Mullet Mommy
Why don't I ever learn? I continue to commit the cardinal sins of hair cutting:
1. Cutting my hair myself
2. Late at night
3. When I'm in a bad mood
4. Attempting bangs
Ten days ago I decided to give myself a cute summer "do" so I took out the scissors. A few chunks here, some short, trendy bangs there, maybe another chunk here to balance out that chunk...shoot - are those bangs straight? A trim across the ears - no, not that much! The bangs are looking kind of short, maybe go shorter so it looks like it was on purpose?
Half hour later, the final result was a mullet fiasco. I shrieked, ran to my three year old's dress up box, and found a huge, checkered scarf to wrap around the damage. Ten days later, that scarf has only come off for showers. If anyone has any great recommendations for hair growing potions, please send them my way.
On the upside, I did find this great knit hat maker and custom ordered a cap I can wear all summer so my three year old can have her dress-ups back. I've never been a hat-person but then again, I've never been a mullet person either. My hat should be ready soon and I'll spend the rest of this Los Angeles summer sweating out my mistake in style.
Spike, please feel free to put all the scissors away on high shelves so I can't reach them next time I feel like giving myself a makeover.

I had a roommate in college who cut her own hair by grabbing fistfuls and chopping whatever was left. It was horrifyingly fascinating to watch. She insisted that I needed to cut my (then waist-length) hair to "get rid of all the bad energy" it harbored. I think she was volunteering to be my new hairdresser.
ALso I would see a professional. A talented hairdresser can do wonders with mishaps.
And you should see a professional and get it fixed. You'll be glad you did.
I agree on the pictures and the professional.
She inspriational in many ways but her hair is not one of them.
