Today I did probably the most Mumsnetty thing I've ever done. Am the first to admit that when I read about it on Mumsnet I was deeply skeptical, but after today I'm converted. Go on, guess what it was?

What is a mumsnet haircut?
Tie your hair back in a pony tail, cut the bottom inch of the pony tail off, or more if you're brave.

I'm disappointed. I was expecting at the very least a Tiny Korean Lady in your back garden.

StationaryMagpie · 21/12/2021 21:35

StationaryMagpie · 21/12/2021 21:36

or is that one too far back in the annals of mumsnet for anyone else to remember?

HollyandIvyandAllThingsYule · 21/12/2021 21:37

They have indeed.

I've just read this title as the most Munchetty thing and wondered what the OP could do like Naga from BBC Breakfast

Laughed so loud you woke the baby up?

Fired your house manager?

Preemptively taken a Baylis & Harding gift set to a charity shop?

Called your husband Dee-Haitch out loud?

Conflated the UK with England within earshot of a Welsh person?

So, so funny!

@frogswimming

What is a mumsnet haircut?
It when you tie your hair into a pony tail as far forward on top of your head as you can and scissor into it, not straight across. So kind of like a unicorn horn and then chop in.

It's meant to give some kind of Rachel-from-friends type cut but it really doesn't work for everyone 🙈
