When A Bad Haircut Happens: What to do!
You went to the hair salon, asked for the perfect new and trendy hairstyle, and walked away in tears. You now look in the mirror and miss your beautiful, long, perfectly trimmed hair.
Don't worry: We've all been there at some point. Your hair will grow, and you know it better than anyone else, but it still sucks to see your new haircut!
You are in the right place. We will review some tips to help you cope with the stress you are feeling right now. At the end of the day, all you can do is embrace it and move on. But there are some tips to make the process better and we have put together some of the best tips to cope with the so called ‘Bad Haircut’.
First, Take a Deep Breath & Sleep on It
Everything looks better after a long and restful night. Stop looking at your new look for a few hours, sleep peacefully, and confront yourself in the mirror the following morning. How do you feel? Any better by chance?
We tend to exaggerate or aggravate our problems by hyper-fixating on them. Mornings shed new light on things, and you can go on with your day without feeling so bad!
Why not Pay a Second Visit to the Salon
Sometimes, no matter how much you try, you still can't rock the hairstyle. You've tried it all, but the only thing you want to do is scream from the top of your lungs. You can do it - We don't judge here.
But it may be worth paying a second visit to your hairdresser and expressing your concerns. These professionals can surely do something to recover your beautiful hair. If it was a new hair salon, and now you don't trust them, go back to your safety one!
BECOME ONE, Own and Embrace it
We hate to be the ones bringing this up, but... Do you remember Britney Spears in 2007? Though the situations are different because you didn't have a breakdown before, you can mimic her behaviour after the haircut.
She owned that she had shaved her head, and she went on to live her life as if nothing had happened. Being that brave makes others respect you. So next time you go out, walk and act like you rock the world with your new hairstyle - Chances are you do.
IF YOU CAN, Wear it Up!
If it's too short, or you don't like the bangs, wear your hair up for a few days. You can use this extra time to get used to it. If you still don't, wear it up until the hair grows back to normal.
Buns, braids, and ponytails can be so classy and fun. If you've never played around with your hair and these styles, it may be time to start doing so.
Try Stimulating & New Products
Now that your hair is (hopefully) fresh and healthy, it can be the perfect time to stimulate growth and play around with new products. Not only will this help your hair return to normal, but you'll also feel better because you will be caressing it.
It's all psychological, you see. When you take care of your hair, you will accept it as part of you instead of an enemy. Self-care is vital in every aspect of your body. Vitamins, massages, and healthy products will help rebuild gorgeous hair!
Be a HALF full kind person, remember Someone Had it Worse.
It may be awful to feel better because others have it worse than you, but bad haircuts are everywhere. As we mentioned in the first paragraphs, unfortunately, we've all been there.
But guess what? We all made it through. It means some weeks or months of "bad hair days," but eventually, your head will be the same again. And you still are the same person - Nothing changes due to color or length.
All Hairstyles are Fine
Next time you go out, look at the people around you. You'll see short hair, long hair, bangs, exposed forehead, blonde, brunette, red, blue, bald, etcetera.
Everyone rocks a different style, and that's okay. Part of being human is experimenting with ourselves and being different. You may hate your new look, but that's partly because you are not used to it. Someone who sees you for the first time may think you look great!
