The question should you cut your own hair isn't one to take lightly unless you're an octopus. First of all, it can be very difficult to see the back side of the head effectively, then of course, it's using a pair of scissors on the back, and lastly, realizing that everything you see in the mirror is the reverse of what it truly is.
One of the ways to determine whether you should attempt cutting is what type of style you want. The more complicated the style is, the harder it will be to do it alone. If it's just a trim on the bangs and a few side pieces, it's a lot easier.
You can set up a variety of mirrors to see the back of the head, but unless you can reverse your hand movements, it's going to be difficult to cut effectively. In other words, don't try this at home with a style, rather ask a friend to trim the back.
There are a few implements that may be used to trim a style. It could be an electric trimmer if you want a really close style, perhaps one known as a 'Buzz Cut'. This is a really close shave to the scalp and can be done with a good pair of clippers.
You may also find a vacuum style trimmer. These lift the hair off the head and trim it inside a tube. You must be very careful when doing this to maintain the same distance from the scalp or you'll wind up with long and short pieces in the wrong places.
In order to cut your own hair, you'll need to take several things into consideration. First of all, the type of cut, then whether it's manageable to do the back of the head, and lastly, know that you can give yourself an even cut all the way around the head. If it's a simple bang style, you can do it yourself rather handily, but anything else, enlist a friend or family member to help you.
