Keeping your line-up fresh can put a serious dent in your wallet. The multiple barber visits throughout the month add up — depending on the rate of hair growth, you could be shelling out hundreds of dollars, monthly.

Joshua Esnard has patented and created the perfect tool that allows people to save cash and cut their own hairlines.

As written on the official site, he “created The Cut Buddy in 2000, when he was 13 years old, and patented multiple designs in January 2015, at the age of 28.”

This haircut and beard line-up template is an Amazon.com Best Seller and has received rave reviews for its stunning DIY capabilities. The website also features a variety of videos with barbers showing how they use The Cut Buddy to line-up beards and achieve a clean, crisp haircut.

It’s flexible – adjusts to all hairlines and head/beard sizes, strong (plastic, rubber design and durable), light-weight (carry it anywhere you go) and small. No more worrying about carrying bulky items while you’re traveling.

“It was because of necessity. I couldn’t afford to go to the barber every week…you know? I just didn’t have the time, really. So, creating The Cut Buddy was basically a guide that allowed me to line-up, shape-up [and] tape-up my hair perfectly, quickly and on time.” – Joshua Esnard (Founder), Official Site

The Cut Buddy ships worldwide, uses most payment methods, including Pay-Pal and even has a military order form.

“The product works for a military man who is overseas and can’t get to a barber. It works for a barber that’s in training…the product has been very special and we’re looking forward to moving to new heights and providing people [with] a tool that allows them to be more confident.” – Joshua Esnard (Founder), Official Site

It also makes it possible for you to keep a line-up fresh in between barber visits. $14.99 plus shipping is an excellent deal compared to the hundreds of dollars that are often spent at the barbershop.

The Cut Buddy is helping people all around the world become bosses at cutting their own hair.

Floyd Dent is an amazing man. He has worked his entire adult life, from age 20-57, for Ford Motor Company in suburban Detroit. Never a day in his life has he been in trouble with the law. Loved by his family and community, he’s about as upstanding of a citizen as a man could be. So, when the Michigan State Police in Wayne County, outside of Detroit, trailed Floyd’s car, suspecting him of purchasing drugs, what happened next may be the most preposterous case of police brutality in modern American history.

Yanked from his car and put into a brutal, illegal choke hold, officers begin to repeatedly punch Floyd in the face, nearly knocking him unconscious. Another officer comes up and shocks Floyd three separate times with his Taser - putting him at great risk of death. In all, ten officers, all of them white, made contact with Floyd during this ordeal.

While in the hospital, Floyd was forced to take drug tests, which all came back negative for drugs.

They eventually charged him with not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Floyd even disputes this charge. One of the officers, as you will see in the video, was previously cited by the government for falsely planting evidence.

Kam Brock says she is definitely not crazy, but eight days in the Harlem Hospital psych ward being treated for delusions and bipolar disorder make it look otherwise.

According to the New York Daily News, the whole ordeal started when Brock’s car was seized by the NYPD, who suspected she was high on weed and confiscated her car even though they found no marijuana. When Brock returned to claim her car, she was understandably upset, but not upset enough to justify what happened next.

“Next thing you know, the police held onto me, the doctor stuck me with a needle, and I was knocked out,” Brock said told the Daily News. “I woke up to them taking off my underwear and then went out again. I woke up the next day in a hospital robe.”

In an attempt to explain her situation to the hospital workers, Brock tried a character reference that epically backfired. “I told (the doctor) Obama follows me on Twitter to show her the type of person I am. I’m a good person, a positive person. Obama follows positive people!” she said.

But apparently, the hospital didn’t believe her. Nor did they believe that she worked at a bank. As hospital records show, her treatment was intended to get her to face the “reality” that she was unemployed and that Obama was not following her.

After eight days of group therapy and sedatives, as well as doses of lorazepam and lithium, she was released without explanation.

Then, on top of everything else, Brock received a bill for $13,637.10 from the hospital.

Since then, she has filed suit for unspecified damages. As she continues her crusade for justice, she has one wish: “Follow me on Twitter! Like Obama does!”
