WOMAN’S DIY HAIRCUT GOES TERRIBLY WRONG<br />WITH VID AND PIX <br />BY SHANNON PICKETT <br />What began as a simple bang trim turned into a full-blown follicular catastrophe for this 21-year-old who has now become the latest cautionary tale of why scissors and impulse should never mix.<br />Elisabeth Cawley from Utah, USA, decided she was in need of a haircut but as she started cutting, one piece ended up shorter than the other with a never-ending battle to even out the sides. <br />She hit record and proceeded to document her now-infamous haircut meltdown, a journey that began at shoulder length and ended far shorter than anything she had hoped for. <br />She said: “First I'm just going to cut it to the length of these other short pieces.<br />“I cut off a lot!"<br />Still, that didn’t stop her. Convinced that some previously cut shorter pieces were 'annoying' and messing with her vision, she devised a new idea: a 'full-on high-made cut' that would supposedly leave face-framing pieces resting on her cheekbones.<br />Cawley openly admitted her 'insatiable thirst for cutting hair' as she weighed her dream of both very long hair and, paradoxically, a pixie cut.<br />But acting on impulse, Elisabeth had already picked up the scissors and decided where she was going to start cutting. <br />The haircut was getting shorter and shorter, her own horror growing with each glance.<br />Looking at the result, Cawley was genuinely unsure whether the situation could be redeemed.<br />She said: “I want a pixie cut so bad, but I also want really long hair. Do you see my dilemma?<br />“I need to be stopped. Okay, I've got to stop. I did it too short.<br />“I do this every time. I do this every time.<br />I don't know if this can be saved.<br />“I need recommendations like right now. And uh, don’t say pixie cut.”<br />ENDS
