Go back to the hairdresser
This is the first & most obvious solution, though it is one a lot of people never try because we feel uncomfortable or awkward telling someone that what they’ve done isn’t up to scratch. Most hairdressers want to do their best, so if you go in and have a quiet word, chances are they’ll make every effort to fix up your hair to please you. Also, they want your business so it’s in their best interest to help you.
On the other hand, if the haircut is so bad that you daren’t go back for fear of the haircut ending up even worse, perhaps the next step is for you.
Go somewhere else
It depends on the haircut, but sometimes the only thing to do is rush somewhere else and ask them to fix your hair. If it’s really, really bad, you might want to do it straight away, but if it’s tolerable, give it a couple of weeks to grow out before you sit back down in the hairdresser’s chair.
Now, this is one time you really don’t want to skimp on a haircut. You’ve just had your tresses butchered, so don’t take any chances. Go somewhere with a great reputation.
Buy some product & spend some time in front of the mirror
Sometimes you can fix a terrible do just by styling it differently. For example, if your fringe has been cut too short, you could try to make it look acceptable by sweeping it back off your forehead. Don’t be afraid of looking different. Besides, if you’ve had your hair the same way for 5 years, it’s time to do something new!
Go hat shopping
Go shopping for some cute hats. Buy a few different ones like a slouchy beanie, a fluffy beret, a fedora, a couple of turbans…whatever grabs your fancy. There are no rules on what you can or cannot wear so have a hunt around & see what you can find!
Invest in a bunch of different scarves
You can never have enough scarves as they are so versatile. Just lay it over the front of your hair & tie it behind your head or fold it and wear it like a bandana.
Buy lovely accessories
Having a bad haircut is a good excuse to buy some fabulous hair accessories. Check out headbands with big bows on the side, huge diamanté slides, miniature tiaras, clips with cupcakes on & sparkly hair-ties. Distracting onlookers with a huge glinting accessory will mean they won’t even notice your botched haircut!
