S.O.S.--The Worst Haircut Ever!!!!

you can give it a razored look with the scissors.  it will break things up a bit.  take a strand and a couple inches from the bottom cut down the length with the scissors.  you want the scissors to be skipping down the hair not cutting very much.  bumpcut two little strands, bump one, bumptwo more.  you have to roll each strand around doing this a couple times but it will definitely help give a razored look and break things up a bit.  Of course a razor is like five bucks if you want to put your ahir ina ponytaila nd run out to the BSS.

LOL! OK, girl, you really hacked at it, didn't you.

Bring it forward in two equal sections like you did in the bottom photo and make two straight cuts at the shortest length to get the hair all one length. That will give you a blunt cut straight across. You can then take your scissors and make little snips vertically into the hair to create a softer edge on the bottom.

Yeah we've all been there,lol.At least its long enough to fix.I've hacked at mine when it was short and its not quite so easy to fix or even hide,lol.I agree with amm.I use that method to trim my hair.If you dont mind losing a little length. Seems like I've had too many hair faux pas to count,lol.

By the way Jenny, Do you(or your hairdresser?) use a toner to get that nice shade or a white blonde semi/demi? I'm dying my hair blonde again.Strand tests have been very successful but dont know how to get it past the inside of banana peel stage.

Thanks girls! I'm going to give it another go. I don't know how wise it is for me to be weilding the scissors again, but hey...it isn't my real hair anyway.

LHD: Actually, I don't use any toner at all. I bleach the hell out of it with Feria 200 ot 205 for 30 minutes or so, and it comes up exactly this color. My hair's pretty light naturally though, so I don't think this would work for everyone, and it is *really* damaging.... For many years, I used a level 10 high-lift (one process, no powder bleach, Loreal Preference), which brought my hair very light too, but I did have some brassiness with that after a few weeks, so I would use Shimmer Lights to tone it down. I think it may've been a bit gentler than the Feria, but it caused a lot of damage long-term too.

I'm a bad person to ask about color though. My hair really is quite fried. I was seriously thinking of cutting everything off and starting fresh with a wig after I saw that pic of Kalika in the wig the other day. (Don't think it would look as good on me though).

:)  

I'm just glad to know there is someone else wearing my haircut...but I have to say it looks quite a bit better on you.   I finally bought a box of straight razor blades just to "peel" the ends.  Works pretty good really. 

Oh what a great link eKatherine!

how exactly are you supposed to use thinning shears? I have a pair but never really knew how to use them. Maybe a blonde thing......

use thinning shears( texurizers) grab a section of hair leaving about two inches  hanging, and use the thinning shears and snip into the hair, it will take out hair in the same sections as the teeth are.

dont i repeat, DONT use thinning shears on the top of your hair if you have thin hair, you will look like your balding!

(someone did that to me when i was in beauty school) i thought i was going bald.!!!

hiya, if you dont have a hair razor handy just take a disposable shaving raxzor and use that, its fine for synth hair :) just dont dig the razor in.

 

Thinning scissors -

you need to split your hair into quite large sections ( about 6) and just take a section, and well, basically take *1* chop in the middle of the length :) And thats it!

well looks a bit unven, yea. but i still think your hair is to die for! color and texture- you still look gorgeous
