War of the clippers... or... Clan of the chrome dome.

[Vyris]

Well, it all started innocent enough. Today we decided to do some spring cleaning, clean clean clean. Dinner at Gandma's house and back home. Get home and decide well, since we're doing the spring thing today, time for the boys spring haircuts.

I bust out the clippers, and immediately things go quite a bit wrong. The first swipe on my oldest sons head and the spacer that determines thier future hair length pops off and I plow a furrow of my sons curly locks off onto the floor... whoops.

Well, what follows is a typical six year olds reaction to seeing a rather long, pasty-scalp swath on the top and middle of his har, and the only way to get him to feel any better about this wonderfull new buzz job he was getting was to promise him that his brother and myself were going to have the same haircut... and I had to give him my favorite ball cap to wear to school.

Here are the damages - My daughter did not go under the clippers... she's just a ham and wouldn't take "no" for an answer once she saw the camera come out.

Hey! Lookin great!

Now you just gotta shave "ICE" or something equally hip into the back.  The 80's are here to stay!

Heh, my dad was in the military for twenty years, I was around for fourteen of em, and I've had a military flat top the whole time.

Does it say "Ice" on the back?

[minerva]

Ha.
I've never seen my dad without a flat top. My brothers wore their hair like that until their teens as well

Nice Family !

This same thing happened to me. My wife was giving my slightly thinning locks a trim with the clippers, and not realising that the little spacer had slipped off, mowed great swathes through my hair. Our son who was five at the time looks at me, then at mum and says; "Why has daddy got a big hole in his hair?".  Realising what had happened, my wife stopped, but sadly my head was beyond help. So it was off with the rest, with each of the kids taking a turn to scalp dad. Luckily it was the start of the UKs hottest summer in recorded history, so it was not greatly missed.

Those clippers sure are treacherous.

my dad use to mess up so much with my hair
i dont think he cut it right once out of the probably 5 times a yr for 14 yrs tha he did it

[feniox]

This isn't really related to the current topic of accidental hairdressing, but I thought I'd make it known that I gave up on haircuts long ago. Here's a pic of me taken from my band site, I think I should be crowned layonara's longest haired male

To all the fellow chrome domes out there... I salute you!
