New haircut looks awful

It’s made my face look so fat. It’s been cut really short around my face and I look terrible. Is there anything I can do?

Oh I did this when I was around 15, I cried for days! Can it be tied up at all? Even just the top half to take it away from your face a little.

i have a fringe wig you can borrow

It can’t be tied back now as the front layers are so short. It really is awful Sad

Clip in extensions?

Extra contouring make up for a week or so? Sorry to hear about this!

Hair clips/ Kirby grips to sweep it back from your face

Lemonsqueasy · 12/04/2019 16:17

Maybe a hairband? Can be really flattering, with some strands left in front (ie not all pulled back)

I am fat of face and look like a pink marshmallow if the hairs too short around it. I feel your pain.

I’ve taken to tying my hair up in scarves for such situations. 100% cotton and a large size will do it.

Head band?

Pinkarsedfly · 12/04/2019 16:39

Let’s have a look. I bet it’s nowhere near as bad as you think.

Go back and complain? You may get a refund or something

Turban style headband from Anthropologie TIL it grows back a bit. I’ve been there.

Springandsummertime, are you Fleabag's sister Claire?

whotheeff · 12/04/2019 21:11

@cinnamontoast exactly what came to mind. I look like a pencil...

I'm in same boat. Went to my local salon the other day, its my own fault though because I agreed to some layers, now I have shorter length sides than back length. I will never have layers again! So far I've tried waving it slightly to blend in the layers, which doesn't look to bad, but i cba to be doing that all the time. Will just have to wait it out until it grows down. And I have an extremely round face too.
