Cut my hair/ had(get) my hair cut
If a hairdresser cut your hair you would say "I got my hair cut (yesterday)."(#1)
But I heard from someone that native speaker sometimes just say "I cut my hair"(#2) even though he didn't cut his hair but a hairdressor did.
I think what they mean is not #2 but #1, but they just say #2 for some reason, don't they?
