Hair...

[seeker]

If I pulled my hair up into a high pony tail then chopped it off what would happen? It's one length half way down my back and slightly wavy now.

you would look a fright!

good grief no don't do it!

you would end up with a very messy short hair cut! i would say this is probably not a great idea

are you bored?

if you want your hair cut, go to a hairdressers fgs

may I recommend having it all lopped off, I did last November and it is fab

DO NOT DO THIS!!

I know - I was so tempted in the bathroom just now and I phoned my mother and she said "Well, there's only one way to find out!" (Brisk, my mum is!). I need people to tell me not to.

Does anybody cut their own hair?

go on do it

best to pull the hair forward and chop a little bit off

go on go on go on

it's only hair!

Hello, Mum - I didn't know you were a mumsnetter!

What's the worst thing that can happen?

You'll have slightly shorter hair...tis all one length anywya...easy peasy.

Why not add some layers?

look here are the instructions.
Now go and get on with it.

I think these instructions are what you had in mind

You go first.....Oh damn I really want to do it now!

Would nail scissors do?

I have done it before,but my hair is too short now.

no you need proper ones

boots sell them

I saw someone do this once on TV. It looked great. I was too chicken to try it myself though.

I will be watching this thread peeping out between my hands .

You are very brave.

OK - shall I buy some scissors this afternoon and do it? All those in favour say "aye"

aye

Madness!

choppy bob we used to have a stylist in a salon i worked in do this but he was highly skilled and it was the 80s

why would you do this?

".....and it was the 80s...."

Hmm - that's made me stop and think a bit....

i liked 'it was teh 80's'

That programme I saw was from the 80's too. Don't want to put you off though....
