It's getting closer and closer to the beginning of school. I want to get a haircut before I go back. Since I'm no longer dyeing my hair black, I wanted to do something different, like a hair cut. I'm planning on getting layers so that I can blow dry it to look like that really big 80's hair.
I'm honestly a bit nervous right now, because I'm afraid the hair dresser will not cut my hair right, or it will look bad. I've actually never had my hair professionally cut, my whole life, my mom has just trimmed it.
Am I overreacting about getting my hair cut? Should I take this chance getting it cut? If I do get a bad haircut, what are some styles where you can't really see the bad hair cut?

Then go on google and look up "best haircuts for ____-shaped face." Then, once you've figured out what kind of layers will look good with your face shape, look up some pictures to find out exactly what you want and show your hair stylist. If you want really good results, ask around to find a hair stylist that actually really cares how you look, because some just like to cut hair as fast as possible. And remember..the first day, you will probably be shocked with the change but after a few days you'll get used to it. Just mess around in the mirror with bobby pins and bandanas and ponytail holders until you find some hairstyles that look good. [ amarand's advice column | Ask amarand A Question ]

Here is a tip, look in a magazine or online for a picture of a hairstyle you want. Print it out and show them. That way they know exactly how you want it. If it turns out awful, try wearing it in a ponytail or half up half down. It will grow out so it doesn't look that bad. Remember that you are in control so if they ask you if you want long or short layers tell them what you want! [ xoMarisox's advice column | Ask xoMarisox A Question ]
