I have the haircut from hell - help me find one to turn it into!!

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

I hate the new haircut (so no need to be nice about it).

The pink hair pic on my profile gives you an idea of face shape.

The other one is the new hair so you have an idea of what we are working with!!!

My hair has a natural kink.

HELP ME!!!!!

I have an appointment on Tuesday to rectify it.

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

Thank you SoH - no-one has ever said that to me before

Right - so Tuesday I just need a bit of lightening/chopping rather than a full on cut. The hairdresser only saw me with a hat, but just from that glance she mentioned it having a wave and was obv mulling over options, so I am very confident that she knows what she is doing.

[ShowOfHands]

The thing is, in my extremely limited opinion, with the sort of hair you have and a cut this short or shorter, it's always going to be a bit labour intensive. I'd try not to have too much taken off on Tuesday and grow it a bit longer so you can wash and go.

Razoring it a bit would be better I think, make it a bit funkier. It's a perfectly legitimate and nice haircut btw, just get the feeling you're a bit more exciting than that hair.

And you're very pretty.

[BloodSuccaPucca]

A bit like this here

[BloodSuccaPucca]

I like the top pic, i do think they have cut too much fringe though, i would get the rest razored a bit to give some texture as at the moment it is looking too much like a mullet type shape.

I think you need it more choppy, then you can wear it messy.

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

lol the purple pic is v bad

[harleyd]

well, i think its a better shape now than in the purple pic, if thats any consolation

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

It just went all freaky and flyaway straightened

[harleyd]

whats it like if you straighten it yourself?
it would make it look longer

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

Right - so I have managed to go from

this to more late 80s sixth former at grange hill (see profile)

I think I could leave the house like that. It would be better with the streaks though... and leg warmers

[harleyd]

i agree its too mumsy or something
have you played about with hair putty on anything, can you get it more funky?

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

I don't know what to do with it I just want to hide and cry for the next 6 months

[bubblerock]

It's not funky enough for you, does look very sensible!

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

argh this should work!

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

look like this but less intentional looking, just pure mess looking

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

I've tried flicking, non-flicking, straighteners, products - it has just gone all floaty and mad professorish

[TheWomanWhoAteTraffic]

OOh pmsl, when I opened this thread I looked at the picture in the advert and for a brief moment thought 'it looks great'.

I think it's nice, I would try making the sides sweep forward with a bit of a flick.

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

It looks like a helmet

I am wearing a hat until Tuesday, even on Tuesday I dunno if she will be able to fix it of it is will just be worse and even shorter. My hair is hell.

[RottenOtter]

i think if you just de- flick it with straighteners and use some ( hate the word) product to make it look more choppy/strandy then it will look fine

part it to one side

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

Think I prefer "take the sides off" pic to "chop into it" pic.

Goober - love you too

[FlameThrowersKillZombies]

Sorry - lost connection.

I wouldn't do the whole lot pink again - just a few streaks

Urbandryad suggested this

I will play with the straighteners in the morning and see if I can get it vaguely better.

I don't know why I hate it so much - it just makes me feel wrong iyswim.

[WingsofaBatEyeofNewt]

The colour looks nice.
Have you got straighteners ? Would make your hair look longer in the fringe.

[SlasherGoober]

Straighten it, run some wax through it.
I love you.

[Furball]

If you take the sides off

or chop into it

[acoady]

I like it. Maybe tuck it behind your ears if you want it to look a bit younger?

[brimfull]

don't dye it pink or purple,it makes you look pale

your haircut is fine I think it need some volume though and yes flicky bits would be good too
