Hair cut too short! Help!

[Redhothoochycoocher]

I had a hair cut last week and she did exactly what I asked so this is my own fault but it's too short. It's a very short bob, straight cut, no layers, no face framing. I've got fair skin and very dark hair and it looks so severe. It comes to just the top of my jaw so higher than my chin. I really really don't like it. Any styling tips to get me through a month or so until it's slightly more bearable?

Just wait... it's hair, it'll grow. It looks nice.

Try waving it with a straightening iron or wand? I like hair that length. It's not crazy short.

Thank you both. I thought I liked it too and have had short hair before but always a bit longer than this. It just feels so triangular and blunt but also quite short for tonging. I'll give that a go tonight though. I just need a plan for the next 2 weeks or so as it won't feel so bad once it's grown a tiny bit

It’s fine. Top of jaw would be just below your ears. It’s a lot longer than that.

It's below your jaw in the photo and looks long not at all short!

How fast does your hair grow? Mine grows super fast in spring and summer but slows down in winter.

I really like it.

I'd love hair like that.
It might not be what you had in mind, but it looks lovely.

Tuck one or both sides behind your ears

It's nice, you could change to a side parting or wave it.

I did this too a couple weeks back. Managed to scrap it back into a tiny tiny pony and hair grips for now. I even got a fringe cut in.

I get married in October; no idea what I was thinking 🥲🥲

Pin back the fringe in a mini quiff.

This!

I've just experienced exactly the same thing... Hair cut to a short bob with no layers (which I know suits me so much better). I feel mine looks a bit triangular too, especially as my hair is wavy. I just rub a bit of spray-on/leave-on conditioner onto the ends, and it helps tame the triangular bounce at the ends. And yes, I do the tucking behind ears trick too.

Yours looks lovely though, by the way! You'll probably love it in a few weeks. It won't take long to grow a bit.

I wave my similar length hair regularly and did when it was much shorter than yours, it's certainly possible! Start level with your eye and curl the three sections nearest your face AWAY from your face.

I would blow dry it upside down to get a bit of volume on top as it's a little flat. Then side part it and put some loose waves in. 🙂Also tuck one side behind your ear as suggested earlier. I bet it could look lovely!
Maybe dutch braids down each side could be nice as well whilst you are waiting for it to grow?

Given your description, I was expecting something much shorter and darker. I wouldn't describe that as "severe", in fact I think it's very undramatic! I agree there are things you can do with it, but you have my sympathies for not liking a hair cut!

Ah you're all so kind - feeling better already although still not keen. I'll have ago at a side part and tongs tonight. I've been tucking it behind my ears since I got it done as convinced it looks better but untucked to take a pic. It does look shorter in the mirror than in the photo oddly, and also much darker in person.

Thank you for making me feel less awful about it though!

Plenty of time till October to get it to a style you like!

It's not terrible but it does look a bit flat which I think is the issue, side part & maybe try and blow dry it with a bit more volume if possible

I really like it.
Bet it looks lovely wavy too.

Try a half pony tail. Always works for me when hairdressers chopped too much off!
I cut my own nowadays!

It looks absolutely fine to me. You're just not used to it yet, and you're really focused on it. I don't think anyone seeing you would think twice about it, your style certainty doesn't look odd in any way at all.
And, as we all know, it'll soon grow!

@Redhothoochycoocher Have you changed your parting since the cut? It looks a bit wonky, tho that might be a trick of the eye as to how you've edited the pic

Ok so I've washed it, put mousse, root spray and colour wow blow dry spray in, tipped upside down to blow dry, side part and tonged. Feel a lot better about it now 😅 thanks for all the help!

I was going to say Hat, but it doesn't look too short in the photos.

I've occasionally gone too short but 2 weeks and its grown out.
