Default d-i-y haircut .....

You must be a pretty bad haircutter then. I've always done mine and it seems
to be acceptable, however this weather I'm going to let it grow for a while.
The trick is layering and careful use of the electric clippers, IE don't
just go to a line and stop.
Always combed every so often to look at straggly bits and do not worry too
much about the carrot top effect you can retrain hair if you use a little
dampness when combing it.

Remember I am blind so do it more or less by feel.

In fact even when I could see, looking is not that easy to do, so learning
what is right for your hair a bit at a time is the best approach.
Of course I'm talking no frills here, if you want a style then go to a
pro.
