[@miadarby3339]

I still love this. Now this is what you call good lockdown entertainment. But the end result is pretty nice. The Length really suits you x

[@victoriarussell2600]

My favourite part is that by saying "point, point, point" as you snip away it somehow miraculously makes that point cutting!!!!!

[@marysaifuku9868]

Ruth, you crack me up! You’re funny and smart and your hair looks awesome even after cutting it with children’s scissors! Thanks for the laughs. 🤭🤣

[@SandraSallin]

Loved this. The problem is that you would be beautiful with a bag over your hair.

[@RuthCrilly]

AH, thanks Sandra, you're too kind!

[@SandraSallin]

And you’re too funny.

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Brad Mondo’s coming for you 🤣

[@lifewithanegg7666]

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in ages. You were literally hacking at it, were you sober?

[@RuthCrilly]

Unfortunately yes!

[@Akira-fc3qp]

"I dont know what takes you so long when you cut my hair" *looks at crazy uneven hair* OMG Ruth, really, thank you for being so relatable - even with your superior beauty. You are really a star.

[@dawn7617]

Thanks Ruth, this is the best laugh I've had all week! 😂 I think you've done a pretty good job though 👍 xx

[@halfamo2422]

Going to keep coming back to this whenever I'm low. Hilarious.

[@krazykbrooks6208]

Noooooooooo!😱 early learning centre scissors 😱 I also had moment of lockdown madness and cut my own hair....then my adult sons .....and then the dog!! Even the hedge got a trim🤣

[@emilylouise158]

I didnt think I could love you anymore that I already did...but my god this is gold! ❤

[@paulineballam5945]

That was ..... so good and you’re so brave Ruth.. actually I think it turned out pretty well considering the early learning scissors 😅. I had to cut my husbands hair, horrific is all I can say, I was sweating, no surprise with all the orders I was getting, “ make sure it’s even ! “ etc.. then I had to do my son , his neck was like a rubber band and wouldn’t keep still !!! My turn now 😱.. you look fab Ruth , not sure I will. Pauline xx

[@kellie_y]

You're a brave lady! I would have panicked mid-way through because I'm a weeny 😆😉 Your hair looks great!

[@tammygun1]

You should have a stand up show :) This was brilliant and the result looks good - a kind of edgy long bob! I cut my hair four years ago using the 'unicorn' method... for gawds sake no-one ever should try this as I'm still trying to grow out the mess I made! Thank you for you Ruth!

[@kirstenrubberducky]

Me at the beginning of the video: Ah, good, I've been thinking I need a trim.... Me once the hacking starts: Nope. Nopity nope nope. Nope. Ruth this is comedy gold and it's just one of the reasons we love you. x

[@ElizabethYateshair]

Oh my god🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 this why I love your videos! Your sense of humor!!! I love you !

[@thebirchtree8871]

Ruth!!! 😂 this was hilarious to watch. Honestly, you could get away with anything. You made this “uneven “ cut look chic 💇‍♀️💁‍♀️. Well done you for even having the guts to try. 👏.

[@vky3962]

The first thing that has made laugh out loud since we began lockdown in March😆 You still manage to rock a ELC scissor cut though ❤ xx

[@laraven9759]

Made me chuckle Ruth, it's not that bad and as you say it's only hair...it'll grow... very brave you just went for it with your ELC scissors..lol x

[@iheartroxierae]

Hilarious!! Will be watching this on an endless loop for awhile. The bleeped portions are priceless.

[@strawberry1025]

LOL....it came out very well Ruth! I on the other hand gave myself a lockdown mullet while attempting layers.

[@elizebethjames]

My husband did mine and I ended up with the best bob I’ve ever had! Luckily I have natural waves, so it is fairly forgiving. Ten inches off and now sits on my shoulders like a dream. We did use hairdressing scissors though, lol Ruth

[@jokeaerts2495]

I have watched this four times, I literally could not stop laughing. But it is only funny because you look SO fabulous in the end! But omg your reactions are really too much hahahahahhaaaaaa

[@333Shari]

Pure gold! It looks great!

[@Daniela83]

I laughed all the way through the video. This was so entertaining! 🤣 You look pretty no matter what!

[@kktn4739]

Hahahaaaa!!! I can’t even!!! I love you so Ruth!

[@arainapeterson]

Ruth, I am CRYING! This video is gold, pure gold! 😂😂😂😂

[@maaikevanhes]

Honestly, for a first attempt that looks pretty good 😲🤣

[@alexandrafingleton7407]

Ruth it works better if you brush all hair to the front in a tight ponytail, smooth down and put in another band and then another band which you pull into place to cut. That way it’s even. I’m shielded so I don’t know when I will see another hairdresser. There are good tutorials on KZbin.

