge

Welcome to...

THE SELF-HAIRCUT CHALLENGE

A. WHAT IS THE CHALLENGE ALL ABOUT?

When Covid-19 happened, many establishments closed, and one of those who weren't spared were barbershops and hair salons. The time came when some shops opened, but they had to add "Covid surcharge" to the regular bill. This meant going to hair shops became more expensive than usual. So, people started to look for a solution to control their wildly grown locks but not necessarily spend too much. What is that solution? The DIY haircut!

Doing a self-haircut has become a go-to solution for those in desperate need of a trim. It became a challenge for some. There are video posts online showing people having a self-haircut challenge. They made it look simple and easy, but it's not actually a piece of cake once you're doing it yourself. However, it is fun to do and worth your time as you get to learn more about your preferred hairstyles. You get to learn a new skill, and the best takeaway, you save money.

OMIRO, a brand selling mirrors online, decided to run a challenge for those interested in doing a self-haircut. You won’t only get to try cutting your strands, but you will also get a chance to have a free Haircut Trifold Mirror from Omiro and win an awesome reward.

    D. HOW TO DO THE CHALLENGE?

    1. First, check if you have the following tools: a trifold mirror, timer, phone/ camera for video recording, a good pair of scissors/ clippers, comb, a barber cape, and a neck duster.

    2. Choose from our easy DIY haircuts (for men and women), or you can opt for a more complicated one if this is not your first time cutting your hair at home.

    3. Next, set up the place and the tools you will need for the challenge. Pick a bright room. Some prefer to do it in their bathroom, while some do it in the yard. Anywhere you are comfortable is ok.

    4. Have your timer or stopwatch ready before doing your haircut. For this challenge, you are only allowed to spend a maximum of 30 minutes to finish the task.

    5. Ready your video recorder. A mobile phone can do. Take a high-quality time-lapse video of yourself from beginning to end. Make sure that your start and end time are visible in the video. (See sample video below)
