The reason behind this question is my hubby and I cut each others hair. I shave his head and he trims mine to a reasonable length - this is because we don't earn alot and have to save money any way we can.
Now, I fancy a change of hairstyle and my hubby remembers seeing a TV program where the hairdresser gathered all the hair up into a pony tail on the top of the head and then just cut the pony tail off. This produced a nice layered cut which just needed a little tidying up. I, however, am not sure about this and want to see it demonstrated before I do something so drastic...
So basically if you have had this or another simple method used on you, how did it turn out? Do you have a picture anywhere so I can see how it went? Or do you know of a website where this technique is demonstrated?
Thanks all of you lovely people for your help

your husband has been cutting your hair at 0 degrees (geometrically speaking) -- you notice it turns out with no layers at all -- if he goes to the back of the head and pulls out to 45 degrees -- the bottom part of your hair will be layered -- and will probably flip on it's own -- if he pulls your hair straight back ( in manageable pieces ) he didn't try to trim all your hair at one cut, did he -- it's just easier to handle if you cut the hair in smaller pieces -- it also won't be chipped-up looking -- anyway straight back toward himself -- that's 90 degrees -- the result of that is layers higher up on the head than the 45 degree one where the layers just fall at the bottom of the hair -- if he takes it all the way up to the top in a ponytail -- that's 180 degrees -- as long as he doesn't cut too far down the ponytail -- just maybe an inch or two would be fine -- just so you don't have chippy looking hair because of trying to cut through too much hair -- depends really on how thick your hair is -- but yes that works great -- you can also pull it up in a ponytail and twist the ponytail real tight and then cut -- what i mean by chipped up is this -- take a stack of cloth ( like you're gonna cut it for a sewing project) and cut a big stack of squares of cloth -- see how chipped up that looks -- now cut one or two squares of cloth (it's easier to cut and it comes out smooth and straight) it's the same with hair.

Wow! you are brave. I started cutting my own hair (Girlfried does back bit) about a year ago for the same reason, have saved lots of cash. I wouldn't risk cutting her hair though, I enjoy life too much.
I think anything beyond simple trimming is a bit risky, you could try a visiting a hair dresser who works from home (I know one who cuts womens hair for £15), professional touch but not as pricey, ask around.
Good Luck.

Usually, which too long for me. I think it depends on the guy and his face though. Certain guys can easily pull off long hair and other people can't.

If you do it just make for sure you cut behind the ponytail not above it. It will leave you enough to straighten out.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL STYLIST AND I CUT MY OWN ALL THE TIME. THAT IS A GOOD WAY TO GET A LAYERED CUT WHEN MONEY IS TIGHT
