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

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).

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.

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.

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.
