I don’t think it looks shit but a shorter style (cut just above the blonde) would look amazing on you

GorgonzolaSouffle · 22/04/2021 08:25

Just looks like you need a good cut

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2021 08:25

I think it's fine and not at all shit but agree that a shorter style would look fabulous.

OldEvilOwl · 22/04/2021 08:26

The ends look thin. Get a few inches chopped off and it will look instantly better

jellyfishinatent · 22/04/2021 08:26

Looks like it needs a brush and a deep condition at a minimum

Mrgrinch · 22/04/2021 08:26

Needs a good cut as the ends don't look to be in very good condition. I'd move your parting over towards the centre slightly. The colour suits you.

3Britnee · 22/04/2021 08:28

It doesnt lookshit but I'd cut it to around collar bone length.

ladygindiva · 22/04/2021 08:28

I think you look great and I'd like your hair. Fwiw mines so in need of a cut it looks like Tina turner's in the mad max song video. Great on her, not so great on a middle aged white woman.

ImprobablePuffin · 22/04/2021 08:29

Listen, whatever anyone may say on here, you do NOT look shit! You are in the same boat as many of us who are dealing with 'lockdown locks'
If anyone comes along and isn't kind please don't take it to heart, I know you asked for opinions but honestly you're beautiful and no one else's words can take that away.

CornishPastyDownUnder · 22/04/2021 08:29

not at all-looks like most of the people i know hehe..maybe just an ends trim?

This is me, much longer and not purple but you get the gist. Sad Grin

DumplingsAndStew · 22/04/2021 08:36

It looks fine but I don't think the (pink) foundation is right for your skin tone Grin

UCOinanOCG · 22/04/2021 08:37

It looks a bit unkempt but not shit. You just need a decent haircut.

MikeWozniaksGloriousTache · 22/04/2021 08:38

I’d love your hair, mine is so thin and wispy and stops / falls out when it gets to my shoulders (and the top layer falls out when it reaches my ears so I’ve got a permanent mullet).

I think it needs a brush, a trim to take the scraggly ends off and a deep condition once a week but nothing drastic!

ladygindiva · 22/04/2021 08:40

Lol sparkling my hair is also bushy and wild
When I rang my hairdresser for my post lock down era appointment she sighed and said it'll be at least a double appointment 🤣 she can never believe how long it takes to give me a simple trim anyway, I think she's dreading it!

OuiOuiKitty · 22/04/2021 08:43

I dont think it looks shit. I'd move the parting closer to the middle and chop off a few inches though.

Londontown12 · 22/04/2021 08:43

Go shorter chop that blonde off ! It’s not shit but would look loads better xx x

Sparklingbrook · 22/04/2021 08:43

@ladygindiva apparently hair grows at 1cm a month. My hair did not get that memo, and seems to be growing longer AND wider. Next week it will all be sorted fingers crossed. Grin

Hoppinggreen · 22/04/2021 08:43

Well it could do with a cut but you aren’t alone in that
It doesn’t look shit though

toffeebutterpopcorn · 22/04/2021 08:44

It’s the school run! It’s nice and thick at the top, doesn’t look frizzy or greasy... maybe tie it back but it’s fine. A wee trim - but doesn’t we all need one?

Cocomarine · 22/04/2021 08:49

I wouldn’t say it looks shit, but it does look like lockdown happened.

badacorn · 22/04/2021 08:58

Yes (but looks better than mine at the moment)

Would look fine after being brushed and the ends need a trim but whose hair doesn’t at this point.

Winterbaby21 · 22/04/2021 08:59

I don't think it looks shit at all, mine is very similar.

I'm booked in next month to have my balayage refreshed after a year and a good trim.

Aprilx · 22/04/2021 09:01

It doesn’t look shit, but it looks a bit straggly. It also looks like it is nothing a good cut wouldn’t resolve.

YellowTwinklyStar · 22/04/2021 09:02

Looks fine, like you haven't had it cut for a bit, but lots of people are in that boat. I like the colour.
