My hair is tailbone length but I started using it when I was above waist and still use it.

Just be sure to use decent scissors. You can get a good pair at Sally for $10-25

But only use them on hair.

It is possible to use sewing scissors if you have them but make sure they are sharp. Cutting hair with dull scissors can do just as much or more damage as the splits you are trying to remove.

I don't know if you can afford $10-25 or not but if you can use that method and only pay that price once it's like buy one haircut get the rest free.

If you try that method don't cut too much the first time. And you might want to do a few practise runs with making the tail and sliding the bands down without actually cutting. Some bands might work better than others depending on how thick your hair is.

Good luck

That's a great reference! If I weren't so chicken, I'd try it out when my hair grows back out.

Trimming it yourself isn't your only free option. Some beauty schools have free haircut days and that's how I usually get my hair cut. Trimming long hair straight is actually one of the harder cuts to get perfect, and it's not uncommon for the instructor to end up having to straighten it up a little. Also, if you are willing to go shorter, there are many salons and beauty schools that will give you a free haircut if you donate a 10" or more ponytail to Locks of Love.
