Cheap and nicely homely way of shortening your hair or painfully style free oedipal disaster?

(i just got a snazzy accidental Townes Van Zandt style do from my mother there, so, right now, CLASSIC.)

I would say this depends entirely on the mother.

well, lets just say a standar issue mother with no formal training nor inclination towards hairdressing...

I would rather go for it myself. Too many issues with the moms. She may try to take out that latent, repressed anger and confusion about the whole "getting conceived even through a tied tube, obviously tied in order to stop this motherhood crap" business out of the coif, youknowimsayin?

I got this cool shirt. When I wear it, I'm the shit.

I'm really not that legit. My mom bought it.

My moms is pretty badass, tho I dunno if she'd even be innerested in doing the haircut thing in the first place.

Dud, my mother always made me look like buster brown - AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY.

Seriously, this isn't me, but it may as well be. This child has a much better haircut than I ever had though.

wow, you're right, but didn't nearly everyone have that haircut in the 70s?

If you're an indie kid, getting your hair cut by your Mam is classic until you're about seven, then dud until you're in college, then classic again as you realise the cardigan cred it gives you.

...that's what i was thinking. however is it the point where "cardigan cool" turns into "embarassing mummy's boy"?

― Robbie Lumsden (Wallace Stevens HQ), Monday, 24 May 2004 22:52 (twenty-two years ago)

That looks exactly like my bf as a child. It's creepy.

Hahaha. My mom used to cut my hair and my brother's hair sometimes. We hated it. She wasn't very smooth as a barber. I seem to remain getting my hair pulled (by dull scisors?), etc.

anybody ever have a Flobee??

Classic for me at present, in that I just ask my mom to trim off an inch or so whenever I visit home, which is every six months. Gets rid of the split ends and evens everything up, see.

My mum's a hairdresser, which meant I never paid for a haircut until I was about 22, so classic.

My mum used to cut my hair when I was about 4 or 5, but I hated it. She would try to cut my hair in the garden (to make less mess, and to make it "more fun" for me), but this always ended up with me running around the garden screaming, and her chasing after me.

Huge horrible scissor lines. dud dud dud!

Though not as dud as your Dad giving you a razor cut :-(

*tries desperately to put those memories back to wherever they were hiding*