[@liezlviljoen9649]

Fantastic! I cut my own hair as well this morning 😁

[@theresa3]

I’m so glad you posted this on KZbin too!! It really is the best entertainment especially now! Funny as all get out but also you did a better job than you give yourself credit for! I’ve said this before and I’ll say it AGAIN I love this length even a little shorter would still be perfect at your collarbone! Long enough to pull back yet pretty down❤️❤️ keep em comming☺️

[@candice6568]

Have to thank you. With all the sad and depressing news, this has me in proper stitches for the first time in ages. You are awesome and even a non-point cut haircut still looks great on you. Oh god... “Kat I don’t know what takes you so long!” Lol!!! This is hilarious!!!!!! I might actually cut mine too! Have a fab weekend and thank you for sharing! x

[@cynthiaboot7902]

Ruth I was thinking you should shorten your hair just a little . Intelligent and funny ! Good combo

[@christineo7930]

"that's not point cutting" 🤣 funniest video in a loooonggg time ❤️❤️❤️

[@Courtney6]

Ruth, I’ve watched you since you began KZbin and you have always been the funniest person I’ve ever seen. Still going strong. 😆 love this. Your hair would look great no matter what you do to it.

[@margaretanderson6940]

This was helpful. Thanks Ruth! Got the" point cut" thing. It's easier with curly hair. Take care.

[@lynncroft556]

That was awesome! You were so brave and funny and it actually looked pretty good when you were done!

[@carolomoruan]

There is not enough ♥️♥️♥️😂😂😂 for this. Thanks for giving you tube the opportunity to now see your insta heroics. Your face when u realise *f**k* 😂😂

[@matilda2]

Lol my anxiety levels increased when you pulled out the elc scissors!

[@barbarajames4786]

Brilliant! Laughed my ass off whilst feeding my newborn to sleep thanks Ruth! Easily the most hilarious video in all of lockdown!

[@mybagoftheday1722]

You are so funny, I for real couldn`t help bursting laughing. Yet somehow miraculously the result is not that bad at all.

[@emmalcm]

Oh Ruth you are so funny. Funniest thing I've seen in ages haha. I'm starting to consider cutting mine to be honest because even when the hairdressers open I'm not sure how safe I'll feel going and I'm long overdue a cut. At least though because when I had a fringe I used to trim it between cuts, I do have a pair of hairdressing scissors.

[@lisastanford7008]

You do make me laugh, I nearly choked on my porridge this morning watching you! You still look gorgeous even with your hacked hair x

[@beth3011]

OMG Ruth!!! Hall of Fame video, right there. 😉

[@mandiekendall4323]

Oh best thing seen for ages so funny ... you still look amazing 💇🏼‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️💇🏼‍♀️x

[@becksplatt4815]

Key response of watching video is nervous laugher....Well done and brave!

[@RuthCrilly]

hahaha

[@LadyJane222]

Lol...Love you Ruth! You gave me a good laugh!😂. I cut my own hair using a KZbin video. It turned out ok but shorter than I thought. Anyway, yours turned out ok!😊👍🏽

[@misscutypie23]

Love this Ruth!! I actually laughed out loud for the first time in months! You are still gorgeous either way! 🤣🤣🤣

[@larafoto9305]

Endlich mal ein Video, genauso wie es in Echt ist, haare selbst zu schneiden!

[@evghenianicolaou5327]

I still think it doesn't look that bad. It actually suits you!

[@cbostrom6140]

Keeping a good pair of hairdresser scissors at home is always a good idea. Even if to fix small things like a fringe. And if it goes wrong, it will always grow out. I have cut my own hair for the last 15 years. Some times it turns out ok, other times good and some times not so good. I have curly hair and the hairdressers here in Sweden are like butchers when it somes to curly hair. So I find it is better to do it myself.

[@victoriaenglish]

That was hilarious! Cheered me up no end! Ummmmm not sure i will do the same though😂

[@Amanda-kw1vi]

Your hair looked great to be honest. It you had held the scissors straight up and sniped the ends to feather it a bit it would have looked better and could have done the front to later it a bit but all in good fun, hair grows :) I'm sure Angelica liked it. Btw, I seriously thought you were going to try and cut your hair with paper

[@CatherinePhillipssapphire]

Were you bored? OMG the kids scissors 🤣🤣🤣 just as well you’re so cute.

[@kimberleestern]

One of my favorite videos during lockdown 😊

[@susanmcf1]

I have never laughed so much. You are so funny! It's a gift!

[@katiem6773]

I love this length on your Ruth. You are so funny..thanks for the laughs. xoxo

[@theresa3]

Still all time favorite for entertainment during quarantine😆😆😆💗💗💗

[@janeburkhart4051]

I think you did really well! I've only dared to trim my fringe. 😁 My husband wants me to cut his hair today...it's very thick. Hopefully he won't have to wear a hat afterwards! 😂

[@irismadeleine]

Brad Mondo did a great video on how to cut your own hair in lockdown and how to avoid mistakes.

[@doaaelfateh1609]

Well, Now i know that i will not cut my hair by my self... thanks for posting just on a perfect time, I was going to do that this evening... It was funny and I enjoyed it so much :).

