Not sure if this is the right place for this.
At the weekend I had the worst hair cut of my life. I went in for a trim, asking her to take 2 cm off all over and came out with butchered locks. Previously I had thick, long, glossy hair that I was very proud of - now I have a thin, helmet-style monstrosity that makes me look like Velma from Scooby Doo. She did the back before hacking away at the rest of it - I asked her to stop as soon as I saw how much she was taking off the top and she started shouting at me that this was what I asked for.
I'm in Brussels where apparently they only know 4 different styles of haircuts and I ended up with
I had DS 7 months ago and was feeling the need to have somebody take care and fuss over me for just an hour - my appearance has taken a hammering what with pregnancy and baby sick and what not.
Spent Saturday morning actually hysterical when I saw the state of it and am still a little shaky about it.
I know in the scheme of things that having a bad hair cut rates pretty low, but it's really, really knocked my confidence about my appearance which was already taking a bit of a battering over the past year. Hair is now too short to do anything with - I loved putting it up before, having it curly or straight - now I can do literally NOTHING with it. I look absolutely, horrendously awful.
What can I do - has this ever happened to you? And how can I make it better?
Not sure why I'm posting really - just a plea to the ether to help me get a grip.
