Ugh, my stupid hairdresser cut off all of my hair (more than 30cm!) at the weekend, I have ended up with short hair now by total surprise and I hate it. It doesn't look that bad but I am just ANGRY because I was thinking that I would have my nice long hair for all the Christmas parties that are coming up. Did anyone else cut off their hair by mistake and end up liking it? Or, how long did it take to grow back?! <rolls eyes> |

Sorry I posted the whole sorry story on another board, this is what happened: Went to the hairdresser on Saturday, he'd cut my hair twice before and both times said how nice it was (which is kind of flattering but beside the point now!) It was around bra-strap length, dark, straight, shiny. I wanted 2 or 3 inches off. When he first started the cut he handed me the first piece of hair he snipped off, it was only about 2 inches long (the strand he cut off not the length of my hair left!) Soon after that his sister came in (she doesn't work there) and he excused himself to go and speak to her quickly, I was just reading a magazine so I didn't really mind and anyway he came back a couple of minutes later and go on with the cut again. Then a bit later I looked up into the mirror when he was re-positioning my head and I caught sight of a big heap of dark hair somewhere behind me. I never dreamt that it had come off my own head, though (the salon was pretty busy) and I thought to myself, wow, someone's going REALLY short! But you know how sometimes you look in a mirror and get the distances all wrong? So near things seem far away and vice versa? Well, I'd done that: eek. Slow as you like I cottoned on to what was happening, my fingers flew up to the back of my head and he nearly chopped off one of them! But that was not before I had felt my newly cut short hair and a big space where my long hair used to be all over my neck. The only bits left bra-strap length were the two uncut sections on either side of the front of my head, which were still combed forward over my shoulders. I was stunned. All I could remember was the feel of the short hair and my eyes were glued to the piles of wet hair fallen all over the floor. Well, my hairdresser had no idea what was going on, bless him, I think he thought I'd gone crazy. (I had!) I said, what on earth have you done? His face was all confused......well, it turned out that he'd cut someone's hair in the morning that was the same colour and similar length to mine and they had wanted a bob. So he'd trimmed the first section of my hair then unpinned the next one over the top, gone off to say hello to his sister and come back, got mixed up and started cutting the bob. So by that point he was practically finished so he had to finish up and cut the other long hair even with the short parts. That was the horriblest part - you know how wet hair is really heavy? Suddenly he moved the scissors across my face and this huge chunk of hair dropped down into my lap, then he did the same the other side, ugh. I was actually shuddering at that point. Well, luckily (!) he'd cut up just to my neck, which means that my hair ended up a tiny bit past the bottom of my ears, but IT'S STILL SOMEONE ELSE'S HAIRCUT! I'm annoyed because that was my longest-ever length (well, since I was much younger) and I'd been growing my hair for two years! I wanted it all long and pretty for Christmas parties next month and my birthday next week. Oh and I still forget that I have short hair whenever I go to brush it or whatever and when I wake up in the morning I am always alarmed to find no hair around me on the pillow. No more hairdresser trips for me for the foreseeable future, anyway! Beware, everyone!! |

| I don't understand how you could just sit there when the inches started coming off! I would have yelled, "STOP!" or something. I hope you didn't pay for it, however, if you didn't say anything while he was cutting away then I guess you'll have to learn to live with it. BTW, how could he "mistake" you for someone else??? I'd get another stylist if I were you. |

If having long hair for holiday parties is important to you, you can always buy a wig, or get extensions. But you did say it doesn't look bad as it is, so maybe you'll like it after you take some time to get used to it? I've had a few hair length accidents, but nothing that drastic. (My hair is usually pretty short, anyway, so it can recover from most things pretty quickly.) I usually just try to make the best of things until it gets better. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

I wonder if this is on the level? Reads a bit like a tall story. Also, Trophywife (odd name!) lives in France, so maybe there was a language problem too?(if there's any truth in it, of course!) She seems to emphasize the mistake as a big one, but deep down doesn't seem phased by it at all. Sorry if I'm misreading things here, but this is the impression I get. |

