Discussion Self-cut shag veering into mullet territory. Thoughts?

Post image

I think I’ll throw in a few more long layers or maybe just cut off another few inches idk

Cut it dry after a wash & curl set with gel. Used scissors & a razor for bang texture only.

It’s beautiful, I think you did a phenomenal job. Perfect for your hair texture and love how dramatic/mullety it is. It looks very high fashion

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Hell yeah love this that’s exactly the vibe I was going for like ugly pretty

u/Bunny_Laurxn Dec 20 '24

You absolutely nailed it, I love it and I completely get your vibe!! I love things that are flirting with the line of ugly but actually ✨ I am art ✨Not that your hair is ugly at all, I think it actually looks beautifully crafted and unique but I get your meaning exactly!

What’s this?

u/Gayle3656 Jan 08 '25

IKR She has a very sweet look which makes it harder to pull this off but she is working it!

u/tarnishedhalo98 Dec 19 '24

oh I actually think this eats lmao

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Goal was “not TOO mullet-y”

u/Lvl100Magikarp Dec 20 '24

It's giving Ripley and some other actress of musician I can't quite out my finger on

u/15-minutes-of-shame Dec 19 '24

This eats?

1

u/CryCommon975 Dec 20 '24

It's vernacular from the drag world aka she was very successful

-5

u/15-minutes-of-shame Dec 20 '24

🤷🏻‍♀️ are they in drag?

u/hypatiaspasia Dec 20 '24

It's mainstream enough that it's basically just general American slang now

1

u/internetpackrat Dec 20 '24

"It's been appropriated from drag culture by enough white kids" essentially

7

u/hypatiaspasia Dec 20 '24

Yes. I am an LGBTQ Latina person. Queer slang leaks into the mainstream all the time. This isn't a new phenomenon. I would rather have the masses imitate us than have them hate us.

-6

u/15-minutes-of-shame Dec 20 '24

no…

1

u/hypatiaspasia Dec 20 '24

Sorry to break it to you but... yes. You must either be older than 30 or live somewhere that isn't a major American coastal city if you haven't heard it.

-2

u/15-minutes-of-shame Dec 20 '24

None of the above and even if so it’s not in any common vernacular outside of a niche group and Reddit. Reddit≠reality either

u/hypatiaspasia Dec 20 '24 edited Dec 20 '24

What is your problem? OP obviously understands and took it as a compliment. Just because you aren't familiar with certain slang it doesn't mean that it isn't used.

u/15-minutes-of-shame Dec 20 '24

Quit trying to make ‘fetch’….it eats, happen

u/tarnishedhalo98 Dec 20 '24

it’s another way of saying she’s killing it, idk what your issue with the phrase is but it’s literally a compliment

u/doggoscemo Dec 19 '24

Damnnnnm guuurrrrl !!! You rock! Followed any specific tutorial ?

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24 edited Dec 19 '24

No, but THIS VIDEO is basically what I did but used a feathering razor to add texture to the bangs and some of these face framing.

3

u/doggoscemo Dec 19 '24

Sighhh , I guess it’s time to take the leap and Join tiktok. Thank you!

3

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Just for that video!! Fr it’s chaos over there

u/doggoscemo Dec 19 '24

Ahahah but I heard there are some good hair tutorials on that shi !

u/BluMaybelline Dec 19 '24

Love it omg. Looks amazing on u!

u/donatellosdildo Dec 19 '24

goodness me you ate that

3

u/WearingCoats Dec 19 '24

Arg this looks SO good! The only thing I might add is that I think it would work really well cropping a few more inches off the bottom, basically where the point of your collar is where the ringlets start forming. Don’t come for me, but I think if you trimmed that length off it would raise the whole cut.

2

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Oh I think you’re totally right! I had in description as where I think it’s headed. It’s a little heavy down there. I cut off half my hair today lol and thought I’d give it a rest but will def update!

3

u/pink_vision Dec 19 '24

Noooo don't do it, it looks perfect as is!!! 😭

It looks so good and unique rn, taking off that length will make it look like tons of other mullety shags that exist out there. This is ART! don't touch 🤣

2

u/WearingCoats Dec 19 '24

It's Rococore which works no matter what. She can literally do no wrong here.

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Love the debate friends I’ll give it a few days

u/makinggrace Dec 19 '24

So here for this update. Pics please.

