Hair cut recommendations? With photos

[HotDogsJumpingFrogsILoveTurkey]

The hairdresser used too much bleach and then I used 2 box dyes over the top. It's breaking off so I need it cut.

The main photos show it blown dry straight which is quite easy. The close up shows it air dried. It tends to frizz.

I have a long face with a wobbly chin. I wear Deirdre Barlow glasses and need some sort of fringe to hide a growing widows peak and the hair line breakage. I am clearly very beautiful.

I've had an asymmetric bob which made my long face look even longer. I've had a pixie which looked amusingly bad and was a horror to grow out. I have had Natasha Kaplinsky hair that worked but is quite dated now. I'm rubbish at styling my hair and need to limit heat for a while.

So what would you stylish ladies recommend? I know I need to lose the length.

And can anything be done with the colour? It's very flat and looks home dyed iyswim. I used semi permanents but will further colours (done by the hairdresser!) just make my hair snap off completely? It doesn't feel fragile but obviously is.

Have you tried sleeping with a hair mask / treatment on ? Wrap your hair up in cling film or a shower cap , put a towel over your pillow etc , you might find intensive treatment will bring it back.

Long hair suits you btw.

Only bleach would cause it to snap further. Other box dyes etc won’t damage it further. Though to be honest, I don’t think it looks bad condition wise! Have you tried different treatments/pre treatments? Also, before you dry it do you use a serum/oil whilst it’s wet?

The colour looks great! A lovely, rich, natural looking brown. Sure, hairdressers do highlights and lowlights etc but it does always look like hairdresser-done hair. It's nice, but not better, if that makes sense?

It looks as if your hair would dry in a beautiful natural wave if you researched curly girl method. It's a great way to restore hair health too.

Wavy is very trendy right now, even sort of messy and frizzy - I've been waiting for this all my life😜

I would try a midi bob with a few layers, so it will work if you dry straight or scrunch some mousse in to air-dry. I have a long and sort of squishy face (a real oil painting me) and have that haircut, plus a curtain fringe, and find it suits my face pretty well. Oh and I have Deirdre specs too!

When I wash it, I have to be super, super careful or it mats together. The first time I washed it, I didn't realise and had to spend almost an hour and a whole bottle of conditioner pulling it apart again.

Peices snap off. They vary from 1/2 inch to 3inches. They are snapped, not coming from the root.

I have loads of snapped hair around my hairline and under my fringe. They aren't baby hairs.

I've tried a few different products/treatments. I spent all day in olaplex no 3 yesterday which my hair normally loves but it has made no difference.

So it is damaged, even if it doesn't look like it on the pics.

I did try curly girl for a while as I suspect my hair is quite curly and I LOVE curly hair. TBH even the pared down version was a lot of effort and my hair takes so long to dry that I just felt like I had wet hair constantly!

The colour is very flat and dull irl. I can live with it though.

I'm wondering whether something like a short wolf cut would work so that all the top of my hair and bottom of my hair have most of the length cut off? Do wolf cuts just look stupid irl? Would it look like a mullet on my hair? I'm not stylish enough to pull off a mullet!

Something like this?

I think that would be lovely! You’ll not feel like you’ve been scalped either as you’ll still have hair around your face. Go for it and keep us posted

I would go for something like that but without such an extreme fringe

I've had a short fringe in the past (same lady who double bleached) and it wasn't what I asked for but I didn't hate it. It stayed where it was meant to which is a bonus for a fringe!

I really love the colour but I know that's not possible.

🤣at feeling like being scalped. When I got the asymmetric cut, she cut the one side very, very short. I came out and wailed that I felt like a boy! As an aside, I rushed out and bought some pretty hair things. Then I started getting crippling headaches and was really worried. Luckily I realised just as I booked a GP appointment that it was my stupid hairband squeezing my head! 🤣

I had similar years ago. Hair snapping off etc. I have very thick wavy hair.

I ended up going all over brown and a bob. Quite short. It took a while but the health came back and until last week my hair was very long.

funnily enough its a long bob again now! with lots of highlights. But i kept it short until it was all healthy again.

Try a layered bob.

I would have the length trimmed then maybe have some layers cut in, get rid of-the worst damage. Treat yourself to some damage control products, bedhead do a great damage repair shampoo and conditioner that has given my dull and frizzed hair a new lease of life, overnight moisture masks not keratin or protein based products but moisture. I seem to be promoting this a lot recently but my new saviour to avoid any heat is this

put it in slightly damp hair and leave for a few hours or sleep in it and it gives amazing curls with no damaging heat, check out you tube to see it done. Apparently it can be done with a thick dressing gown belt its a bit like the old method of using rags for curls 😁

I've tried stuff like that before and my hair just doesn't dry unfortunately. I've done it when it's barely damp and it is still damp when I wake up and the bits that did dry then go frizzy because I need to dry the rest. It's a shame because it would be perfect.

I did heatless curls with damp hair and it was a massive mess, still damp and super frizzy, but it works perfectly if you blow dry your hair straight/smooth then do the heatless curls. The key is hair already being dry if your hair is thick.
