Dealing With a Bad Haircut

Have you ever gotten a bad haircut? I sure have. In fact, I have one right now. I went to my hair dresser and asked to get a few inches off and add in some layers, but instead of a few layers I got one big, chunky layer that is way to short. Sadly, you can't put the hair back, so you just have to deal until  it grows out. Here are my tips for dealing with a bad haircut:

See how the top layer is so thick and uneven.
 It is shorter on the left and the bottom layer is very thin.

1. Realize it will grow out. Hair does grow. You are not sentenced to life with bad hair, but it does take time. There are some tips and tricks out there that may help speed up hair growth, and I've found a few that actually help, so look for those in my upcoming posts.
2. Go to a different hair dresser and see if they can fix it. The day after I got my hair cut, I when to see a different hair dresser in town, and she helped blend out the layer. I still don't really like my hair, but she explained to me what had happened and what she could do to fix it. It is important to go to a different hair dresser because many times your original hair dresser can't see their mistakes.
3. Find a way to wear you hair that you like. It is really hard to find a way to wear you hair if you hate it, but it is doable. Curls, braids, bobby pins, pony tails, or anything else you can think of can help you hide your bad haircut. In fourth grade, I got bangs and they were way, way too short, so I wore them in a poof every day for about six months. With the haircut I have now, I've found that pinning back the front sections hides the chunky layers, along with sleeping with french braids and wearing it wavy the next day.
