Low Selfesteem Issues

Go somewhere else and get it fixed! (I probably wouldn't want to go back to the same place.) Life is too short to stress about O. single stinkin' bad haircut! LOL Good luck, chin up dear!

I have BEEN THERE, let me tell you. Having said that I'll just say one word: Haiti. Ever since the earthquake, when I find myself grumbling about my petty problems, I just think about Haiti and it puts it all in perspective.

See this an an opportunity to practice humility and transcend above "what you look like". I once had long pretty hair and decided to go for a drastic "shorter doo". Oh my god I wanted to just move to another country for a year and I don't see myself as a terribly vain person. The most common response I got to my hair cut was "It'll grow back." Not what I wanted to hear. I was mortified.

After a week or so of hats and woe is me, I rediscovered that I am not my haircut. My friends don't like me for my hair. My husband didn't marry me for my hair. I don't have my job because of my hair. In the end no one really gave a @#$%#Q about my hair! I was the only one who cared.

Also, remember how much inner confidence can radiate out and over-shadow bad hair, acne, weight issues, etc. Think of all the people you know who are less than perfect according to current standards, but who love themselves anyway, and so you do too.

I know, it sucks. You had one idea and it turned out so wrong-or did it? You can gain something from this while you wait for your hair to grow back into something you can tolerate.

Why not go back to your stylist and say that the cut isn't really working out the way you hoped,and would s/he modify it? take in a picture of what you'd like, that helps. Maybe you can joke about it, e.g. "Well, I now know the pixie look isn't for me!" The other moms who wrote so far have good thoughts too.My cousin who died of cancer would have been so grateful to have enough hair to get a cut (bad or good). You are more than your hair!

Look at it as an opportunity to change up your look ! Dye it, go to another hair place and get them to give you a new do ! Maybe go short, or get them to layer it up beautifully, or at least fix what the other place did. :-) Don't be sad, you are beautiful and that hair will grow back fast anyhow ! Hope you feel better.

no no no
why taking it so badly? trust me i have had my shair of bad haircuts. you can't allow that to bring you down. think of it this way, it will grow back. is the weather cold where you're at? if yes, rock some hats. heck rock some hats anyhow, use headbands, clips whatever you can. but you can't let a bad cut bring you down
:(

I am totally bald thanks to a thyroid problem
with wigs I can be anyone I want to be

check out the lace front wigs,. they look as if the hair is coming from your scalp

I would try a synthetic until you decide whether you like it or not

In reacting to change, some people are natural 'glass-is-half-empty' people. I had a friend who had a very droll, dark sense of humor and he could take any situation (impending department outsourcing take over for instance), and have us laughing till we were in tears and could hardly breathe. Instead of thinking of the down side of any change, try looking for the up side - the silver lining - the opportunities the change presents. Change can be a very good thing. Every change is a chance for a new beginning. Someone once said we are about as happy as we make our minds up to be.
So a hair cut didn't turn out the way you hoped it would. Ok. You have 2 hours to anguish about it and mourn the loss of your old look, and then time's up and you are finished. Average hair growth is 6 inches a year (or a half inch a month). This will pass. A different look is not necessarily a bad look, and if you really can't stand it you can go to another stylist and change it to something else. The hair does not make you who you are. I'm sure you are a kind wonderful person and your family loves you no matter what.

HAIR GROWS! In a few weeks you'll need it cut again and you'll have the chance to try someone else or some other style. How you look is NOT who you are! If you had no hair, as many don't, THEN you'd have a real problem. Even saying that, I knew a woman who had to go through chemo and lost all her hair. She was beautiful. She had the face for it! I don't.

Is this new for you to have issues? Seems like something is underlying here with self esteem.

Hair grows......it could be MUCH worse, you could be sick, bedridden, etc

One thing I do when I get the occasional "poor me" is I look at others and see how good I really do have it and how I am blessed with a good, stable, healthy family. Then I thank my lucky stars and pull my chin up.

You can do a lot to fix a bad hair cut, experience a new "do" or new color and remember that there are a lot of women (and men) out there sick with cancer and other diseases that would love to have any hair.

Things will get better..... always look on the bright side!!!

Hey I'm thankful that I have hair tight now! I have earned the right to rejoice and be thankful with what I do have. I've got about 1/4 of an inch, this is because I recently finished cancer treatments and lost it all. Self Esteem comes from within. You should be able to rock good hair, bad hair, or no hair! Our hair doesn't make us God made us! He made each one of us beautiful & wonderful! THINK Positive!!!! God bless you!
