Do’s and Dont’s After a Bad Hair Cut

 Bad haircuts are one of life’s inescapable nuisances. Especially if you’re not doing your research on our stylist. If you’re lucky, you experience one in early childhood (thanks for the bowl cut and baby bangs, mom) and never again. If, however, you’ve been hit with a later-in-life haircut catastrophe the damage can seem borderline unbearable. When a bad haircut hits remember these do’s and don’ts.
Do take a deep breath and relax.
After getting what you think is a bad haircut, my first piece of advice is to live with it for a few days. What you got from your haircut may not be what you originally had hoped for, but this might be that chance for an impromptu change. Play with it, change up your style, buy a new shirt, or put on bold lip color … See what happens. Lipstick to fix a bad haircut? It really is the miracle cosmetic.
Don’t go crazy trying to overcompensate.
If it truly is a disaster, don’t try and over work it. A lot of people panic and try to put in extensions or color it, but what ends up happening is you stress out your hair more than necessary.”
Do make micro-trims part of the plan.
I also recommend making a plan with your stylist with a goal in mind. If there is a look you want, make a plan and start growing towards that goal. Micro-trims are amazing! New vocabulary word alert: micro-trim! Find a master stylist, like myself, that you can trust and make subtle tweaks here and there to get your hair back into the shape you want.”
Don’t try going to every stylist under the sun.
Another important piece to remember: don’t jump from stylist to stylist (to stylist). First of all, it’s exhausting, and it could throw off your style even more“ We all have a million different ways to get to that same result and one may contradict the other. One stylist’s technique may throw off the others, ending in a bad haircut. If you are looking for a new stylist, book a consultation or a blow out and see if you have the same vision.”
Do put things into perspective.
Trite as it may sound, remember it is just hair and it will grow back. In the meantime, hair health is always paramount. Keep your locks in tiptop shape and any style (even if it’s not the one you wanted) will look better.