[@donnariddell9202]

Oh Ruth you are hilarious and a brave woman too 😂

[@Ninkopi]

It's not that bad, a little uneven on the ends but a hairdresser will fix that right up. Your husband probably could too with a tutorial. Tip: twist the small mirror around and tip it towards a large mirror - look at the back of your head in the large mirror, not the small one, if that makes sense. If it makes you feel better this happened to me with brad mondo's tutorial - only I dyed it red too, freaked out and bleached it. Now it's in a bun XD

[@helenspicer4246]

This is my favourite video all lockdown Ruth....literally crying with laughter not at you of course but love how you don’t take yourself too seriously....etc scissors will never b3 the same again ❤️😂

[@nicolebradbury2086]

Oh god this was brilliant. I was in stitches 🤣

[@Shungabali]

looks better than before anyway

[@tarpleyk9352]

You''re so cute with your videos, I truly enjoy them. Thank You. So Adorable, LoL

[@BM-nq2qx]

LOVE this cut! 💜

[@katie3409]

That was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long while. You are my hero! 😂 I can’t remember the last time I belly laughed like that. Sorry it’s at your expense, but that was genius. Good on ya!

[@Middle-aged-mum]

Oh my god. This cracked me up!! I gave my hair a cut a few weeks ago. It went very badly. I had to call for help from the husband who laughed. A lot!!

[@juliechapman7367]

Sorry Ruth. I am 5mins in and am howling laughing. Xxx

[@katrinabryce]

I put about an entire tub of Loreal Dream Lengths hair mask on mine to try and deal with split ends. The results are not perfect, but at least I don't look like I've got a haystack on my head now.

[@purpleangel5029]

Looks lovely this is how I cut my own hair and finish off with a unicorn tail cut for a feathered cut 💞

[@Ladynipchick2]

Unicorn tail? What's that, the forehead tail??

[@salliegoach8296]

I am about to wet my pants laughing at your kid's safety scissors!!!

[@annerankin1191]

I am watching this again because I need another laugh!!!!!! You are such a character! I wish there was a 💗 button!

[@yvonneh5620]

THANKS FOR KEEPING IT REAL ALWAYS! YOU ARE A BREATH OF FRSH AIR. UR HAIR LOOKS GREAT. I'M SICK OF BEAUTY VIDS WITH GLUTTUNOUS CONSUMERISM AND LARGE LUXURY BEAUTY HAULS. KEEP UR VIDS COMING. ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THEM. THANK U..

[@kirstyjones898]

"Oh crap" are my youngest daughter's words of choice when things do not go to plan. I laughed to hear you use them. I think point cutting means you point the scissors straight upwards & snip away. You are a braver woman than me, to try this.

[@ellenmeilee]

It looks loads better to be honest! Oh how I laughed though. Brilliantly done.

[@737speedster]

This made me laugh sooooo much.

[@Bettyboop711000]

Haven't laughed so much in weeks :) Thank you.

[@ginnybloomer5132]

I love this Ruth! I'm sorry but it cheered me up no end. My hair has got so thick and heavy I keep threating to take my horse clippers to it 😱😊. In a moment of madness I'm quite likely to do it too Lol. You'd look fabulous in a bin liner Ruth 😊😘. That length does look really good on you too.

[@aspinks2015]

That was the funniest thing I have seen for ages 😂 it still looked great at the end though! X

[@ruthm3813]

That was fun Ruth, and actually you did a great job. Now mine is just bottom of my ears length(ish) and looks terrible. It should be short of course. I have no idea how to do mine so I am isolating so nobody can see me!!

[@julespearson]

I was feeling the urge to do crazy things to my hair in Iso, so many videos and memes.... then I realised my hairdresser wasn't actually closed... (Australia). So my hair was saved. Point cutting is when you point the scissors upwards and snip the hair from the bottom. Rather than hacking straight across. That is how, I've always trimmed my fringe. It also makes it harder to cut heaps off at once.

[@margarytavasylieva3732]

Omg how did i miss this video

[@private5228]

Length is great!!

[@jbmummylife5189]

😂😂😂dying with laughter...it was worth the video if nothing esle

[@heavenfxeyesforsale]

Im gonna try this next time

[@logiclanguagelearningFrench]

You always look great but I think the longer looks lovely.

[@RosanneCooke]

I love how she questions why her stylist takes so long. Lol.

[@hannahlawrence8973]

Ruth this was so funny 🤣🤦‍♀️

[@bridgetware8841]

Can we see Kat’s reaction to this please? 🤣😬🤣

[@candice6568]

I wish I could like this more than once!!! 🤣

[@littlewingedzebra]

ok, but it's not actually that bad? the youtuber Elle Florence did her own haircut, with the proper scissors, and hers turned out surprisingly well. i think the scissors and also doing very small sections is key.

[@anne-marielandry4465]

Well I think you did a fine job considering the scissors you used! It’s a good length and you’ll grow into it until you can get to a salon. I thought Mr. AMR might have guided you along 😜.

[@Abernethy0257]

Quality content start to finish!

[@becksplatt4815]

Need to get the scissors tagged Ruth..😂

[@skylilly1]

Try bangs next! That should be a real hoot!

[@angieguest8903]

Brave girl Ruth😁...it does look good though 👍xx

[@britnikuizin2807]

That was hilarious!!
