After all, it's not like this is my first disastrous haircut. When you plan ahead as little as I do, this sort of thing happens rather a lot. :-)</p> <p>It was more of an eye-rolling, Oh no not again kind of moment. When I got home from the salon and had a proper look, I mean. But today I've been experimenting with the flatiron, and already it looks better. Less like an extra in Lord of the Rings at least. And, bonus, it looks pretty cool with a fedora (which I might be wearing a lot more until this grows out a bit). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857454 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 02:09:11 +0000 Sveta 857454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It may be just an adjustment thing, you know. Remember when I went almost black accidentally and was devastated about it - and look at me now still wearing that dark hair and loving it!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857353 Sat, 23 Feb 2013 00:32:48 +0000 MNsara 857353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gah! This brings back my own bad haircut emotions . . . but time does help - getting used to the cut, it growing a little, etc. Plus, you said your stylist always gets it right. I hope this time too </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857330 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:52:54 +0000 rae 857330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, poor thing! I bet it is not as bad as you think... have you washed and styled it yourself? Sometimes stylists have made my hair to really odd things. Also, I kinda like the hobbit hair and think it is better suited to a gal anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857326 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:45:10 +0000 velvetychocolate 857326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet it will settle in about two weeks, and more often than not - hair grows back a lot faster than you think. I had a really bad haircut in March of 2012, went to a new hairstylist because I was lazy about making regular appts., and rushed in to get it cut when it was driving me crazy (always a mistake!). The stylist hacked all kinds of layers in the back of my head ..</p> <p>A month later, it was much better, and by September it was all grown out (I'm talking layers in my hair that were cut were halfway up the back of my head). By September there were no more layers, it was all one length, well past my collarbone. My new stylist used a technique of trimming the bottom, and what was happening is that the layers were slowly growing out, meeting up with the ends which were being slowly trimmed shorter along the way (I went every six weeks). </p> <p>Hang it there - it will get better and you might like it more in a couple of weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857310 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:24:02 +0000 Tina.b 857310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been there with the dreadful haircut myself. Years ago and I've barely recovered. But I'm sure in a couple days or weeks that bit of extra growth will have it looking fab once again. You have a great sense of humour, and that is way more than half the battle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857294 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:06:44 +0000 Aziraphale 857294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh god no, his Watson haircut is the worst. He looks like an army recruit. (Oh wait, he IS an army recruit). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857265 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 22:46:45 +0000 catgirl 857265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you should crop down to Martin Freeman as Watson. I'm sure it's much better than you think, and it will grow! Hugs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857195 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:57:44 +0000 Angie 857195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bet it's still fab. Hang in there. 2 weeks might do the trick. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857167 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:38:49 +0000 Caro in Oz 857167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sympathies:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857164 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:36:23 +0000 Mochi 857164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are those Public Service ads that are supposed to keep people from doing anything drastic? "It Gets Better"? I'm sure it will, actually. I guess I had filled my awful haircut quota and am finally in line for a decent one (and I'm 49!) Hugs and better hair soon! </p> <p>rachylou, I'm certain that you would fit right in in my neighborhood. And I'm sure you look fine everywhere else too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857161 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:33:39 +0000 Janet 857161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ROFL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857159 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:32:47 +0000 Aziraphale 857159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe what I need is a pair of pointy prosthetic ears. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857154 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:31:55 +0000 Janet 857154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sympathize. I had that haircut in 5th grade and wanted to hide under a rock. </p> <p>That said, I bet it looks better than you think. I hope a few days helps it settle in. Good thing hair grows! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857153 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:31:24 +0000 Aziraphale 857153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hil, you're right, sometimes what seems awful at first actually ends up looking pretty cool after about two weeks. So we'll see. My hairstylist has yet to get it wrong. She did the cut I asked for, but it doesn't look how I imagined it would with my face. </p> <p>IK -- no, <em>Martin Freeman</em> is adorable. He makes everything look cute. On me, hobbit hair is goofy.</p> <p>:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857151 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 21:29:22 +0000 Thistle 857151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Hil said, give yourself some time. Sometimes the change can be shocking and it takes a little while to love.</p> <p>Besides, his hair is pretty cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857135 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:55:31 +0000 Hil 857135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Give yourself a few days, the difference between a bad haircut and a good one and all that... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857130 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:52:00 +0000 ironkurtin 857130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Trust me, it does not.</p> <p>Also, Martin Freeman's hobbit hair was adorable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/disastrous-haircut#post-857122 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 20:48:13 +0000 Anonymous 857122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, bad haircuts are the worst.

I don't know what look I was going for, but I'm quite sure that was not it.</p> <p>:-(</p> <p>Good thing hair grows back. </p>
