Shower Hack Job
I finally got fed up with my hair this morning in the shower and attacked it with the pair of rusty, bluntened scissors we keep in the laundry (near our 2nd shower).
Seriously.
And it’s not the first time I’ve done this.
I’d been meaning to go to the hairdresser’s for weeks, but hadn’t had the energy, what with starting some new anxiety medication and a bonus course of antibiotics.
Plus I haven’t had a hairdresser I’m happy with for years. I usually just go into the nearest one on the spur-of-the-moment.
I was too terrified to look in the mirror for over an hour.
There was a huge clump of hair in the bottom of the shower recess.
What would WonderHubby say?
What would my mother say? (yes, I know I’m over 30, but she still scares me sometimes)
Amazingly, it didn’t turn out too badly.
Thank GOD.
I’m actually feeling quite happy with the result, considering. (I’ve definitely had worse ‘dos’.)
WonderHubby likes it, too.
My mother hasn’t seen it yet, though.
I’m really going to try really hard not to do this ever again.
Really.
What do you think?
Please be honest…
Not bad! I haven’t been to a hair salon for more than a year now. There were countless times I’m tempted to chop my hair off but I wasn’t able to find the scissors! My mom (who lives with us) maybe knows what I’m going to do so she hid them!

lol… Well if you ever do get tempted (and are able to find the scissors), listen to the voice of experience here:
Layered do’s are easier.
You just hang your head over the sink and try to make it all the same length.
Once you stand up properly, it’ll be pretty even.
And with layers, it’s supposed to look uneven.
A bit, anyway…
Maybe I should give lessons?
It’s not so bad. You did a pretty good job.
I just love the fact that you just did it! I have thought about it, but always been to chicken. PQ

Thanks Melissa. I’m just hoping the back looks okay, too!
Hey Nicole, it’s nothing to do with not being chicken!
More like stressed and overly~impulsive.
Plus it’s the middle weekend of school holidays, which go for 2wks.
It’s better than hacking at the kids. And fewer blood stains.
Lots fine to me … but you might need a mirror behind to see if the back is straight.
I have been tempted a few times to lop my locks too … bravo you.

I love it! You can come do mine! I don’t think I would have the guts to take the scissors to it all alone.

Wow! Thank you all for your lovely comments.
Trish ~ WonderHubby checked the back for me and pronounced it ‘fine’. I think I’ll still get a second opinion from my mother, though. Men don’t always have the same standards for ‘fine’…
Kate ~ I’ve never thought of myself as ‘brave’… More like psychotic, perhaps.
Hallie ~ Well, I’m thinking about publishing a how~to on DIY haircuts. Might be a bestseller…lol
this is how i always cut my hair!!
tie it back in a ponytail, and saw through!!
i think it looks great, and apparently this is how the french do it too!
tre chic.
