bad haircut!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Question Posted Friday May 23 2008, 2:22 pm

15/F


I've been getting my hair cut from one stylist over the past few years. He's a very good haircutter - I've been pleased with most of his cuts.

Well, this time I told him what I wanted but he misunderstood me and he gave me an atrocious pixie cut. It looks pretty damned awful.

I can't look at myself in the mirror without crying. I have never looked this ugly in my whole life. I've been wearing a wig so people don't see what I look like.


Here is the hair I have right now:

Here is the look that I wanted to achieve:

I told him exactly what I wanted. I even showed him one of the pictures (the 7th one). I told him that I wanted a stacked, graduated bob that really poofs out.

He saw one of the pictures and he said, "Oh, I see! You want it super short!" Well, yes, the haircut I wanted was about jaw-length, but I DID NOT WANT A PIXIE CUT!!!!

I asked him whether the cut he was planning to give would puff out on the sides, and he said yes, so I assumed that we were on the same page. While he was cutting away, I was starting to see the direction that my hair was going, and I asked him again whether my hair would poof out in the end and he said, "Don't worry, this is just the underlayer. It'll poof out in the end"

Yes, the cut he gave me was stacked and layered but I DID NOT WANT A PIXIE CUT!!!!


He sensed that I was unhappy and he later gave me a phone call. He said that in a few months, he can re-do my hair free of charge.


So, what I need to know is:


1. How long will it take

What I need to know is:


1. How long will it take for my hair to grow out so it is long enough to get the cut I want?


2. How can I be more specific in my description to the stylist so he knows exactly what I want and won't get confused?

the best thing i can think of is get extensions, CLIP ON tho from almost any hair cut/styling place. it will make you the happiest person ever, its the best thing for any, wrong haircut. i say about 2 months to grow out enough. for your description, print out a front, a back, and a side picture of it, and bring it all in. although i would say dont try and get the haircut again, get it as long as ur hair is at the moment whenever you get it cut. it would be even worse to get it the second time. for your hair now it looks pretty thin, so tease it up. hold a strand of hair and put a comb in it and go along your hair up and down for all your hair, then hairspray timeee. if that dont work tell me ill try and think of something else, im only 14 but i fix up a lot of scene kind of hair and i dye a lot of hair hehe mines always different. but just try clip on extensions do not ever get glued or sewn in extensions ever, just get clip. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) their extensions [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) thats a random person w and w/o them, see the difference! lol i hope i helped

You have wicked thin hair so I think the only way you could get it to poof out would be using volumizing product. Sorry, but it's true. I have the same problem with my hair. If you want, what you could try would be to buy some volumizing gel or hairspray to style it like that every morning.

Anyways, it will probably take around 3 months to grow your hair out all the way. Once the shorter layers start growing past your ears, I would cut the longer layers so that they are the same length. Then you can have a haircut all one length until you get it cut again.

And I'm sure that people wouldn't make fun of you severely over a haircut. If they do, then they really need to consider growing up. It's just hair and it'll grow back sweetie. Honestly, if you walk around with your head down full of shame, they'll probably think your stranger then if you walk around head held high and confident with a weird haircut.

Be confident, and don't worry: It'll grow back before you know it. =]
