To think I can cut my own hair

[RosaDeZoett]

Well, just my fringe mostly.... Like, how hard can it be?? 😂 Any tips before I start hacking away?

Wet hair stretches obviously so cut very little at a time as it will bounce up when dry

Yes. Voice of bitter experience here. Don't.

Watch few Youtube tutorials. Remember if the hair is wet, the dry hair will be much shorter. Take really sharp and smallish scissors.

Go for it. I've cut my own twice now (all the way round the back too) and it looks good.

Watched a load of you tube videos first and bought some hairdressing scissors off Ebay. Sectioned it all out to do it properly, and put layers etc in too.

Coloured it myself too, reckon I've saved at least £100

Does anyone remember the MN haircut so popular a few years ago?!

It worked well if you followed the instructions and did it properly. But I do recall a few disasters which were posted!

I've always cut my own fringe and my OH cuts the rest of it for me.

I only go to the hairdressers for highlights.

It gets shorter once it dries so I tend to dry cut it. I put the rest of my hair behind my ears so I can't accidentally snip into the non fringe bits.

My neice cut her own fringe as a dc. The entire left side only - up to the scalp!!

Only take a tiny bit off the fridge at a time. Like, really tiny. I cut my own hair & a few times I've decimated the front by accident, thinking I was only taking a bit off.

YouTube it. full of videos. I never go to the hairdresser and DIY cut instead

Ooooooo @PanPanPanPing is there a link?

I often cut my hair, have done so for years.

It's my hair.

Yep, I do mine

Use proper hair dressing scissors if you do.

I'd cut my own fringe bangs if I had them.

Proceed with caution!

I used to do my fringe all the time when i had one! Its easy tbh just take little bits off at a time.

Don't do ittttttt!!!!!!!

I always cut my hair, it's easy...but I would never cut a fringe. I'm not brave enough.

I always do my own. I do the MN haircut, but I have a fringe cut in too. I also colour it myself. I have saved a fortune!

I thought that most hairdressers will trim your fringe for free, if you get your hair cut there...so fringe trims in between cuts IYSWIM. My hairdresser does it, and always says he'd rather people came in than tried to do it themselves at home.

DO NOT FROWN whilst doing it

I've done this before and ended up with a lord farqar fringe.

Your hairstylist will probably do a free fringe trim for you in between cuts—most do.

It took me a while to find it, Finally, but here we go www.mumsnet.com/style-and-beauty/home-beauty-treatments. But you do need your hair to be reasonably long.

Cut it whilst dry and use proper hairdressing scissors.

Once you have cut it to the length you want hold it between your fingers then cut up into it vertically to soften it.

But yeah your hairdresser will likely do free fringe trims.

I've done the "MN haircut" (it's actually just a well known DIY haircut) a few times and it's fine. I do have very long hair though. And no fringe.

I'm always chopping bits of mine here and there. I used to do my fringe, but am growing it out now, and also the ponytail cut to put some layers in. Today, I cut some off the length, so it's a kind of bob.

Always do it dry and use proper hairdressing scissors and watch a few YouTube videos until you find a method you feel confident with.
