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!

Thanks heavens - I thought we'd lost Stick there. Was it really quite long to start with then?

delilahbelle · 10/02/2012 17:13

It's like the badge of a secret society - the mumsnet haircut

Stick

I am Confused. It doesn't make sense that you haven't lost any off the back ?

Only thing would be to maybe put back into equal sides and cut a bit off ?

We need photo's of all this who have done it. ALL OF YOU!!!

LadyWellian · 10/02/2012 17:19

Stick that was what I was going to suggest. Logically, the further forward the ponytail, the further down the hair from the back you will begin cuttung. So further back = more off the back. That was why I diverged from the script and did mine in reverse - I wanted length off the back rather than the front and sides.

KateUnrulyBush · 10/02/2012 17:19

Oh my GOOD GOD! I leave you lot alone to go out and earn a crust and what do you do? Hmm?

START PLAYING WITH SCISSORS!!!!

Look at the state of this place! Hair everywhere!

Psammead you are grounded. And the rest of you goaders ought to be ashamed of yourselves... You are all very norty!

StickAForkInMeImDone · 10/02/2012 17:19
