Went to see mum on Sunday and it turned out that my sister and I had both given her the same Mother's day card which said "Hand's up if your mum thinks she's a hairdresser" and had a picture of a cute little girl with the same awful haircut that we wore until we were old enough to get Saturday jobs and pay to go to the hairdresser ourselves.
Mum would put a plastic bowl over our heads every so often and trim around the edges leaving us with a very un-attractive pudding bowl haircut. That was bad but things got far worse when someone suggested she could achieve the same result using selotape. Of course mum with the scissors was never particularly accurate and so instead of the straight line around the bowl we got very crooked and very short fringes where after each attempt she cut away more of the selotape as well as our hair.
When our hair got too long she would put them in bunches, the parting always slightly wonky and I can still feel the excruciating pain at bed time when those cheap elastic bands were ripped from our hair like plasters.
