Last Wednesday I booked myself in for a haircut with a hairdresser that I've been to a couple of times, she's a great colourist and I usually like her.
The last cut I had (December) she too about 3 inches off my bra strap length hair. It's fair, fine and quite brittle and to be honest needed a good chop but it was still past my shoulders snd looked great.
This time she asked how much I wanted off and I replied ' oh about an inch', she replied 'is that all? ' and looked surprised, I thought maybe the ends were in worse condition than I thought and said 'we'll take off what you think it needs, but not too short as if it's above my shoulders it flicks out'
She did the cut, we had a conversation about me being outdoorsy, and low maintenance so she knows I'm not up for a daily blow dry.
Anyway it looked good though s bit shorter than I expected. Now though I've washed it twice since and it's nowhere near my shoulders 
the ends are all Flicky-outy and I've just spent an hour with my BBH trying to keep them in - I failed. I'm going for a night out feeling crap with my hair in a pony tail.
I don't suppose it's worth saying anything as there's nothing she can do is there? I just have to wait 6 months for my shit hair to grow out

I don't own a hairdryer (hence using the BBH which I keep for special occasions.) I cycle to work and shower there then leave to dry naturally. I'm off out now to a dance (with my hair in a clip ) so will post again tomorrow.
I have two weddings and a ball in the next 6 weeks and really wanted to look nice as I'm a bit heavier than usual. Now I just feel like a fat frump
Yes thanks everyone. I'm wondering if I should go back and ask for layers - currently a blunt Bob - my hair is very fine but maybe this would add styling options?
Sorry if I sound a bit dramatic - was in tears earlier after an hour of fruitless styling. My hair grows so slowly and I'd been so clear - was really looking forward to the upcoming events so any salvage options much appreciated 
No worries Nillla, about an hour after you posted today. As usual I didn't get what I asked for despite numerous pics which hairdresser said all looked the same and would be easy. Somehow still got something different. Seriously it must be me! I do quite like it anyway I think...time will tell.
Sunshine, I completely get your frustration and hope you find something that works for you. Layers helped my fine hair but do need more maintenance, which means more dreaded hair dresser visits. 
. Hope you had a lovely night last night.

Yes I'm wondering if I should go back and get layers cut in - at least then I could muss it up a bit and give it some texture....
Glad yours worked out Java
