Another awful haircut (pics)

Why can't I find a haircut / hairdresser that doesn't make me look like a 60 yr old with a mullet. So annoyed. I asked for something similar to Kate Silvertons hair but got this 😭

Honest opinions please whilst I cry and wait another 12 weeks for it to grow a bit.

I think it looks lovely. It’s shit when you don’t feel that way though. Give it a couple of weeks, it will change a lot quickly.

Iamtheresurrection · 09/05/2018 21:18

Do you just need to put some product through it and mess it up a bit?

TheMasterNotMargarita · 09/05/2018 21:18

I like the front but the crown is too pouffy and the back is too long. I'd have the back really cropped.

Dermymc · 09/05/2018 21:19

I like it.

pigtotwig · 09/05/2018 21:19

It looks really nice from the front! I'm not so keen on it being longer at the back - I would prefer it to be shorter at the back. But it's honestly not as bad as you think it is!

DereksGotATail · 09/05/2018 21:20

I'm not keen on the back but the front/top looks nice.

nancy75 · 09/05/2018 21:20

The front looks like it is ok but I think I would have the back cut shorter, I think that’s the bit that spoils it

Knittedfairies · 09/05/2018 21:20

It is Kate Silverton-esque though...

Judgementday · 09/05/2018 21:20

The back was left long in order to flick up which my hair naturally wants to do. It's not right though, looks like a mullet to me too, it's all wrong lengths I guess.

I’d have the back shorter too. It would look really nice then.

BettyPitts · 09/05/2018 21:24

Honestly? Yes it's a bit Rod Stewart.

I'd get the back cut really short and shaped really well then I'll look lovely.
The front is great and a very pretty colour

wishingitwasfriday · 09/05/2018 21:24

Kate silverton has a centre parting, hence why your cut looks different.
I do think it looks nice, you just need the back shortened a bit.

Polkadot1974 · 09/05/2018 21:25

Front is great but I’d also get the back shorter

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 10/05/2018 09:06

It's a good cut and looks very Kate Silverton to me.
Hers is very styled so to get that look you need to blow dry lots of volume into the roots, get some product into it to separate and define it and run your straighteners through the ends, turning the plates for a flicked out look.

You have gorgeous hair; great condition and colour.

BadTasteFlump · 10/05/2018 10:11

It looks like a decent cut to me (am a hairdresser).

But I agree that the crown is too 'pooffed' up - is that pic after the hairdresser blow dried it? Sometimes hairdressers can't resist giving everybody loads of volume in the roots, but imo lots of styles don't need that and look better without - and imo that kind of blow dry can be quite ageing. I would wash it, try moving the parting more towards the centre, and giving it more of a rough blow dry. See how the natural movement of your hair works with the new cut, then tweak with some straighteners to make the ends more defined.

QueenDandelion · 10/05/2018 12:06

Yes agree it's the back that's the problem - it's actually a lovely short haircut with a mullet stuck on the back. Get another hairdresser to trim and shape the back in, and try a product like B&B Brilliantine to give it extra texture and shine. Wear with funky shades!

user1494670108 · 10/05/2018 12:20

I think the fronts great and would look really stylish if the back were chopped shorter

swimminginthesea · 10/05/2018 12:48

Agree with everyone else - it's really pretty from the front! Have the back cut into the nape of your neck, it'll sort the proportions out.

You've got the perfect hair for a cut like this, which I would have myself if I didn't have terrible, bushy hair.

Sevendown · 10/05/2018 13:32

Your hair doesn’t look asthink as her.
I bet she has extensions.

SparklySeashell · 10/05/2018 13:36

The front is lovely! It's just the back that needs sorting, I agree with Swimming you'd suit that type of hairstyle

clothcollector · 10/05/2018 17:29

nothing to add other than its nothing like rod stewart!

Dandeliontea123 · 10/05/2018 17:33

The front is nice. The back is ok - a bit bulky, maybe.
I came on this thread expecting to see something far worse! Don’t cry, OP.Flowers

neveradullmoment99 · 10/05/2018 18:49

I think it looks lovely :) I don't think the top is that puffed up. I think its very pretty!

neveradullmoment99 · 10/05/2018 18:50

Its nothing like a mullet!

neveradullmoment99 · 10/05/2018 18:51

..and your hair colour is gorgeous and really shows off the layers. Honestly, it looks really nice.
