How To Deal With A Bad Haircut
Author: Dr Kirstie
You only wanted a trim and a bit of layering but the hairstylist at that
brand new salon took off five inches and gave you a haircut so horrible it
almost reduced you to tears. A bad haircut happens to everyone at one time or
another and although it feels like a critical event at the time, hair grows and
even a bad haircut will correct itself over time. But it can be a challenge to
deal with this problem at the time it happens. Here are some ideas on what to do
when a bad haircut has you down:
After a bad haircut: Assess the damage
Is you new haircut truly as bad as you think or is it just a radical
departure from the norm that may require some adjustment on your part? Try
washing your hair to remove the styling products and see what you have to work
with. Is there a way you could style it differently or change the part to give
it a better look? Experiment a bit with your blow dryer and other hair
appliances. You may find with a little creativity you can turn your new haircut
into a winner.
Get an objective assessment.
Call a friend that you trust to be brutally honest and ask her to evaluate
your new haircut. She may see it in a more objective light than you and may be
able to make some suggestions on a more flattering way to style your cut.
Schedule a consultation with the hair salon.
It may be you just need a few lessons on how to style your new haircut.
Schedule an appointment with the salon who cut your hair and let them know
you're having problems with your new cut A few lessons in how to blow dry and
style your new haircut may be all you need to appreciate your new look.
Head for the hair magazines.
Buy some copies of hair magazines on the market that show haircuts similar to
yours. Study the photos and learn from the way these cuts were styled and the
different possible variations.. If they suggest particular styling products,
consider giving them a try. Experiment with your new haircut based on what you
learn from these magazines and learn what works and what doesn't.
Look at the bright side.
A new haircut, even if it's not the most flattering, gives you a chance to
sport an entirely new look. Sometimes reinventing yourself can be a positive.
Experiment with some new cosmetic and fashion ideas that you might not have
tried with your "safe" haircut. Be more outlandish and daring. Try altering your
hair color or adding highlights that you might not have done before. This is
your opportunity to step out of your fashion safety zone.
Keep in mind that even the worst haircut isn't permanent. Learn from the
experience so your next haircut can be just want you want.
