Woman left with Dumb and Dumber haircut after trusting boyfriend to trim fringe

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that if you allow someone who is not a qualified hairdresser to cut your locks, you'll probably be unhappy with the result.

However it's also true that you might be equally as unhappy with the chop if you pay a professional to do it.

So essentially, what we can surmise is that getting a haircut is always a bit of a risk.

One woman recently moved to a new area and wasn't sure where to go for a trim, so she decided to ask her boyfriend for a little help.

Amyleigh Weaver, 21, let her partner cut her fringe with an electric razor and it's fair to say it did not end well for her.

Amyleigh, a make-up artist from Halifax, was left looking like a character from the film Dumb and Dumber when Francis Plaka was done with the cut.

She claims she had trusted the 20-year-old to do her hair because he'd seemed "very confident" in his ability to do it.

But when he put the razor down and simply said the word "sorry", she knew she'd made a big mistake.

She recalled the awkward incident, saying: "I've just moved to the area so I didn't know where I should get my hair done.

"But my hair was getting long so I knew something had to be done.

"I only wanted my fringe done, so I decided that my boyfriend should cut my fringe until I could go to a proper hairdresser."

She continued: "This was the first time he ever cut my hair. He seemed very confident in doing so and I trusted him.

"He got the electric razor and then started to cut away. I told him what to do and I let him get on with it. After he was done, he just looked at me and said sorry.

"I ran to the bathroom mirror where I realised everything had gone wrong. I went mental when I saw my fringe."

Amyleigh has since calmed down about the whole thing and decided to just laugh it off.

She's also vowed to never let her boyfriend touch her hair again.

"I would not recommend any other girls let their boyfriend cut their hair, as it will probably all go wrong unless he is a hairdresser.

"I gave myself a good laugh though, it is hard not to see the funny side of it."

She added: "My boyfriend felt really guilty about it. I regret letting him do it, but at the end of the day it is just hair and it will grow out.
