20+ Hilarious Home Haircut Attempts That Have People Cracking Up

For most people, getting a haircut is a pretty mindless task; you make an appointment, climb into the chair, and let your favorite barber or stylist get to work. Actually cutting your own hair is a different story. When you're the one holding the scissors, it takes a trained eye and a steady hand to avoid major mistakes. These folks learned that lesson the hard way. While daring to take the clippers to your scalp might be convenient, it's also a recipe for disaster...

Follow The Line

This guy tried a viral strategy some swear by for a DIY fade haircut by using a length of twine as his guide. But as soon as he started hacking away with those clippers, all intentions to follow the line flew right out the window. Somehow he sheared off a giant chunk of hair way too high on his head!

Pony Chop

With two pigtails, a pair of kitchen scissors, and a lot of nerve, you too can chop your hair into a really unpredictable bob! This poor girl attempted to recreate an easy at-home blunt bob tutorial and ended up with a cascading uneven project that even a hairstylist might have trouble fixing.

Business In The Back

Under normal circumstances, mullets are clean-cut in the front and a bit more freestyle in the back. This kid, however, has switched things up! What a trendsetter. Well, that's what his mom is trying to convince him of, anyway.

Unlucky Horseshoe

Men aren't the only ones getting unfortunate home haircuts, though. This woman, it seems, learned a hard lesson about skipping a trip to the salon. Clearly, you shouldn't trust anyone other than a trained professional to cut in a straight line.
