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!

I cut mine dry. Risk of too much cut if wet.

MrsDeeBee I've gorn maad with the power.

Just put my hair back in a pony tail and the striaght edge I just cut has gone

This thread is gripping!

I so want to have a go but I don't think my hair is long enough

uh oh - its all gone awry - see this is what'd happen to me....

mrsDb, the stabby bit is to tidy them up and make them less chunky though, not to put layers in, the actual first cut does that?

I have resorted to the MN haircut and I like it and had a hairdresser friend who knew I was wanting it cut at the posh salon she goes to asking if had been there

We're You're not at risk of being sued are you ?

Great stuff, Fizzy!

Right, taken off about 3/4 inch. Time for stabby stabby. This is the bit I am most nervous of. Any tips?

Thanks DeeBee.

Although I should add when I first did it I buggered it up somewhat and ended up having to have a full fringe again after I had been growing it out for the last year but its' ok now

Yes, the stabby bit is to sort of 'feather' the layers, I think ?

The pony tail does need to be right at the top of forehead really. Iyswim ?

On the video, the man said look for any straight lines and cut into them?

Nooo Foof Don't say that when I'm in the middle of doing it!

Stick

Just do it quickly and not too far in !

stop bloody typing woman and concentrate on your stabby stabby

Fuck it, I am pouring myself a glass of wine whilst I consider the best stabby stabby method.

surely stabby stabby + wine = wonky wonky?

Save it for afterwards!

Do I cut upwards?

stick Just bunch it in your hand in dive into it with little snips, moving your scissors all the time. Do it for about 10-15 snips then release and see how it looks, if there are still obvios layers then bunch it back and have another go

@ wonky wonky

up towards the booble

Stick

You just have to make little cut movements in the end of the pony tail, not too far in, it's kind of hard to explain, especially as you are doing it 'upside down' too.

I feel your fear, but be brave !

Just did it!!

Looks nice!
Was mid-back, now about 6 inches shorter, lovely layers round face!
