What is a mum cut?

[saltnpepa]

Inspired by the other thread on long hair vs short hair, I'm wondering what a mum cut is? Pictures please!

I think its subjective, but for me....

Short spikey at the back, slicked down at the front and in a "funky" colour like red/burgundy a dye job black or stripey blonde/red highlights. Anything a symmetrical and a tilted Bob.

This are my ideas of a mum cut!

I thought it was just a bob, could be wrong though!

Shoulder-length bob that can be scraped up easily

I think Nicola sturgeon is a good example of a mum cut.

what Nilbyname said, that is a bit of a Gran cut around my way too.

For me I think it's like a grown out bob that hangs around your face v.mumsy

The spiky crown one is spot on!

Yes to the spiky crown one too. Lots of them at our school gates.

Exactly what Nilby posted. I saw a group on a night out recently every single one of them had that same cut complete with the mahogany colour. I think it spreads.

It's different to a 'mumsy' haircut imo. That can be various things. The Mum haircut is the one is that photo.

Ugh I feel mean now. It does suit some people but I do think of it as the Mum cut.

It's a very dated cut imo

I think pixie cuts are quite Mumsy. Everyone always imagines Halle Berry or Charlize Theron but the reality is more Denise Welsh or Janice Battersby.

scarlet that made me lol!

This is the style a lot of hairdressers want you to have if you are in your forties so for me this is the mum cut.

I see more of the Liz Hurley big blow dry - a bit dated now.

east that's me I think- mines based on Kate Middleton long wavy dark hair- am I mumsy (tell me honestly I can take it!)

No I think the Kate cut is not mumsy at all because it's long & versatile. It's the short cut pictured above. You know - I am married now, kids, need to be practical, don't have the time for regular blow drys/styles so I'll just cut it all off & I won't have to worry about it.

Hence the "Mum cut"otherwise all hair would be mum cuts!

To me it's a slob (shoulder bob). Tie back able but ok down without styling. Bit boring.

Vitriolic thread. Still, bet you all feel much better for slagging off other women

Not slagging off other women though? Just describing a haircut I actually have right now that isn't that cool but is practical.

So, the mum cut is short but might be long or spiky or blow dried?!

just wanting to avoid slumping into mum style, nastiness is in your interpretation.
