Thank you MNers, I have just cut my own hair and it looks

[JackBauer]

frigging awesome!

I used a method from this thread and then something similar to trim the back.
I did have same length below shoulder hair and now it is all layered and light and pretty.
And it took 10 minutes in the kitchen with a brush, hairband and some scissors!

awww thats lovely jeanpoole! glad you had a good day! dd2 has been getting better at walking holding hand too, seems so grown up bless! dd1 always used to be a bit mad so we had to have her on reins a lot but dd2 is much calmer!
i dont think you moan a lot on here btw

mp
yeah it seems really grown up walking instead of being in the buggy!
i like your cakes on your profile.
are you into cooking?

If I have missed you, add yourself

For those who wonder about the fringe thing the layers at teh front of mine hits my chin, so not really a fringe. Have a looka t the pics I posted at teh top to see, I cut it about 3-4 inches from my head in the ponytail.

well i used to like baking cakes and stuff but then when i had the girls i stopped and never seemed to have enough time to do it but i have just started getting into it again, im not very good though its very basic the stuff i do lol!!

i dont know why ive developed the strange habit of photographing fairy cakes and jam tarts but they seem to be gone so soon after making them in my house!
plus it gives me something to put on my profilepage as i am paranoid about putting pics of myself or the children on the internet for some reason

So, all you ladies wodnering whether to do it, that is 38 Mner's and their daughters who have done this, and no tears yet!

jackbauer i cant believe how many there are its quite amazing, really taking mn by storm isnt it

if you DON'T want a fringe do what i did....put the ponytail in eth same place as on the vid (ie top of your head and use another bobble to keep the hair together just above where you will cut.

If you are really bothered about where the layers go then wet your hair up to where you want the highest layer to go (totally robbed that from someone further down the thread!)

(sorry for getting in middle fo chat)

mp,i esp like the look of the big one on the top
i'm posting pics on here tomorrow as im making Meringue swans, or should i say i'm going to try to.

i will watch out for that then!
dd 's are just getting to the age where they like to 'help' me make cakes! they find it all quite funny!

MoM please could you clarify the wetting hair bit? thanks...

ok cool, i'll look you up

will try!!

SMS the front of mine hits around my chin so not really a fringe. I did wet a bit of my hair up to the shortest I wanted it before I put it in the ponytail so I knew where to cut it.

Plagiarism!

Will this method work for your minge do you think?

I know mammap! I only started this thread so everyone could tell me how fantastic I looked, I didn't expect everyone esle to steal my thunder

I definately do not want to see pics of that before and after!

OK, I've done it too. Can't really see the difference as I wore my hair curly today but I'll straighten it tomorrow and see what's what. My hair is a bit shorter and looks a lot thicker now so am optimistic. At the very worst I've learned how to trim my own hair so I don't have to beg my mother any more!

"Here is my minge before, note the bedraggled edges and split ends - and here is my minge after, all layered, with a fringe and looking fab!"

Ooh, 39!

"Note also my tastefully layerd armpit hair, going for the full lentil weavery effect'

Is that a dare...

MN minge, that is...

Where do you tie the ponytail? At the front top or the front bottom?

Mine's a disaster! I did a ponytail at the front, then one on top of my head but my layers are really stepped and i'd still like more length off it. Don't think i spent enough time cutting into it (and couldn't really see what i was doing properly) - think i'll have another go, or get DH to try and tidy it

The cutting in is the important bit, don't think about it or try and plan it just snip away!
