I look like a fucking hedgehog

I had my hair cut short in summer - it looked fabulous Smile and I've still been pleased with every cut since. Until today.

I now look like a frumpy middle aged woman with the obligatory menopausal haircut instead of a youngish 47 year old with funky, cool short hair.

Yes, I know it will grow, but I feel like not stepping out in public til it does. I feel hugely exposed with a fringe half way up my forehead - never mind the risk of people seeing the angry red psoriasis patches on my hairline.

Hairdresser said she gets scared using the clippers, that cutting my hair makes her arms ache, that she's nervous of cutting my ear, and could I slump down in the chair because I'm too tall.

It's the end of another beautiful relationship Confused

Sorry it's long - I needed to get all that off my chest - dc are trying to be kind by saying it looks fine. It does NOT look fucking fine. I look like a man.Shock

I love the rescue haircut, I think it looks even better than the original. It really suits you.

Glad you're feeling better about it.

Love the new one! Better than the (first) original! You have the perfect face for that short short "do".

It looks lovely now it's been redone! Also Envy at your bone structure!

KarenHillavoidJimmyswarehouse · 14/12/2014 15:11

Oh the rescue cut is the best out of all 3 - it's fab! Make sure you book with the owner from now on!

Judi Dench is indeed amazing, but as a 47 year old, I don't want the same haircut as an 80 year old!

But thank you again for the positive comments Smile

Consider it more Jean Serberg then.... Smile

Judy Dench is a lovely looking woman no matter what age she is.

Milmingebag · 14/12/2014 19:55

Seberg even ffs

Fcukfifa · 14/12/2014 21:40

Totally agree the last haircut suits you the best out of all 3! Really young and fresh looking!

Greengardenpixie · 14/12/2014 22:03

Much nicer...even better so than your first cut in June! You really suit it!!

ArgentinianMalbec · 14/12/2014 22:47

You look lovely OP. The new rescue cut really suits you! I have those specs Wink

Sorry to go on about J Dench's but, though she is 80, her haircut - basically an excellent crop - would suit any age.

IrishBloodEnglishHeart · 15/12/2014 10:17

Judi Dench looks great. As good now as she ever did I think.

AmeliaPeabody · 15/12/2014 11:15

I think the rescue cut is almost as nice as the original. Phew!

Goodness me to the the second cut! I don't think that would have suited anybody.
