Thoughts on this?

I honestly don't see much of a difference. All I could see was that it looks like her hair is in pretty bad shape.

Thoughts...it looks in bad condition!

I'd never do this myself. It would scare the life out of me.

This is how I cut my own hair. It gives layers and that's basically why I use this method rather than Feye's. It's not that big of a deal. Then again, I have enough length to play around with.


My last trim (about 2 weeks ago) took me from tailbone to just above buttcrack.

It's okay - I've seen this way to cut hair before.

In fact - I used to cut layers into my hair that way a few years ago!

It doesn't look amazing on her but, hey, it's a recession.

It does look in horrible condition though... !

What confuses me is the part where she says, "it’s more Suzi Quattro than Chrissie Hynde," when it actually makes her look more like Chrissie Hynde! I used to have that EXACT cut, and people were constantly telling me that I looked like her.

What bugs me is that he says:

The equipment you need is simple: an elastic hair tie, a pair of scissors, and a spare half hour.
‘Kitchen scissors will do as well as hairdressing scissors,’ says Lee Stafford. ‘With practice, you can do this cut in five minutes but when you’re learning, you will want to take your time, so allow half an hour.’



There's no way I'm hacking at my hair with kitchen scissors.

I honestly don't see how it's in bad condition?? Her hair, I mean.. it just looks a bit frizzy to me, that is all? :s I mean, if her hair is in bad condition, I don't even want to know how bad mine is! :P

Edit: okay okay it could use a bit of oil or conditioner, but it doesn't look that bad on the pictures where she's actually cutting it? :P

urgh the Daily Fail strikes again.
Personally I'm not brave enough to try that and I don't want layers anyway. The only bit I have issues with is telling people they can use kitchen scissors on their hair. I firmly believe that scissors should only be used for the job you brought them for, so hair scissors just for hair, sewing scissors for fabric etc. That way you know the scissors are sharp enough!

I couldn't really follow when she stuck the scissor into the ponytail and started randomly snipping. I would be nervous to try this.
