New haircut looks like a wig

[Ibetyoudidntknow]

I’m not sure what’s going on here. But I had a haircut (from very long) to chin length. But it looks odd and I can’t explain why?

It kind of looks a bit like a wig?

Is it because my hair is very thick? What should I say to my hairstylist?

I think it looks gorgeous. I have completely flat here that I have to force volume in to. I’d love hair like yours!

It looks lovely as it is OP. I promise it's beautiful hair.

I can see why you might want a few layers in the back to take the weight out but i its gorgeous.

Sometimes the shock of a change. But we've all been there with the haircut induced palpitation and cold
Sweats !

More conditioner than usual and another inch and you'll be grand. I put pretty clips in mine when I'm cross with it to cheer me up a bit.

I like it 😁

It’s not the stylists fault at all. She is fab. It’s just my awkward hair I think

It is the stylist's fault because she's given you a cut that is unsuitable for your hair type.

I like it. Particularly in the middle photo with a few waves.

Kudos to you for going for such a change. I was at the hairdresser today and it was a struggle to add a few extra lowlights!

It looks lovely
Like Jaime King has her hair sometimes.

That side view reminds me of the children in the Family cult.

I like it, you look chic and elegant. Prefer the blunt blocky look - it looks good and you need thicker hair to achieve that. I have no idea why everyone is telling you to get layers, the blockiness is why it’s great!
One colour, one length, then waft around looking effortlessly beautiful - DONE

I love this cut, but I would encourage it to wave, that looks so fresh and eliminates the blockish-ness, if you see what I mean. A gentle wave or soft curls would elevate this cut so perfectly. I think it is the blunt, straight ends that create the 'wig' effect you are concerned about.
I see hair that wants to light up and come alive here!

And crikey DO NOT LAYER!!!! Your hair would expand.

I really like it , like others have said I would run a soft wave through it , you could grip up one side with a nice clip etc

Layering thick wavy hair often just puts the volume in a slightly different place. Personally I think you look great. Especially the wavier picture. Just really effortless and cool. Definitely don't get it thinned as that just puts a messier texture in and makes wearing it wavy harder.

I think it's ok - good even - to let thick hair just look thick! After all, a lot of cuts are designed to give thinner hair more volume. Enjoy having thick hair! You can always get an undercut in the summer if it gets too hot.

It looks similar to the beautiful Ali Bailey...check out her Insta for styling inspiration

Just be careful she doesn't put too many layers in.

Short bobs on thick hair are a minefield. I’ve learnt the hard way too OP. I think you could straighten in and put some good hair oil in it to make it a bit sleeker. And then maybe consider getting some layers put in.

when I last checked block bobs and French shag were fashionable, so either very layered in a modern/retro way or one length.

I think you’re curly/wavy so try relative drying methods to go with your natural hair

You have wonderful hair! Your hair looks like it is naturally curly/wavy, and like it would be wonderful natural with some product to give it a bounce. This style could look great with a bit of "messiness" and carefree to its shape. Don't force it straight, embrace the curls! 😍😍😍

Absolutely love your hair!

I like it OP, I think you're fixated on this because to go from long hair to a short, straight bob is quite something to get used to, but it looks good!
Maybe a bit more layers at the back, but really, it looks lovely like that.

I recently had my curtain bangs done by a hairdresser, quite thicker than usual, and she blow dried my hair, something I never do.
For 1h, I was like "What is that??" and after that, I was walking in the streets like I was a bloody fashion model. Just needed to get used to it. Now I can't wait to go back.

I absolutely love it. I have super thick wavy hair and I know what it is to fight with your hair type but this looks totally fab and fashionable. If you add in layers I think you risk it look more "meh" and middle aged!

I think it looks nice!

I like it and would love to have thick hair like that. Mine is menoupausal and thinning.

Oh and ignore your mum.

Hers looks gorgeous!
