Ended up taking a huge chunk out the side of her head. It was a massacre. There were tears and panic attacks, it was pretty full on and sucked to see her so upset.

I did the deed, my daughter told her she looks bad-ass, like Ripley and she's finally come around to how great she looks with a shaved heid.

Anyone got any horror haircut stories I can use to cheer her up? Cheers!

I've been cutting my own hair for nearly 20 years at this point. I've seen everything from unintentional chunks ripped out to weirdly blunt shelf-like layers to one side somehow ending up about four inches longer than other to the worst offender of all...that time I thought I might suit a fringe.

But you know what, I look back on photos from those times and laugh at the memories. It's hair, it grows back, and not many women ever even find out whether we can pull off a buzzcut so congrats to your wife because the Ripley look is cool af.

She's only been cutting her own hair since the pandemic, and she's gotten pretty decent at it. Usually, that is! I even let her cut my flowing locks a few weeks ago and I'm well chuffed with the results.

Nice! Saves a ton of money apart from anything else, plus it's fun. Let her know how good she looks (because I'm sure she does) and just treat it like a fun opportunity to experiment with styles as it grows back out. Assuming she doesn't get attached to it like this, of course!
