I’m so relieved her hair looks lovely – I’d have felt horribly responsible otherwise! And the French haircutting story *is* a great one. Well done Mrs Sassoon.

Oh Vonnie, this made me chuckle a little.

I *so* know where you are coming from. I completely messed up when trimming Amy’s fringe, it’s still far to short now after weeks of regrowth.

Never ever again I say!

My Mum decided to give me a fringe, after finding a photo of my aunt (after whom I was named). She cut it with the blunt kitchen scissors and it was about half an inch long by the time she got it straight!!

Looks fab, very sophisticated! Jamie has had adult hair from when he was born and just before Steven and I got hitched I took J to a friend’s who had clippers and she gave him such a short buzz he looks like a tiny thug in our wedding pictures….

ahaha that’s amazing. Poor Findlay known as the Sweeney Todd of holiday camp…

I did once cut my own hair and one side was above the ear the other kind cheek length and I’d left the back. I did trim my fringe down to the scalp though.

In fairness I was 4.

Cannot believe you blamed Findlay! That is hilarious, and why I love you xx

I’ve wanted a pair of thinning scissors for ages, they’re magical!
Erica’s hair looks great, I can cut my own hair too but would be completely lost if I had to do a cropped style like you tried on Nairn.
Think of the money you’d save though! Practise, practise, practise (it’ll grow back).

Oh this made me laugh! I’ve had child hair cutting problems before myself. My son, when he was a toddler was petrified of hairdressers. The noise of the hairdryers used to upset him so I had to bundle him in under my arm and let the woman use the clippers all over and then covered in hair and tears I’d carry him home again. That worked fine until he got too heavy! I got the clippers and thought I’d have a go myself and made the first cut and…….I was holding them upside down and it went straight to his scalp! The only other option was to give him a Grade 0 all over and buy him a bandanna that he wore all summer. I’ve never touched his hair since and he is 9 now.

Aw Erica’s hair looks fab, it really suits her

I cut my lot’s hair but it’s basically just a straight line all the way round for my little girl and my boys I do the back of the neck and around the ears. I use thinning scissors on my littlest boy so he’s still got the length and my older boy has his hair done with clippers.

Thinning scissors are great cos it’s harder to tell where the cut was made in a lock of hair so it looks less unprofessional >.<
