To cut my own hair?

[professorsnape]

I don't have the time (what with 3 DC under 5) to book an appointment, am a bit short on xtra cash this month, and am good with a scissors!

Shall I bob myself, fringe and all?!

Have you done it before? I would be petrified!

I do it all the time. But I am a man and just use clippers.

Search for the MN haircut threads - they'll tell you how to do it!

here's one

I do mine using the MN haircut, I've even been asked where I get it done.

Yesss!

I am fascinated by the MN haircut, and very admiring of anyone with the guts to do it. Please will you post pictures?

I have bobbed my own hair for about eight years and it looks fine. It helps if your hair is a bit curly/wavy to hide any mistakes though. Make sure you use sharp scissors.

Ooooh, did the last "I cut my hair thread" not illustrate what a bad idea this is?

a brave women than me, i don't even trust hairdressers, my hair is very long ( about 5 inches till it reaches my bum) badly needs cutting but have bad visions lol

I haven't been to a hairdresser in about 4 years.

I've never had a salon haircut I loved. I wanted a full fringe for years but no hairdresser would ever do it...always bullying me into the same boring straightened to death side parting Wetherspoons on a Fri night identi-cut. Hated it.

One bottle of vino + a pair of proper hair scissors later = never looked back

I would NEVER do the MN haircut as with insanely thick and plentiful tresses I would end up looking like SuBo but DIY hair cutting? Go for it!

A warning from the Voice Of Experience; cut your fringe DRY...
If you cut it wet it'll bounce up an inch once it's dry, leaving you with a rather different look!

I did the MN haircut, twas very easy. I have even been asked where I get my hair cut as they like it so muc, people are quite when I tell them I did it myself

I cut my own hair. Have only visited the hairdressers twice in the last 5 years. Resented the money each time and hated every minute of it. I do the front and sides and get a very nervous DH to do the back.