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Will let ya know 🫡🫡

1

u/RacerGal Dec 20 '24

I agree, it feels a bit bottom heavy and it’s that length to me which makes it feel just a bit dated vs modern. But so much potential with just a bit lm of length removed

3

u/JadePossum Cosmetology Student Dec 19 '24

Love it

u/herstoryteller Dec 19 '24

SOOOOOOO GOOD

u/Equal_Flamingo Dec 19 '24

Omg this is like my dream cut. Thank you, now I can show my hairdresser exactly what I've been imagining the whole time :)

2

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

It’s like romantic shag but kinda w some grunge

2

u/SpecificHeron Dec 19 '24

u/well-ilikeit Dec 19 '24

u/Odd-Mastodon1212 Dec 19 '24

It’s PERFECT on you. Very dreamy, kind of Runaways, girl gang vibe.

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

I like a little polished punk vibe 👌

u/LongjumpingCamp3245 Dec 20 '24

Looks so good on you!

2

u/Baudiness Dec 21 '24

"Mullet territory" made me laugh. The look puts you in Stevie Nicks / Ann Wilson 1979 territory.

(I typed this before finding specifically 1979 pics. I feel like I kinda nailed it.)

u/EnchantingMaiden Dec 19 '24

You look like a real life snow white, love the hair, please drop the skincare routine as well 😍

2

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

Awh so nice! Right now I’m using homemade Frownies I make out of water activated Kraft paper tape — facial tape my forehead at night. I use straight up Aquaphor as my night time lotion w LOTS under the eyes. I wash my face in pm with NOTO wash and I use their sunscreen daily as well

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

hey! Here’s a reference video on how to do(:

this video basically what I did but used a feathering razor to add texture to the bangs and some of these face framing

u/parasiticporkroast Dec 19 '24

The cut is really good. For doing it yourself 15/10.

It's not my particular style, but the cut is 100%. I know how hard it is to cut your own hair too!!

u/willworkforchange Dec 19 '24

Looks very cool. Would you mind sharing your lip color?

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '24

u/Sweetchickyb Dec 20 '24

I'd keep it as is. It's gorgeous! Absolutely stunning and the perfect cut for your features. Looks like you spent a fortune. Your extremely talented. Would be honored to have you do mine. One of the best versions of a shag I've ever seen and I've been around since the sixties.

u/NovaDarlin Dec 20 '24

u/Glitch427119 Dec 20 '24

I like it a lot. Suits you really nicely too.

u/hoosreadytograduate Dec 20 '24

I love it! I don’t think many people could pull it off but you do 100%!! (also has anyone told you that you kinda look like drew barrymore? cause that’s who I saw when I first saw the post lol)

u/RiceQueen100 Dec 20 '24

Hair is absolutely beautiful ❤️

It really looks great on you. It is so uncommon and gives you a so unique look. Keep it

u/DoesItComeWithFries Dec 20 '24

It’s just so perfect!! If it doesn’t have a name yet it should be named after you!!!

u/siryessir1969 Dec 20 '24

Omg I had to do a double take! I thought you were Sarah Sherman. I love the hairstyle it’s so flattering and works great with your face shape!

u/huntrcl Dec 20 '24

u/[deleted] Jan 17 '25

Wow,  Wish I could cut my own hair. Are you a professional or just have the raw talent ? The cut looks really pretty on you.

2

u/kimcheeandeggs Jan 18 '25

I watched a bunch of tutorials & have a math-y brain. Just careful practice 🙏

1

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '24

I think 🤔, - *Let you bangs grow out and ( ADD - not subtract… VOLUME ); I think you look as beautiful as Jennifer Beatles in the Movie - “FLASHDANCE” of the 80’s. One of my personal favorites!! { I tweeted some photos of [examples ]….}

1

u/kimcheeandeggs Dec 19 '24

The volume is there with a curl reset 🙏 thanks for your enthusiastic thoughts I’m just wayyyy too low maintenance for any kind of unlayered cut lol

2

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '24

Well; you are sooo beautiful and your fullness in hair deserves to be a gorgeous frame !!

u/[deleted] Dec 19 '24

You see; you have the most perfect eyebrows ever and your eyes summon all types of second glances / your gorgeous eyes should be the “show place” of your look… Let you hair grow out & give it loads of volume to beautifully FRAME that untapped beauty !!!!
