I cut my hair & I hate it

Andi- you should go back to the salon & have them show you how to style it... just tell them what you told us /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I have asked them numerous times how to use a round brush but I never succeeded in doing it myself. Should I just get a medium sized one and try again? and the bangs is something I can´t do anything about I guess though, even when the stylist did it I didn´t like the bangs :icon_conf

Im sorry to hear about you bangs. If you anything like me then your hair is your pride and joy. Let me tell you my last horror story. I was 17 and I went to a salon for the first time to get my hair highlighted. Up to that point my mom always had highlighted my hair to this point and she would just add color on to my hair and she never bleached my hair. I have always used rocker red and it turns into a dark burgandy because of how dark my hair is. Anyway i go to the salon by myself and i tell the stylist i wasnt red highlights in small streaks throughout my hair so if i put it up in a ponytail you could still see it and so forth. I pick a color thats punk rocker red. They bleached my hair and put the red in. I forgot that my mom never bleached my hair so the punk rocker red stayed punk rocker red and within a month it turned pink and pink became a straw yellow pink so i have to dye my hair to cover it. Ever since then i have never had my hair colored at a salon.

awww Andrea I am sorry you hate your hair cut, but i bet you still look beautiful!

What size of round brush are you using now? For your length of hair I would think you would want a medium or large brush, depending on how much you want the ends to flip out or under. You can also try using a paddle brush to flatten it a little more. (Of course if your hair is as stubborn as mine, a flat iron is the only way to get it really straight! lol)

I know it will take time to grow out bangs, but why can't you back to the salon (or go to another one if you're scared of this one!) to have the layers adjusted? If you think layers are too thick at the ends, just ask them to add some more layers in ....

Also, you can always use a flat iron a few days a week or on days that it's really important to you to have nice hair, then try to use the blowdryer the rest of the time. If your hair's not too oily, you can flat iron it one day and not wash it and wear it straight again the next day. If your hair's just a little oily, try putting some baby powder in it the second day to sop up the oil! Right now, I flat iron my hair probably 3-4 days a week, and wear it in a ponytail the other days (since my hair's too oily to wear down the second day). I've been doing this for several months and my hair seems as healthy as it was before -- just make sure you use a good heat-protectant product! (I like L'Oreal Hot Straight, since it also acts as an anti-frizz/anti-static product!)

Of course, even though I'm also very self-conscious about my hair, I usually don't freak out that much at a bad haircut since I know it will grow out eventually! I went in for a haircut 7 months before my wedding and the gal cut it way shorter than I asked -- but it turned out okay, I just trimmed it once during the next 7 months (fortunately my hair doesn't get many split ends!) and by the wedding it actually ended up being the perfect length for the hairstyle I wanted! So you never know, after a little practice styling it or a little growing out, it may end up being a good style for you!

Oh no way. :scream3::whipping::icon_cry:

How short are the bangs? Can you just use the Flat Iron on the bangs and not the rest of your hair? Maybe like...do you have velcro rollers for the rest of your hair just to smooth things out and calm down the "fat ends"? Velcro Jumbo (I think mine are Green) Rollers just at the ends do this nicely. You just can't have too much product on your ends or it ends up looking too flat or you can also get flyaways. Or the other thing is....Do you even like headbands? Lately, Reese Witherspoon has been seen wearing really pretty headbands that are stylish and would keep the bangs out of your face until they grew out a little. I think even Ashlee Simpson sometimes wears them.

yeah I was thinking about headbands too, they never really looked that great on me but I´ll definitely give that a try just for a different look.

and I don´t have velcro rollers, I have some rollers and cone-shaped thingies but they all don´t really work, I am just bad at styling my hair. I realized I can make it look ok by flatironing everything and my bangs are gonna grow fast, I´m pretty sure...and I won´t flatiron them so they can grow back healthy :satisfied:

see I´m already back to being optimistic. sorta.

sorry that happened /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

i know when i get a bad haircut, i'm like, ugh, this will take FOREVER TO GROW OUT and i stress on that so much that time flies because in my head, it'll take a long time, when it really doesn't. that makes NO sense, but i can't explain it LOL

 

[cute]

me too .I cut my hair yesterday but i totally hate it .. don't know what should i do now ..

maybe going to cut it again

 

[KimC2005]

I know what you mean!! I hate change! I also hate when I first get my haircut. I recently got my hair cut short in a cute lil pixie cut after having it several inches past my shoulders. I thought that I would really like a short haircut, but I hated it. Everyone else liked it but me of course. I wanted the sideswept bangs but I didn't want them to be way too short. Well, they were way too short.. Its very frustrating when a hair stylist doesn't listen to what you asked for.

Aww Arielle, I bet you're still gorgoeus!!! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I just hope that hairdresser girl doesn't bump into you in your dreams or otherwise...cos she'll be sorry!!

Your hair will grow and you'll be happy with it again and look 5 years younger!!

 

[Andi]

HAHA yeah when she visits me in my dreams I´ll take revenge and shave her head :laughing:

nah, I forgive her, she´s always done a great job with my hair so I just see this one as a little mistake, I just won´t ask for any more CHANGES I guess

 

[charish]

sorry to hear about your hair. it takes 2 months for hair to grow about an inch. some people's take longer. also i heard hair grows faster in warmer climate.

 

[prettybabi11492]

Sorry to hear that /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I hope it grows to a length you want soon, and that it's okay to deal with for a little while...
