My hair is driving me mad!!!!

Lol i have done it using advise given here. I twisted and chopped. It doesnt look tooo bad,at least i can see now!!! It really needs thinning out as very heavy but that i will not attempted. Thanks for all the tips everyone.

I've done it once and used the sharp scissors snipping up into it method. Also did the sides and it didn't turn out too badly.

I asked DH to cut the back of my hair as it was tickling my neck. Talk about bull in a china shop - to top it all off after the deed he announced I looked like Grayson Perry - it will take a while to recover from that comment!

Just do it. Nobody is going to notice - or care if it's not salon perfect.
I honestly hope that these few weeks without access to hairdressers, beauty therapists and nail bars will see a reduction in the level of vanity.

I have taken to clipping the long fringe over to the side. I don’t really suit it, but only DH sees it. I think this may be the year I stop having my hair coloured and take the plunge by letting it go grey. It will mean a very short cut though which I’m not sure about!

What a mean spirited comment hetty58!

How about a clip? Do you like your fringe or could you use it as chance to grow it out? I grew mine out after forty years with a fringe☺️

I cut mine after watching a YouTube video. As others have said, twist it round then cut the ends off. This gives a more feathered look.

I tie a scarf round my hair 1940s style. I have quite fine hair. I also use small claw clips to hold it back by twisting and clipping it. I am ok cutting front. Would never attempt back....my hairdresser showed me what I did once before when I tried. Never again...

I only cut my hair on holiday. Situation now dire as I was going on holiday just when lockdown started. I have crocheted some headbands. Thinking about shaving it off.

I did mine yesterday as driving me mad going in my eyes and cut it outside with wet comb and sharp scissors and hey presto no longer looking like a shaggy sheep dog and can see where I am going. Result!

I occasionally cut my fringe by doing as Wibby suggests - gathering it to a point and then gradually cutting the end off.

If there is an odd stray hair that you don't like the look of once you've done this, use nail clippers to snip it off.

I have not had problems using this method.

I just look in the mirror after I’ve washed my hair, get the hairdressing scissors and chip into the fringe, I don’t have a clue what I’m doing, nor do I care really, it’s the least of my worries as no ones going to look at me, it turned out ok, but I did have an idea if it didn’t I could start a new trend by using pinking shears!

Oh GabriellaG54 you are hilarious I love your posts ???

Yes I trim mine and colour it...just cut a little at a time when dry and then hold scissors vertically and snip into it a bit so it doesn’t looked chopped off!

I'm always having to trim mine, I do what others have said, cut into it a tiny bit at a time.
Last week I decided the rest of it needed a trim so I combed it all forward over my face and, with head hanging down I snipped about half an inch off. It looks ok and will have to do until I can see hairdresser again.
Not so successful with my highlights though, I now resemble Boris!

My hair is a mess. I usually have it cut and coloured every 4 weeks (free at my daughters salon) and now it’s straggly with long dark roots. It would be better if I were grey.
My daughter has offered to do my hair but I have refused as it is against lockdown rules.
Oh well, nobody much is seeing me and lots of us have messy hair.
My fringe isn’t too bad as it is swept to one side but looks ok clipped back. I’m not going to cut it myself.

There is a You Tube video showing how to cut a fringe- how about wearing a nice hairband or scarf.

It's not my fringe that bothers me, it's my roots!

Mine was long before the lock-in so I just parted it in the middle and pin it up, I quite like it may keep it like that

My kitchen scissors are looking very enticing at the moment. I am so pleased that I had my hair cut very short the last time I went to the hairdressers so it's not as bad as it might be, but I can see me taking my hair into my own hands.

U tube tutorials on fringe cutting or ‘bangs’ as it’s also commonly known. There are loads of them on there

I have a very light fringe , so cut it with my nail scissors, straggly, yes, I like that..
or let your fringe grow out?

Just cut upwards into it, all along, with sharp scissors. Never straight across. And while it's dry, never damp or wet. Might not be perfect but passable.

I snipped mine yesterday. Ran it through my first two fingers, then cut a bit off the end. I'm extremely tempted to try my layers, the back is awful, like straw! Building up my courage .... !
