I had a fringe cut and it looks crap

[BobLoblaw]

Gah, I'm just going to have to wait for it to grow aren't I? Is there anything at all I could do to salvage it? Never really worn clips etc, my sister lent me a head band but I looked even more ridiculous. Feck.

What sort of fringe? A blunt straight across type or a sidey type one?

Is is worth having it trimmed again? My stylist is really crap with my fringe (but great at everything else) so I end up trimming it myself.

Are you sure it looks crap? maybe it's too wispy or maybe it won't sit right as it's used to being parted in hte middle?

I used to have a side fringe thing but I decided to try a full fringe, gah, it won't sit right but I think it will look even worse any shorter. If I could find my camera I would try to do a photo.

How quickly does hair grow?

I had a crap fringe cut in last week. I was devastated for a day and then I dug out the hair wax (a dry one- not a greasy one.) and now I have changed my parting and swept it to the side.

Looks great. Even if i do say so myself!

do you have straigteners? Would they help?

bethjeff, what wax did you get, I have a new side type fringe that just will not behave and hubbys wax makes it look like it is in need of a good wash!

Are you sure it looks crap and not just that you're not used to it? Photo would be very handy.

How's the rest of your hair? Is it a 'solid' fringe or layered? A bit of soft, short layering can work wonders...

Also, I'll take a while for the hair follicles to adjust to being sent in a different direction IYSWIM. It'll almost certainly sit better in a couple of days.

Oh no. I did that in October! Well actually the hairdresser gave me a side fringe that was doing my head in so I went home and chopped it into a blunt fringe . I was going for the Claudia Winkleman look and thought it would suit me but I ended up spending about 5 months with it clipped back with a kirby grip.

DH couldn't stop PHSL!

I have a blunt fringe until it gets a bit long and then I have a side fringe until it really is time to get the rest of my haircut too! To make my side fringe stay where it should be, I just make sure I dry it to the side (e.g. blast the hairdryer across my fringe, rather then straight down). It stays where it should quite perfectly then
