    Default How many pairs of scissors do you have?

    So I've always done s&d's before I knew that's what they were called. I have always owned two pairs of hair scissors. I keep one pair in the bedroom and one in the bathroom - the two places I tend to do my hair.

    Well a couple months ago I realized I should get a third pair for my jeep. At the end of the day I tend to chill in the jeep while my fiance runs into the store for last minute stuff. The sun is usually shining so nice at this time and I see splits and can't cut them.

    Then I come on here and find that reading about hair so much makes me check my own out waaaaaaaaaaay more often. So now I'm noticing my splits in front of the computer and keep getting up to run to the bathroom. I end up losing the split half the time and the rest of the time it's just annoying.

    So now I think I need to pick up two more pairs instead of just one. This would mean I would have 4 pairs of hair scissors! I was just wondering if this is normal and how many pairs us long hairs tend to have. Just curious.

    Sorry for the long post and thank you.

    I only have one pair. I hate loosing a split end while I'm tracking down my scissors that travel between my vanity and nightstand.... I think I may need another pair

    I only have the one pair too. I have been thinking of getting a smaller pair for car journeys though, just funds haven't allowed yet.

    Two, but I'm thinking of getting a third as I'm not 100% pleased with the sharpness of the newest pair.

    1 by the computer.

    1 in my bag.

    1 in the bedroom.

    1 each in 3 of our cars/trucks.

    1 in the kitchen.

    1 in the den.

    It's more because I always find the stupid things at random times, and then I don't have a good pair of scissors so I use whatever I can find (usually nail clippers) that are dull....

    Three--but one pair I don't like very much. Ideally for me I'd have one in the bathroom, one beside the computer and one in the car.

    I have one pair. I only S&D as a session. If I see an odd one or two I tend not to bother. That an my hair is only loose in the bedroom anyway!

    We have lots and lots in the house:

    Kitchen scissors about 7 or 8 of different sizes and power.
    Sewing - from sheers to small nail scissors.
    Paper scissors for scrap book
    Decorating - a huge pair of paper cutting sheers my Dad used.


    I usually have to go down the kitchen drawer to rescue my sewing scissors so now I colour code them, but that Im sure will only work short term.
