New haircut looks like a wig

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 went back and had it thinned out massively. I wanted to show you the difference it’s made :)

I think it sits much better and is less like “Lego hair”.

It feels super thin now haha but it looks good. So I am happy with it.

I feel it a bit messy/shaggy looking for my personal taste (I quite like a polished look). But it will grow a little and I think I will really like it when it’s another inch longer.

Thank you for all your support and suggestions, they really helped me out! ❤️

That styling looks great! Try to embrace the shaggy look as it really suits you and your hair!

I agree. I think you suit a bit of wavyness

The update looks great! @Ibetyoudidntknow

I have slightly curlier hair than you but a similar length, and have layered the fuck out of it. We’re similar in age so I think we’re of the straighten generation. Curls and waves are fashionable now: embrace it!

Ooh that looks lovely!!

Completely agree with embracing the shaggy look. I have curly hair and I certainly don't look less groomed than someone with straight hair. It's really lovely now OP.

May I ask where you got your jumper from OP, it looks really nice?

You should ask if you can have a secret undercut at the back. It will take out the blockiness and make it sit properly. Nothing drastic and you won't see it but I have similar hair and it works a treat

Doesn't need an undercut, imo that's what hairdressers do when they can't shape hair properly,but needs proper shaping and 'deep cutting' at the ends,it's an unfinished cut at the moment.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 19/11/2023 22:39

** looks loads better embracing the wave!

Starseeking · 19/11/2023 22:44

Your hair looks so much better now, really wonderful, it's gorgeous 😍😍😍

We (as in society) need to stop telling ourselves that solid straight hair is the most professional and well-groomed look; to my mind it's whatever style suits the wearer best, and brings out their features, without being avant-garde.

BackAgainstWall · 20/11/2023 16:32

You’ve got beautiful hair you’re very lucky.

I liked both photos.

When it’s a bit longer it will be even better.

TotalOverhaul · 20/11/2023 16:43

Now it looks gorgeous!

Irregardless · 21/11/2023 19:38

It looks really good op!
