I cut my hair & I hate it

[Andi]

I asked for LONG sideswept bangs (think Nicole Ritchie or Ashlee Simpson) and more layers allover. well I think I said it twice that I´m NOT planning on wearing the bangs over my forehead, but it was too late when I realized she cut the bangs touching my eyebrows and longer on the sides so it goes with the layers on the side of my face, which she cut a bit too short too

I honestly don´t even wanna take a pic for you guys to see, I look so CUTE with it, I look like 5 years younger :eusa_wall:

how long do you guys think bangs take to grow? a friend told me bangs grow back really fast so if I got an extra inch or two then I´d be much happier I think. I mean it looks kinda good to clip the bangs back and that´s the only look I´m comfortable with right now. but I can´t wear my hair in the same style every day till the bangs grow longer. that´s so boring!

AHHH, I´ve never regretted a hair decision so badly!!!! :scream3:

well on a good note they did a great job with my highlights and my hair was kinda damaged so I guess it was good to cut it a bit more than just trim the ends like I usually do.

You mean to grow them out entirely or just to the length you want? It depends on your hair, but mine grows very fast so I'm sure they would be long on me in a month or two. I haven't had bangs since I was in elementary though, I never liked them on me, even though I've always wanted to try the ones you wanted (nicole ritchie, ashley olsen type).

YOu should post a pic, I bet it looks pretty!

 

[dentaldee]

I'm sure anything would look pretty on you.........post a pic!!!!

maybe you can pin the bangs back a bit while it grows?

 

[Andi]

yeah I´m definitely pinning the bangs back for now. maybe when I style my hair on my own tomorrow I can make it look better...and then maybe take a pic

and Anne, I don´t want them to grow out completely (that would take like a year LOL) but I´d like the length that the Olson twins or Ashlee Simpson have...meaning the lenght I really ASKED FOR!!!

 

[jennycateyez]

oh god i hate when a stylist does'nt listen!!! i bet u still look sexy! sorry you dont like it. :satisfied: you sould just play around with it maybe you will find ways it will look good.

 

[Maja]

Oh, Andi, I'm sorry you don't like it. I'm sure it's not that bad; but I completely understand your frustration.

I hate stylists who don't listen too.

I used to work in a hair salon, and the thing to remember is it takes up to 72 hours to get used to a new hair cut... So, you could actually end up liking your bangs by the end of next week! And you're right, if your hair was that damaged, they might have actually done you a slight favor and they could grow in faster... Never know!

The best thing to do is just keep up w/ your hair in general, and get it trimmed every 6-8 weeks. I believe hair grows at a rate of 1/4 of an inch per month... I'm due that doesn't help, but it'll grow back sooner than you think! I cut my bangs back in February to the tip of my nose, and as slow as my hair grows, they're already chin length... And when I say my hair grows slow, I mean ssssslllllooooowwwww.....

Good luck! I agree w/ everyone else though, I bet it does look cute! You should still post a pic :smilehappyyes:

Post a picture!

I think you can sweep back your bangs til they grow out.

 

[cardboardboxed]

Can't you sweep it to the side? My bangs are about eyebrow length and I sweep them to the side and wear it a la nicole richie.

 

[usersassychick0]

You could do a yorkie, or do that "bohemian" thing and have a side part and a braid coming along your face, tying in your bangs as you braid them.

Don't worry, the SAME thing happened to me too!

Last summer i asked to a nichole richie cut, just like you and it turned out great----then that hairstylist got hooked on drugs and didn't show up at work one day....lol. SO I went to another one after that, but she made them super short too! I really hated them for a month until they started to grow-that was 2 haircuts ago, and I got bangs again. They are med.long now.

 

[pretty_pink13]

The same thing happend to me a few weeks ago, I told her I wanted long bangs that I can sweep to the side, so she chops them off at an angle and I had to wear them like that until a few days ago. Now I can brush them aside which is what I really wanted in the first place but it took me a good 3 weeks to grow them out to where I wanted them.

 

[girl_geek]

Sorry you don't like your cut! But we still want to see a picture, it may not be as bad as you think -- us girls are always too hard on ourselves about our appearances! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

To answer your question, the average person's hair grows 1/2 inch per month -- usually a little faster in the summer a little slower in the winter. I've never heard anything about bangs growing faster than the rest of your hair though! But since they are shorter, you may notice a difference sooner than you would when growing out longer hair!

 

[NYAngel98]

Awww... sorry to hear that hun!! xoxo I think once they start to settle in, you'll start to find other ways to wear them... and they should grow in pretty quickly. You can use a styling paste to kind of 'slick' them to the side in the meantime /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

And yes.... I think you should post a pic too!!! I want to see the rest of the cut!

 

[Andi]

ugh I am so insecure about it! if I wasn´t that certain it´d be totally silly I would have cried. I pinned them up as soon as I saw myself in the mirror after I got to the mall after visiting the hair saloon. my bf forced me to take them down so he could take a look at the "damage" as I called it. he told me I had a totally pouty and sad face, and that´s not a great look anyway, LOL

but if it only took a couple of weeks for some of you to grow them back to your personal "comfort zone" then that´s ok for me.

when I style it tomorrow morning I might take a pic. but y´all are gonna have to deal with the pouty sad face too then, ok? :laughing:

 

[anne7]

I did recently get my hair cut, from mid back (bra strap) to being an inch below my shoulders (about 5-6 inches) with the front shorter and more layered. I wasn't thrilled the first couple days, I felt it was just too short. Then a week later, I thought "hmm, now this doesn't seem too short" And now, a month later, I love it, and I'm glad I let her cut it that length, otherwise it would just be back to where it used to be already. So don't get freaked, it really will grow on you!

 

[Andi]

yeah I know, I´m a person that´s afraid of changes big time. but most times I ended up loving the change after a short time of getting used to it. but I´m just scared this time will be different...I had like really straight horizontal bangs when I was 15 and looking back I looked hideous!!!!! I´m just afraid of looking like that ever again :icon_conf

 

[NYAngel98]

Yeah like you might EVER look bad!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> lol xoxo

 

[Andi]

haha, yes I do!!!

well it doesn´s look horrible but I look so retarded...literally! I look a bit too ditzy for my liking :icon_conf

I know I know I might be overreacting but I already hate my hair on 90% of the days so hating it even more is not that great for me!!!

 

[MACGoddess]

Aww sorry to hear it hunnie!! (I still wanna see a pic though!!)

My hair will usually seem too "short" when I get it cut, but after about a month I feel much better.

 

[Andi]

ok I tried to style my hair on my own today. The stylist told me I´d need a round brush to work with the layers but I don´t have one and I could never use round brushes cause it just never worked out.

it does not look better. it actually looks worse. the bangs won´t go to the side completely cause they´re too short in the middle and the lenght looks horrible too cause the layers are not defined so my ends look so "fat" meaning too much volume on the bottom in comparison to the top.

If I didn´t know that it wouldn´t change anything I´d cry now. so that means for the next like 2months or something I´ll have to wear my hair in a ponytail or a bun AND pin the bangs back. great, huh? I don´t even like the way I look with my hair up, I wear it down in 90% of the time.

I´m sure I could make the ends look better by using a flat iron but I can´t use it everyday cause it´d damage my hair too bad.

sorry no pic. I just couldn´t do it, I wouldn´t even let my bf see me like that. I think I´ll even sleep with the pinned back bangs so I never have to look at them again :scared:

and NO, I´m NOT exaggerating. This is the worst my hair has ever looked and I feel ugly and very self conscious!!!!!