Hey, I don't actually live in France, I live in an island just off the coast of Brittany. Both English and French are spoken here; the nearest place listed on this site is France. There was no language barrier, though, as I am bilingual! It was just a horrible mistake. I was gutted when it happened, I think I look much worse now than before, but there's not a lot I can do now and I am quite a philosophical, optimistic person in general so I guess you are right to say that I am not too phased by it. At the end of the day it's only hair. My hair also seems to have grown a little already! It's a bit messy around the back now where the really short hair has started to grow out, so that has cheered me up A LOT. |

I would love to see before and after pictures. What style is your new, though, unwanted style?

I have a before picture but I don't know how to post it on here? Certainly not going near a camera until it grows A LOT more! New style is a bob, chin length, quite blunt but slightly flicky, a bit like Cameron Diaz's in Something About Mary, if that makes sense. |

Thanks. I've been considering extensions, and my hairdresser said that he would get the guys at his salon to do them for free, but I've always thought that extensions look a bit chavvy, I would rather have my own boring short hair than ratty-looking extensions like Victoria Beckham!
Me too - I'm trying! I'm not too devastated, it was just a mega b*tch having this happen right before Christmas and my birthday. |

You poor thing... I think long hair support might be a better board to post this in though. This forum is for people who admire short hair so you'll probably get the wrong kind of encouragment. I'd hate if I spent years growing my hair very long, and someone just takes that away from me. |

Hey I'm sure with Your natural beauty You look beautiful, even with short hair. But I do know the worry You have. I've cut my own hair super short many times, only to regret it. I look better with medium short, to medium length hair. God Bless, Bye for now! ------------- Katie ;) |

No problem Trophywife! I'm here for everyone, especially those like myself who are(I really am) self consious about pictures especially with shorter hair, at first,etc. I know what I do, is focus on things and people who make me feel happy! I express sincere positive energy, I feel because I'm a strong believer in Jesus, and Jesus, Loves us all unconditionally, no matter what, never forget that!

Hi Trophywife I can totally understand you not wanting photos taken with short hair, I was the same when I had mine short. And mine was a mistake too, but only because I asked them to do it and then regretted it like 5 seconds after And I don't think you're a troll, by the way ------------- |
. Hang on in there, it will grow again. In the meantime try and enjoy having short hair, you will probabaly never have it again, so have some fun with it

Thanks Trophywife 2 years to get to "now". I have had extensions too though. If you're really missing long hair, I would say go for it with extensions, you have nothing to lose and if you don't like them you can always have them taken out again. ------------- |

Do you have extensions in now? How long can hair grow in two years - about 10 inches? I guess that's without trimming, though. Your hair does look great in the photo, I am envious. ------------- Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. |

Hal - originally I went very short, then grew it out into a bob and then just let it grow. Trophywife - no I don't have extensions now. My hair does grow quite fast and I take my vitamins, which may or may not help ------------- |

Which vitamins are best for encouraging hair growth? I eat pretty healthily, tonnes of fruit and vegetables, but I don't eat any meat or dairy, will this affect it? ------------- Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. |

Make sure you get lots of protein from things like beans and nuts, if you don't eat meat or dairy! Probably a good idea to take a basic multivitamin and get lots of exercise, too. I've heard a lot of people swear by biotin, but I don't have much more information than that. *shrugs* Not trying for a lot of growth, myself. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Hehe. I have just found out that there's going to be AGES of time until the wedding so hopefully the rush to grow my hair is less urgent. I have not heard of Aon Flux? ------------- Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life. |

I haven't seen the Aeon Flux movie, but from the pics and previews I've seen, Charlize Theron has a bob that's a lot longer at the front, in that movie. Even though that's not the style my hair is, that pic unintentionally makes it seem that way -_- . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |
