Do you wanna hear the good news or the bad news first?
I wanna end on a good note, so let’s get the unpleasantries out of the way, shall we?
I got my hair cut yesterday for the first time in a year. Before……….
My hair was just past the bra strap. I am not quite 5’2″, so when my hair is that long it drags me down and makes me look even shorter. Not only was it getting hard to manage but now that the temps are getting warmer out I needed to lighten it up a bit.
Fun fact: When I was in high school my hair was long enough for me to sit on, and it was curly, so you can imagine how much longer it would have been if it were straight! (I have no way of scanning photos right now or I’d show you, it really was ridiculous.)
So anyway, I got it cut yesterday and I’m really disappointed. The girl who cut my hair seemed like she had never cut bangs before, I was really kind of confused watching her cut it. Well…here’s the after…..
This is what I asked for, I even brought this picture with me….
Yeah…um…not even close. It’s fine though, I’m gonna let it grow out a bit and try again.
Ok, let’s talk about good news!
So do you remember that Jeff got in an accident a few weeks ago? His car is out of the shop!
Here’s the before…
And after!
Ahhh! It looks brand new! 😀
I was all upset about my haircut and then I heard the news that Jeff’s car was all better and that snapped me right out of it!
Hair will grow back, but a car is harder to replace. All it took was a little perspective to make me feel better. Now, on to the weekend!
I actually thought your hair looked cute in the after photo. But, I can totally relate to not getting the haircut you had in mind. I got what I called a “nightmare haircut” as a senior in high school…the day before yearbook pictures were taken…two days before the homecoming dance. It was awful. I had to wear the front 1/3 of my hair up in a barrette for the ENTIRE school year. I could cry just thinking about it.
I love your perspective and positive thinking.

Sorry that happened on such a crucial day! I got a bad bang-trim on my wedding day, so I know how you feel! I’ve also gotten an accidental mullet before, yikes!
My last haircut was really bad too. Thank God it has finally grown out!

Honestly, I really love your haircut! Yes, not exactly like the picture, but in my opinion your bangs look even better — they seem less likely to feel “heavy” and get in your way. I’m a big fan of bangs, but my hair is super coarse and completely unmanageable and they just don’t work for me. Maybe you’ll like the cut better after you’ve styled it yourself?
Honestly, I think you look good. Also, I noticed that immediate hair cuts don’t usually look good. You need to wait for a while for your hair to “grow into place”. I think in a few months, your bangs will grow a little more, and you’ll look even better.
Honestly, I think you look gorgeous in the after shot! And you’ve reminded me that I desperately need a haircut too… it’s split-end central on my head 😉

It looks good but I think that if you took it up a few more inches and made it all one length it would look awesome. You are cute enough to rock anything
