Toddler gives her mum outrageous haircut - 'Good job we're in lockdown'

A mum was left with an unfortunate new hairstyle after her toddler decided to try her hand at cutting her long locks.

Just like the rest of us, Suzie Flynn is unable to take her daughter Ava for a trim following the closure of all non-essential businesses - including hairdressers - so had a go herself.

But things didn't exactly go to plan, and while Ava was left with a lovely new look the same can't be said for Suzie.

Half way through the cut, she put the scissors down to check her work so far - and immediately regretted it.

In that moment Ava had picked up the scissors and chopped a chunk of her mum's hair off.

She shared the hilarious snaps to the Facebook group We Are The Motherload, and wrote: “Whilst I was cutting Ava’s fringe, I put the scissors down to check her fringe was straight using the comb.

“Before I had the chance to stop her, she’d picked up the scissors and said ‘can I have a turn?’

Suzie said: "Good job we're in lockdown" (Facebook)

“And chopped my hair off.”

Before adding the #goodjobwereinlockdown.

The post received 4,400 likes and hundreds of comments from parents either laughing at her expense or suggesting ways to fix it.

One joked: "This has had me absolutely SQUEALING with laughter for quarter of an hour now. Its the funniest thing I've EVER seen online! Everytime I picture the, 'Can I have a turn?'... CHOP!! it just sets me off again!"

Another said: "A graduated bob would really suit you I think, if you carried on the line of the cut she started".

And a third suggested getting extensions to fill the gap.
