I have just performed the Mumsnet haircut on myself and...

....it actually looks fab! I took about 5 inches off & may go back for a few more later tonight! In a moment of madness i though to myself, you know what let's do this! how bad can it be?! I am so pleased with it. :)

I have done this on Saturday, looks good, but i will see what my hairdresser will have to say on my next visit. :)

I would imagine your hairdresser will tut disdainfully and recommend you never take to the scissors again.

Self preservation really.

I diid my dd's hair and it was good except the back ended up longer than I wanted so maybe I should have done it in two halves?

What is the mn haircut?

I've been thinking of doing this. I haven't been to the hairdressers for over a year and really ought to do something.

I regularly do this, but I have thick curly hair and it is very forgiving as long as I don't go shorter than shoulder length. Because there are no poker straight lines it never looks bad. And I save £20 a time. Nothing to some of you I'm sure, but a nice little sum for me nontheless.

My friend does this on her long, thick, wavy hair and it looks lovely. It's going to save her a fortune. Am v jealous, it would not work on my hair
