It will grow back.

Post pictures. Maybe it's not as bad as you think.

It might not be as bad as I thiunk. But it's not what I wanted. I said, graduated bob- I need the weight taken out of the back, but I like the front just fine. She said, yes, ok, we'll do layered bob, get the back taken care of. She cut the back and it looked fine. Then, she "texturized" my hair for, I am not joking, at least 30 minutes, so now my hair is weird and thin and flat all over my head. And there are weird long parts around my ears and at the back of my head.

My usual hair cutter moved to Coeur d'Alene, ID, so I had to find another hair cutter. The resulting haircut was so bad, that it's been about 3 years, and I have not gotten over it, or cut my hair during that time. If my hair were not grey and course, it would be Locks of Love material, but it is, so it's not.

When's the last time you've grown it out, TPS? I'll bet it's pretty.

It was long when I moved to NYC in 2004.

Awww, that sucks!

But yeah, I'll bet it's not as bad as you think. And maybe a little product might soothe you until it grows a little.

At least you have the hair to allow a messed up cut.

Argh. Bad haircuts are the worst! I feel traumatized for days after a crap haircut. I feel ya.

I find it hard to believe your cuteness and hotness doesn't override it and totally cancel it out though, assuming it really is a bad haircut ;P

I am so getting a refund tomorrow. I am not pay $52 for this crap on my head.

TPS, sometimes they don't know when to stop. That sucks. Good for you for getting your money back. I would call and speak to the manager.

I think we can all empathize. I've had my fair share of hair traumas. It will grow quicker than you think. In the meantime, maybe put it back with some of those thin, ballet hairbands. It's a modern, cute look.

It might not be refund territory, I don't know- trimming all the weird long parts off the bottom might fix it. I'm seeing a girlfriend in a few hours for a Costco trip; I'll see what she says.

I'm just so upset that it doesn't look anything like what I wanted.

Like the other peeps said: It's probably not as bad as you think. Have fun at Costco!

I plan to! I don't think I've ever been to Costco, and I've never been to any warehouse club in NYC. I'm gettin stuff for my church halloween party... and maybe a few things for meeeeeeee.

Ok, now that I have done my own washing and drying.... I feel a lot better. I think I'm going to survive this haircut.

It maybe needs product? If it's layered enough you can put some wax in it and make it look more "ruffled"? It might look cute in a slight wavy/curled bob kinda way (this all based on conjecture). I remember how weird and flat my last haircut felt right after I got out of the salon but it it was because it was right after it'd been flat ironed and the whole 'texturizing' finishing cutting seemed to have put it into a weird trauma and it was the follicle equivalent of a scared/traumatized person rocking back and forth in a corner mumbling "Enough, please stop. Stop it please. Enough, enough, enough..." But when I woke up the next day it was fine. Girl, next time let me hook you up with Setsuko.

Actually I'm nervous too because I'm gearing up for a haircut soon and for once I'm trying to play into my actual curly hair instead of cutting for the straight 'do...

This is what scares me about cutting my super long hair. Everyone keeps telling me that hair grows back, but I keep hearing about these horror haircuts and dude: I don't want my first trip to a hair stylist to end up with me in tears.

It not only grows back, but it's liberating.
Ask a Buddhist monk.
Mine has been ridiculously long and super short, all of my own doing.
Donate a length. Then consider the significant lightness to your head.
There are always hats, wigs, products and pins.
Long hair is the path of putting of any decision.
