Help! I look like a lego man

I was unfaithful and cheated on my hairdresser. It was the promise of cheaper cuts in the convenience of my own home that did it. I have a baby and a toddler and was in need of a good hair cut. Gah!

I've learned my lesson and won't ever be doing that again but I don't know what to do now. I asked for one length hair just above shoulder length. I have dark hair and did have ombré but that was mostly cut out.

What I go was an uneven jaw length blunt as you like cut, seriously it's so blunt that when you touch the bottom of it, it feels like a shaving brush. It's hideous and a terrible cut. When my hair doesn't fall into the parting it was cut in, there are huge long pieces that fall over the bottom of the blunt cut.

My hair is fine but I have lots of it. It's dark and now it's just one length, much too short, cut just below my jaw. I can't even put it up.

What should I do? My hair grows quickly which is one saving grace. Do I grow it so that I can put it up and then get it styled properly or do I do something with it now? Anyone have any ideas?

Can you get some shorter layers cut in and shape it more into a short bob?

Can you afford to get it done asap? This is what you risk by being an unfaithful hussy Grin. Do you feel you can go back to your first love hairdresser and confess? Or go somewhere else, on recommendation, preferably from someone whose style you like, and not dissimilar hair to yours.

I will have to go back to my normal hairdresser and fess up but I just don't know at what point. I hate not being able to put my hair up. Baby DD has particularly bad reflux so I'm constantly being thrown up on. It would be nice to get it out of the way. I'm scared that shorter layers with prolong the lego man experience.

Just tell your hairdresser that you didn't have time to come got a cut before you went on holiday and then got desperate so had some dodgy cut abroad Wink

Visit your normal stylist and just invent a younger cousin or friends niece who is a trainee hairdresser who you let have a go on your hair out of the goodness of your heart.
