I bloody love the MN haircut.

[Psammead]

I've been doing it for 2 years now. I don't even want to know how much money I would have spend in the meantime at the salon. It's so easy! And I have the confidence now to try different styles, different ponytail positions etc. Goodbye long layers, hello shoulder length cut! And I don't have to sit in the hairdressers chair and cringe because I hate it when they brush my hair due to an old skull fracture.

That and the mooncup. Saved me a fortune!

Brilliant!

Have you un-hairbanded happyfeet? What's the initial verdict pre-dry or is it too early to say?

For those too scared, trust me, I was absolutely PETRIFIED. All I could think as I did it was "ohmygodIshalllookawfulifitgoeswrongwhatamIgonnadoifitgoeswrong", but it didn't !

I recommend taking it slowly and cutting a bit at a time, you can always re-tie and cut more off if you want.

But don't be scared...the elation is great afterwards !

But if you do more than 1 ponytail, you have to cut them all evenly? That is advanced!

Oh my God you are all making me cry laughing!

Hilly !

Bumsex ?

Actually, no - not until some of you lot have posted before and after photos anyway.

Go for it, delilah!

Oh I'm definitely doing this later/this weekend. Curly hair is in desperate need of layers!

I just did it!
Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you! Desperately needed a chop and really couldn't afford one.

I need photos from someone else to prove it works.

Preferably more than one

it was always going to descend into bumsex it being Friday and all

Er. Pompons.

How's it looking, Stick ?

This looks great! Looks gorgeous on you, Psammead! I am somewhat sick, however, that I have been paying a fortune at the hairdresser for what looks like the exact same haircut . I'm going to try this in a couple of weeks when my hair needs cutting again . Any chance of moving the thread so it's not lost before I get my arse into gear am ready? for posting this .

Picture, Three ?

Sorry, Vivi. I have lowered the tone.

Alopogies.

You can watch thread so you can keep it to do ?

Have we establised if kitchen scissors are ok? I often hack knots out my hair and when I had a fringe always cut that myself, but not sure about this. My hair currently goes as far down as my bra strap and could really use a hair cut, but Im far too scared.

ThreeLittleDucks YES! Great.

I feel a bit like an evangelistic preacher, converting people.

(Vivi, start speaking in tongues, it's good for business)

I have been lurking on this thread and am about to give myself a haircut, my hair is down to my arse and has completely lost any resemblance of a style it may have had once.

I hope this works

I still haven't lost any length off the back (even DC agree) The top and sides look good but I wanted to get rid of the length at the back too.

ok, hair is in pony, just going to watch the video again to make sure i'm doing it right

As long as they are sharp, not.

Don't use blunt scissors.

Boots and Superdrug do hair scissors from £5 upwards, if that helps ?

Notvery - any sharp, biggish scissors will do the job.
