HELP! USED TO HAVE LONG HAIR!

Ah, I used to have long hair, but not anymore, thanks to my goon of a hairdresser.  Ah, the poor guy, he confused me with another client and I got the wrong haircut.  How does that happen??  I think he felt worse than I did when we realised the mistake! 

Oh well.  I am hoping for some sympathy from you guys.  My hair was bra-strap length, it's dark, straight and quite shiny.  I get compliments pretty often (or used to get them - who compliments short hair?!  No one I know), which is sometimes a bit sleazy but usually well-meant and therefore very nice of people.  Now it's just under my ears.  I know how long it will take to grow back as I had hair about three inches longer than this nearly two years ago and I was at my longest-ever length just last week before THAT STUPID CUT.  (Grrr.)  That was with lots of trims, though.  I don't think I'll be having any more of them! 

But, seriously, is there anything scarier than seeing a whole huge pile of your own wet hair chopped off into a heap on the floor?  When you had no idea it was going to happen?  I've never been so alarmed in my entire life.

So be nice, I could use the sympathy! 

 

I'm betting its not as bad a s you think... do you have a picture?

Yeah, I hope you didn't pay for it.

And how did he confuse you with another client?  Don't you sit down and say, "I'd like a trim, please"?  I think as soon as I felt/saw him starting to snip that short I'd be like, "OKAY, STOP."

Anyway, there are lots and lots of perks to short hair.  I found that I could do a lot more experimentation with clips and bobby pins and actually have the style stay in.  I have no idea how to style my hair now that it's longer.  Shorter hair is also nice for winter because it dries a lot faster and you don't have to worry about messing it up with you put a jacket/scarf on.

And it will probably grow out faster than you think.  Now you can take a bunch of pictures as it grows out and be amazed!

So sorry to hear that trophywife (love your nick btw!)

Hey Dave.....I'm looking forward to what you have to say about this one!!!

Thanks everyone!  That was all very good moral support!

No, of course he didn't charge me for the cut, he seemed way more upset than I was!

Came into work today and everyone said it looks good but I just preferred it the other way.

Will try and get a photo over Christmas although fingers crossed it'll be getting longer by then...

I'd like to know how many times are you going to post this? This is the 3rd posting on this. It's hair.....it'll grow back!!!! IMO, if you sat there the whole time it was being chopped off and didn't say a word, then you shouldn't be looking for any sympathy. Seems to me it was your own fault. Get over it and move on!

? How comes?

I'm trying to get over it!

Thanks, Vicky :)

You should have made them give you hair extensions @ a heavily reduced price. It's only fair.

But yeah, I wouldn't suggest growing this one out, try and save up for extensions or get them to give it to you cheap.

Baker, long hair takes up to 3 years to grow. So it's not as easy as "Hair grows back". That's 3 years of her life she will miss out on having the self image she wishes she had. I can't think of anything more horrible.

I'm so glad I got over my fear of short hair and cut if off, because when it does grow back in a few years time, I know that it's not such a tragedy then.

But not everyone feels that way...

Still, it's better than having short hair if you don't want it. I'm thinking of getting extensions myself when I get bored of short hair.
