    Default Crying for my hair

    Ever get a really awful haircut that makes you question your will to live?

    I tell myself it's just hair, but jesus. I asked for a couple pink streaks, and...well it turned into such an awful, purple mess...and it wasn't a couple streaks, it was basically my whole head of hair.

    And somehow the trim I asked for--- she took off like four inches of my precious hair! I can see why it's such a biblical big deal. My hair! My hair! It's all layered in this brutal way...it's just...awwwwful.

    So I've currently got some drug store brown dye on top. I had to cover the colour. I'm so sad. I really loved my hair. I tell myself that humility is a good thing. It's good to feel like a wretch sometimes- cuts down on hubris, etc. But oh god...I'm such a baby. But I really was so attached to my long, blonde locks...

    Oh, I'll get over it soon enough. The "pink" was temporary, so under the brown, it should fade. I've dyed my hair drug store brown on top of the blonde before, and that also fades fast because the blonde is so porous. I know within a few months I can get my original colour safely back, and the length will come back in a year at the most (my hair fortunately grows like a weed). But such rationality is of little consolation at the moment.

    End of rant!

    What did you tell the hair dressers when you got it done?? I would of told them that this is no good and will not be paying for it until they fixed it. Hair is precious especially to a girl. Don't forget that hair grows and it wont be long before it will be back to normal until then try to look on the bright side. I'm sorry you had a bad hair due experience

    I think the dye in my hair is making me feel depressed and its still not totally done yet but I know I'm going to hate it.

    Aww sweetie, I know how traumatic that can be! I have had my hair butchered before too. I actually broke down crying. You know that it will eventually be ok, but that doesn't help right now. Just know that plenty of other women have been there too.

    Yeah, I'm totally wussing out right now. It looks terrible. I want to crawl into a whole and see no one for a month. I'm being dramatic, but really, I can't look in the mirror without bursting into tears.

    Before, in happier, blonder times...and now. Duh duh duhhhh.

    Anyway, I'm at my mom's right now, and she is all "suck it UP", so I'll come back tomorrow and apologize, no doubt. I'm going to try to style it...just these stupid bangs...Sorry. I'm going to spend the evening mirror free, and hopefully the guy I'm seeing won't quit me tomorrow.

    aww too bad u dyed it brown.u could have gotten the color removed alot easier even if it's a permanent color.go to a salon and see if they can still remove the dye.if they can remove it great, if they cant wait about 2 weeks and get an all over color like black and get the cut fixed.u r very pretty so dont worry too much about ur hair.u can make ur new cut work for u

    Okay, now it can start - it's not THAT bad. I do like the blond better, but you're still pretty (if very, very sad looking). You don't need a shame hole. And you KNOW I'd tell you if you did.

    YESSSS!!!! I did! It was about 15 years ago, but I still remember the horror. I was totally devastated. I got soooooo drunk that night at work that I completely blacked out, had no recollection of getting home at all, was sick all night, slept on the bathroom floor....OH, it was bad! (Hopefully you haven't abused your liver as bad as I did behind an overly enthusiastic, under-experienced hairdresser's work!)

    For awhile, I just wore my hair in a ponytail. Then, about a month later, I got a perm (this was about 1991, remember, when a perm was still an acceptable thing to do to your hair) and I LOVED IT!!!!

    It was the only time in my life that I absolutely ADORED my hair. It was perfect, the hair I've always wanted: soft and wavy and thick-looking....For about two weeks. Then, like an idiot, I went and got blonde highlights, and they pulled it through a cap (remember that procedure? Nobody does that anymore, do they? Everyone uses foils now). And for whatever reason, the bleaching completely fucked up the perm and I didn't like the color and I was so incredibly sad. But then I moved to Alaska and started having too much fun to care.

    So that's my story.

    I still don't understand why that perm came out so good...it never happened before or since. It might have had something to do with the haircut, though.

    So....you could get a perm. Or move to Alaska. Either way, this too shall pass. Hope you're feeling better.

    Ma cherie! I concur, it's not that bad. The blond does look better, but I'm going to call you on posting a specifically unflattering brunette photo. C'mon now, at least smile!

    While brunette, you just need to change things up a bit...some bronzer, darker eye makeup. DON'T do what every blonde-who-goes-brunette does and start wearing ghastly bright red lipstick (yeah, I know I do it, shut up, natural brunettes have the skin tone for it!).

    It isn't the end of the world. And if your guy ditches you, well duh, he sucks!

    PS, when I first started dancing, I had butt length hair. Then, one night, I cut it short like a boy. Not flaterring. I danced (until it grew out) with boy hair that didn't suit me, and then another 6 months or so ponytail only...if I can recover from that, surely this isn't so bad!

    Your cut looks hot. It looks current.

    I do like you blonde though.

    Molly, I think you look fabulous as a blonde, but it's because you look so much happier being one. The magnetism is all about the smile in that photo.

    The brunette look may suit you, but you look like you want to gouge out the eyeballs of the photographer with your thumbs. Not so attractive.

    And I say that being hopelessly devoted to brunettes. Well, OK, one incredible one in particular.

    Prediction: your guy will shield you from your vulnerability, help you laugh all this off and grow used to the new color in about a day.

    I feel for you!

    I posted a few months ago about going in for a trim for my long hair (middle of my back), and the hairdresser going "oops" and cutting it up to between my chin and shoulders...and even that little length was layered all over the place, so I couldnt even put it up.

    I felt like I lost any attractiveness I had. My hair was my best feature. It made me striking and added fashion (even in t-shirt and jeans, my long hair made me glamorous looking). So when it was short, i felt gawky, plain, and blegh.

    I decided to suck it up, went to a dollar store and bought tons of hair bands (the big fat satin ones), barrettes, clips, bobby pins, and rollers. I spent a whole day playing with my hair in different styles, and while I didn't love it as much as my long hair, I did learnt o like it a good deal, and it was cute change for a while.

    In the meantime, I took Biotin and other hair supplements like its my job (my hair grows extremely slowlydue to my anemia...maybe an inch or so a year), and babied the heck out of it...staying away from heat products, using deep conditioners, trimming just the ends (by myself lol) every few weeks...and now my hair is past my shoulders and in great condition.

    Think of it as a chance to get your hair good and healthy again, play around with some accessories, and it might be a good change for a few months

    Ok, it looks better today. I still desperately miss my blonde and my length. But anyway. I took your advice Scarlett- with bronzer and darker make-up it looks waaayyy nicer. Definitely a different look, and I'm still sad, but I can live with it for a little while I suppose.

    So sorry to hear about this, I just kinda skimmed thru this thread. If you're not happy I would def. demand your $ back, then go somewhere else that specializes in color correction. I had a similar exp. a couple yrs. ago, & I had had my hair done many times in the same salon. If they didn't give me a refund I would have gone higher to complain, in my case Better Business Bureau or the state agency that regulates this type of thing.

    I bet it looks great. Could we get an updated pic with a smile?

    I think it's a really nice reddish brown that makes your eyes pop. I would keep it if I were you.

    Within a few days, you'll love it! Sometimes, change is hard to accept but oftentimes once we get over it we like it better than what we had before!!!

    Personally, I think the dark color suits your skin tone much better

    I've been there, I cried once after my stylist cut off only two inches of hair! But I think your new cut/color looks nice, and it'll be long and blonde again before you know it. Maybe a makeup shopping spree will make you feel better?

    I don't think your hair looks as bad as you're saying it is. Just look at it this way, at least your hair grows back fast (im assuming) I got my hair cut when I was in the 8th grade and it took 4 years for it to get back long.
