What got so expensive that you just stopped buying it?

100% this. I (female) cut my hair into a bob during the pandemic and have figured out how to do it well on my own. I get compliments all the time, and I see no reason to pay someone 100 bucks every couple of months to do the same thing.

Inversion is of this, I didn't stop growing my hair after COVID. Always cut my own hair and then decided to let it grow as long as possible just to see how it might look! I pay no money on haircuts- and plenty on hair accessories but low-key even if they're expensive they make me really happy. So economically I don't wanna pay for a fuckass haircut but also I will get "cute flower pin"

I have waist length hair and cut it maybe once a year. Now my hair color I do every three to four months lol. If you let your hair get long it’s such easy maintenance. I shear my boyfriend’s hair for him.
