Really, truly did your hair get whacked up?  So sorry.  Be sure and leave a review where you bought it.

OMG yes! it's really short now because I had to even it out with my old hair trimmer, but at least it's even.

Damn Girl! I thought sure you would whack hubby with the thing first! Us men really don't give much of a rusty what our hair looks like! hell, we can just put on our caps! You girls on the other hand......Oh Noes!

Short hair looks nice too, if that helps any! Remember, if it sounds to good to be true, it prolly is!
I'm the guy your mother warned you about!

I was going to but hubby got stuck putting a Christmas gift together for my Cousin's Son so I got impatient and decided to try it on myself. It actually looks pretty good from the trimmer, short but good.

Nothing wrong with short hair on a lady BG.  :-)
As long as it's not too short. :wink:

Now as long as we are talking hair, what do I use on my Maine Coon Cat that gets mats.??

It costs--grab your heart--$125.00 to clip a Coon Cat in this area.  They have to receive general  Anastasia and sleep this off.

I have taken the beast to a few cat grooming shops in the area, but now the only places I can find are 50 miles away, all the local ones when I give my name and they had groomed my cat in the past, tell me that they no longer do Maine Coons. Strange, I wonder why why.

Being an American raised on the theory that duck tape solves all, suggested to Hubby we tape the claws in duck tape to use a pet clipper on her.

Hubby reacted not too well to the idea, what about his teeth.   Well we could put a sock on his head--sort of like blindfolding a horse to lead them from a burning barn.

 Hubby went off for a few hours, sat at a local bar and lamented the day he ever met me.

 No freaking way was I going to do this with his help.  He made the last appointment to get the cat a lion cut and now that the cat needs it again keeps an evil eye on me,--no socks or duck tape on HIS cat.

Cats do not get along with vacuum cleaners, I do not think this divice would work too well on him.

So what now do I do now that the male will not allow either of us to comb or brush him, I tried cutting the mats off but Hubby had a shit fit that I was going to cut into the cats skin.

When I married this man 20 years ago I had no idea that he even liked pets.     Now he seems to like them better then he does me.

I really don't think the Flowbee qualifies as hair care.
And anyway, it was all Ballygrl's fault.

You will never read anything at the DUmp any funnier, or DUmber, than a cat receiving "general Anastasia".

Vesta, try a rubber pet brush. My Australian Shepherd gets mats when she switches from her summer coat to winter coat, and a rubber pet brush really helps a lot.  Plus, she loves being brushed with it.

I know exactly what you mean!  When ours gets a gnarly old mat, you can't touch her for awhile.  But after a long time she wants to be rid of it and will just about beg to get us to get it off.  She's not a full registered coon, but a descendant with hair not quite as long as your cat's.

She is afraid of ANY loud noise and will run and hide.  We shoulda named her scardy cat  :-)

OMG yes! it's really short now because I had to even it out with my old hair trimmer, but at least it's even.

I have worn my hair very short like in the youtube video I posted for years.  Wash and wear with just a comb-through was my favorite aspect of it short.  You might like how easy that style of hair is to manage.  I also have wavy hair, and that cut made it so much easier to care for. 

Don't be surprised if some women hit on you.  Speaking from experience from up here in the northern MN hinterlands, where the population is sparse and the pickings are slim (so they just didn't know that I just liked my hair short). 

Well, twice now in the last year or so, it happened again, so I am growing it a bit longer - going for chin length with bangs.   :hyper:

I've had my hair really short for years on and off, I love not having to go crazy styling it, just put some mousse in it, blow dry it and go. LOL, I know what you're saying when it's very short, but I'm totally a girly girl, make-up on, eye brows done, a few pieces of jewelry on including a wedding ring, and nails painted, no way am I mistaken for a "butch".
