It’s almost impossible to get a haircut as a mum of 2, especially under Covid-19 lockdown period. My hair has grown so long over the past few months, and any new mums would know that babies love clinging onto them for some reason.
I had no choice but to tie my hair into a bun day and night, as a result, my hair was damaged with split ends and tangled like fur balls. Out of desperation, I tried a DIY quick fix haircut at home this morning and was pleasantly surprised with how well it turned out.
Well, of course you can’t compare it to a haircut from the salon, but it’s good enough for mums who will just end up tying our hair into a bun anyways.
I recorded a video afterwards to demonstrate the exact steps I took to cut my own hair with a 2 minutes timer – sadly, that’s usually how long I can put my 3 months old down.
All You Need Is:
- a pair of scissors
- a hairbrush
- a few hairbands
- a mirror
4 easy steps to cut your own hair at home in just under 2 minutes!
