So would now be a good time to try The Mumsnet Haircut?

[FiveFootTwoEyesOfBlue]

I mean, if it goes horribly wrong, no-one's going to see it. I can wear a woolly hat when I go out (once a day).

Has anyone done it? Are the instructions still up somewhere?

linky to one of many threads

But if it goes really wrong, there will be no one there to fix it. 😳

I predicted it's return on a thread a few days ago.

It doesn't matter if it goes wrong, who is going to see it?

I'm tempted to have a go!

I did it a once, ended up with an awful Jem and the Holograms mullet.

Don't do it. Don't be stupid like I was.

Frankly I think this is one of the more sensible posts on this issue.

Why not try it? As you say it's not like you are going anywhere/seeing anyone.

Though I'd look at a fair few videos first as from memory you need to follow the instructions very carefully.

The biggest issue is getting the bobble too near your forehead and ending up with a micro fringe. That you can't hide...anything else you can cover with a pony tail.

Whenever I've tried it it worked great... Until it didn't

Oh g'wan - and then everyone post photos to cheer up the rest of us.

It will grow out before long

First time it did it it looked great.

Second time, not so much.

There won’t be a third time.

First time I did it I looked a bit like I belonged in status quo. Second time I watched more videos and chopped into it much more and it looked better.

My DH bought some rechargeable clippers. I had a go, but was a bit scared so didn’t really take much off.
So, he took matters into his own hands......... there are only 3 bald patches and he’s quite pleased with himself 😀

His own hair I hasten to add - not mine!

Ooh this is tempting.

Oh I miss chat about mn haircuts don't forget of it goes wrong you can cover with the mn scarf

Warning - this is an entirely lighthearted response:

Your hair has grown so much in 12 hours that you need to cut it?
Are you Tressy?
Look for a button in your back.

I keep taking bits off my fringe.
I saw this on Facebook and it brought back memories

I've been eyeing up my DS, who is long overdue a barber's visit, and wondering whether to have a go with the dog clippers. I've done his fringe already and it's not awful, but he might draw the line at me attempting a #4 round the back and sides!

I've been sitting around snipping off individual split ends with my hair scissors. There's so many!

I've been doing this for years. I ring the changes by putting the band in different places. Sometimes I do a fringe as well- same technique but at the front, like a unicorn.

Take it easy at first.

I've even had complements.

So, a mixed response!

@Lellochip Do you know what you did wrong? At first I thought you'd tied bits of red cotton into your hair

Dog clippers

I'm tempted but nervous, will see if I can psych myself up. Will definitely not do a fringe.

I've done it before (about ten years ago) and it was fine... but I'm not the erm most-groomed person around
It was better than leaving it stupidly long at a time that I really couldn't get to a hairdresser.
I was thinking that now is the time to dye hair blue or whatever crazy things you've always wanted to try but can't because you work in a solicitor's or whatever.

Husband did mine with the clippers earlier 🙂 very happy 🙂
