Mum in hysterics as haircut fail has daughter 'looking like Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber'

A Wiltshire mum couldn't hold in her laughter in after her husband gave their daughter a haircut that went very wrong.

Tyre fitter Daniel Ferguson, 33, tried to do his wife Kayleigh, 32, a 'favour' by chopping five-year-old daughter Faye's fringe - a move which, according to Kayleigh, failed and made her look like Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber.

Daniel, who lives at home with his family in Swindon, used kitchen scissors to cut Faye's hair - soon realising he definitely wasn't cut out to be a hairdresser.

Carer Kayleigh returned from work to find her daughter's hair had been hacked at by her husband - but luckily she found it hilarious.

"At the time, we were renovating the house and I was super busy," she said.

"I remember Faye's fringe was long and getting in her eyes so I kept saying I will trim it but didn't get around to it.

"I popped out to get some more house stuff and Daniel decided to do me a favour and cut it himself.

"But he pulled more hair forward and overdid it. He didn't even realise it was bad until I got home. I immediately started laughing otherwise I would have cried.

"Usually, I cut all of our children Emma, 14, Joshua, ten and Faye, now five, hair and I have professional hairdressing scissors.

"But Daniel used our kitchen scissors so it was quite a blunt cut. She had a square face for a while. However, Daniel thought it was fine and Faye thought it was funny at first.

"But then I showed him the comments on Facebook and he realised he did a poor job. We are a jokey family so I wasn't angry."

The mum-of-three admitted no one actually compared her daughter to Jim Carrey in Dumb & Dumber, but said they probably thought it.

"We do have a giggle at the photos but Daniel now knows he is banned from cutting their hair," Kayleigh added.

She joked that Faye reminds him not to pick up the scissors following the incident.
