My sister is actually my stylist, but she has this habit of ignoring what I ask for and trying to make my hair a bit "cooler". I'm 23, so she thinks my long wavy blonde hair, and long side fringe look (that I love and have had forever) is "boring" and that I should be more adventurous because I'm young, so when I asked for a trim she cut all these short chunky layers and a short side fringe into my hair, which is now shoulder length at it's longest point. It looks to me like there's actual steps in my hair, and it's too short to tie it all back (which as a chef it's important that I can do). All I can do is pin it up and go for this half-up kinda look that's ok I guess, but I don't feel at all like myself. <br />I'm also devastated because I'd JUST finished growing it out from the last time she thought she knew better, and gave me a super styled bob, that although it looked cool, it was way too much work for me to manage and style, and again, I didn't feel like myself. I think I'm actually done with haircuts from now on!<br />The worst part is I just started dating this guy a few weeks ago that I really really like, and he's often remarked on how much he loves my long blonde hippy hair. I'm dreading him seeing the disaster I'm left with. I'm kind of hoping it stays cold enough for the next month or two that I can wear slouchy hats and cover up the layers, even if the dodgy fringe gets displayed.<br />But seriously, I've literally been crying for about an hour here, so thank you all for making me laugh and feel a bit better about my macheted look.Little Miss Housewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604599533643269680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-14240949188052429002010-10-25T23:11:45.863-07:002010-10-25T23:11:45.863-07:00I have to tell you about mine even though this is ...I have to tell you about mine even though this is late! I did it. I was desperate for a haircut (3 1/2 year old and 4 month old at home- and I think I don't have time to go get it cut professionally) so I decided to try it myself. I have cut my husband's hair so I thought I could cut mine. Um, no. I put the scissors down at one point and was laughing at the horrible mess I had created, and then I picked up the scissors and tried to fix it! My husband tried (sweet man) and then a week later I had a nice lady fix it. It was inches shorter than I wanted and ugh- not at all what I had in mind. But it was my fault! I am glad to hear your hair is better than you thought, you always make me laugh so much!Angie from Dear Spring Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03613347058430486109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-55218849969168396172010-10-05T05:39:12.495-07:002010-10-05T05:39:12.495-07:00Worst haircut ever?

I said, "I don't have anything in mind. How about you just do what you think is best." Oh man. I went home that day with a mullet. It was bad. I had a mullet. Not like in the 80s or 90s when that was the thing... this was like 2 or 3 years ago. Lesson learned? When having Momba cut my hair, we give very simple requests "chin-length, straight-across." So far, there have been no more mullets. We count everything better than the mullet as a success. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02480586589078909606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-10775163372621439812010-09-28T17:39:17.930-07:002010-09-28T17:39:17.930-07:00Where did you get your hair cut so I can avoid it?...Where did you get your hair cut so I can avoid it? My last hair cut: my genius hair stylist, pregnant and moving to TX, whom I've been loyal to for 6 years...we chatted like the old friends we are and then...done? I was confused but thought I'd figure it out when I got home. Nope. I called the salon. It had been sold and no one answered. I emailed. Nothing. I have been living with this BEAST all summer, wanting to shave my head every time I go to the gym, and somehow it turned into a worse beast! She would have fixed it for free and I don't really have the money, still, to pay someone to cut it again. Been trying to not cut it myself. Feels like my scalp catches fire as I obsess in my cubicle. You can certainly have my hair, it might make a good hat!

I colored my greys with the same stuff I've been using for years and it turned jet, raven black (I'm a brunette). I decided that if I was going to be severe, I may as well be daring too. The cut was great. Maybe you could use this as an opportunity to try a bold color... do blondes have more fun? what about a va-voom redhead?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14678494457727390897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-9582009210064765432010-09-21T05:27:19.502-07:002010-09-21T05:27:19.502-07:00Oh, my poor dear, I'm so sorry.

I had a stylist get mad at me once because I didn't want the style she recommended, and she cut a good two inches off my already shortish hair. In my twenties, my blonde hair was dyed a greenish brown...the list goes on including a Robin Hood hairstyle.

I was so freaked towards the end of the cut, I started to laugh hysterically (to stop from crying) You can see how my hairdresser thinks I'm a psycho can't you?<br /><br />When I got home I noticed how grey my remaining hair was, so I put my usual medium-brown dye through it. I was on a course of antibiotics at the time, which apparently makes the dye cling to everything. So my hair, my scalp, my hands all turned jet black! So before I had medium length brown hair, now I have short spiky pitch black hair... Do you feel better now?<br /><br />One last thing Lauren.

She started cutting from the top of my head and when she saw my look of horror said, "don't worry, this is just a guide". It was a guide for cutting my hair into a mushroom shape. I wore a hat for three months. Luckily my hair grows fast. I cried off and on for a week over this. I'm not over it and it has been 2+ years. Now when I go to the hair dresser I spend a lot of time letting her know how traumatic that haircut was and to not cut it short.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02572971697814460756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-70315364405199412662010-09-16T18:03:43.625-07:002010-09-16T18:03:43.625-07:00No way ...not without a picture.

Well, it's a bad sign when she puts the apron thingy around your neck and you sit down and she says no, stand up, then makes me flip my head over and she proceeds to cut my hair upside down. It took a really good stylist and razor'd layers to get it to look anywhere normal again. It all works out and there is always something cute you can do with hair.

So I asked her to come along on my next haircut. Because I was in college and had no money, we went to one of those "am I really going there" places in the mall. The woman, who barely understood english, said, "You want bang, yeah?" My sister replied for me "Yes, I think so." and before I could get another word out, the woman had swept half my hair over my eyes and chopped it off half way down my forehead. Half my hair in thick, straight, awful bangs. The rest of my freshman year was spent with a series of bad, but at least slightly better attempts to grow it out in anything that didn't look like mop.Jen Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15813125986792039550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-22101691833635217822010-09-15T07:57:50.628-07:002010-09-15T07:57:50.628-07:00Ok,I'm going to tell you my friend's story...Ok,I'm going to tell you my friend's story because it is the worst ever.She is half African American and half European American.She made an appointment at a salon in downtown Chicago that normally does the hair of AA women.Her sister begged her not to.Told her "they're not used to hair like ours."My friend doesn't listen and goes to get her hair straightened.Well her sister was right.Her head was burning and as they're washing the chemicals out,her hair starts falling out.She leaves the salon and it starts pouring rain.So,there she is,in downtown Chicago in the pouring rain,her hair coming out in chunks,no hat or hood and she has to take public transportation home so her sister could say"I told you so".Re-rehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00291661808194382837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6544870717394624903.post-23425136719483141932010-09-15T01:33:31.477-07:002010-09-15T01:33:31.477-07:00I so understand you!

My mother and sister though have been blessed with super thick and wavy hairs.<br /><br />My mother always had an issue with my hair, wanting to make it more "lively" and more alike what she and my sister had. We tried it all with my hairdresser. Layers. Different colours. Highlights. Bangs. And of course; the perm.<br /><br />I was 15 and the problem was my hair didn't take the perm properly. First time I had waves in a third of my hair and the rest was still dead straight. A couple of days later, we did another round. My hairdresser let me sit with the liquids and rolls longer than recommended and I ended up having half of my hair a bit wavy. And the rest still straight. And then I started losing an awful lot of hair due to the perm liquids and the stress of having two perms.
