Bad Haircut Bad haircut help me!!

Why do hairdressers never seem to listen to what they’re asked to do? Before anyone says I should’ve spoken up, I’m autistic and I frequently go mute under stress. The second I saw her cutting it much shorter than we’d agreed, I completely froze. I couldn’t get the words out, and even now I feel guilty and rude for complaining. I’m 16 and I start college for the first time in a month, and I’ve been crying and panicking because this haircut is genuinely horrific to me. I actually know how to style hair and I’m usually really good at it, but only when it’s the length I was expecting. I’ve had every length of hair, including a pixie cut, and it was the worst decision of my life because I was severely bullied for it. I even told my hairdresser about the bullying before she started cutting, which is exactly why I didn’t want it this short. Now it’s brought all those memories back and I honestly don’t understand why she would cut so much off after I’d explained everything. I would never have chosen to have my hair this short and I know I’m not really asking much of a question I just need to tell anyone I need some kind of reassurance, it’s also layered at the back but you can barely see it because it only looked nice with the length I wanted.

Question Transwoman looking for hairstyle advice

Post image
48 Upvotes

Hi, I am a Transwoman and when I grew out my hair and it reached my shoulder, I got my first femme haircut. The stylist and my elder sister said a bob hair with bangs and a middle parting would suit me and pair well with my earrings (I usually like to wear long, dangling ones)

I kindof like my new hair but I want my bangs to look more like that of British actress Jameela Jamil (on the left)

My bangs are parted in the middle (just like the rest of the bob) but not sure if it is a density issue or I need to ask my stylist to cut it differently?

Help Hair Extensions Help *Update*

Hi everyone! For starters I want to thank everyone so much for commenting and helping my understand my situation and also validating the very obvious fact that they were done badly by the hair salon. I ended up contacting them and going back to the salon in which the hairstylist did a lot of layering and thinning to blend the hair. When I left I thought it looked a lot better but after taking a photo of the back straight after as well as after I showered and blow dried my hair I am still unhappy :( I have attached both photos of my hair after the second haircut below. I ended up sending the hair salon a message expressing how unhappy I was and this was their response/solution, is this fair? I am honestly not sure what to do going forward from here and just feel very sad and embarrassed about my hair. I feel like if they remove them my hair is gonna look terrible because of all the hair that was cut to make them blend. Please let me know what you think and what I should do, I really really appreciate it!

I'm not sure which hair color best suits me. I've had blonde/vivids for about six years, and I'm starting to wonder if going back to dark brunette is the better choice for me. I think I'm blind to what looks best.

Question Is the back of my head flat or is it just a haircut/styling issue?

I feel like my head looks flat from the side/back and I'm not sure if it's just the shape of my head or a styling/haircut issue. I've wondered if it could be just the length my hair is at, the layering, or even my posture or something, but I feel like it just might be the shape of my head, which is visible in pic 2 with my hair wet. Would love any help or opinions, I always wear it up in a clip because of how it looks when its down 😢

Hi there! My 9 year old daughter’s hair is growing out and I’m looking for some suggestions on how to properly care for it. More specifically: how to train a middle part, what products are recommended for thick slightly coarse hair, and generally any tricks on how to ensure her hair is the healthiest it can be so she can finally grow it out. TIA!

What does everyone think looks best on me? I included the reference picture I used for ChatGPT and also a photograph of my current hair! I have been getting highlights for a few years and I feel as if my hair is just now very light and a mess of different highlights and tones. Should I go way darker or should I try to just define my highlights a bit more?

Question is my hair naturally wavy or did it dry like this?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

my hair always looks wavy at the ends, but i wash my hair at night and sleep with it wet (i know i shouldn’t do this but i don’t have much time to dry it because i work a lot) so could it be that my hair is naturally wavy, or is it like this because it maybe changes on my pillow.
my hair looks bad most of the time as i don’t really pay much attention to my appearance, as if im honest im working most of the time right now. But I’m starting a new job in a bit where i can work less and so i will have more time to focus on looking better, and so i could make my hair look better if i know this stuff 😭
