Hi! I served a mission in the Sweden Stockholm mission several years ago and am now married to a returned missionary and starting a family.

Please share this blog with others so we can help as many future missionaries as possible. Feel free to add your own advice. I hope this can help many young people preparing to go on a mission, but most specifically, sisters.

Have fun and let me know if you have any questions or any post ideas!

Missionary haircuts (mostly for sisters)

So my sister-in-law brought up a good question. How do missionaries get their haircut in the mission field? At the MTC, they have (or at least they did when I was there) BYU cosmetology students who cut your hair for free while you are there. In the mission field, though... Elders have it pretty easy; a lot of guys can cut their own hair with hair clippers. You could have your companion or other missionaries do it. Some state-side missions may have barbers who will do missionary haircuts for free. Other than that, you could ask members, or maybe even the people you teach. But, as a sister (and even as an elder too), it may be hard to find someone you trust enough to cut your hair. Especially as a missionary where it is important to look your best. A good idea might be to learn how to do it yourself! My sister-in-law found a couple of good little videos on youtube that might help you. Both she and my sister have tried it and it worked out really well for them. I am strongly considering trying it out myself.

Here's how to cut and layer your own hair in only a few minutes. It would probably work best for girls with medium/long hair who want long layers.

Here's another one that shows how to do some framing around your face.
