prepositionsreflexive-pronouns

Is it "I cut my hair myself" or "I cut my hair by myself" or "I cut my hair"?

Which one of the three is grammatically correct?

Best Answer

Each one of those sentences has a different implication although they all could give the same meaning which is doing something alone.

The first one is used when you want to imply that you are the only one who cut his hair.

The second sentence implies you cut your hair without anyone helping you.

The last one is kind of ambiguous. You are just saying you did cut your hair. There could be someone that helped, cut it for you or did the same thing to himself. No implications.
