Im really angry that I cut my hair it was at all layered at BSL and I decided I wanted it all one length so I got it cut, boy was that a mistake especially having really thick wavy hair, long story cut short Ive had about 4 haircuts this month from butcher hairdressers so now its like a short shag and now Ive got to start all over again growing it out

Oh no

is it all at least one length now..... since that is why you cut it to begin with

No its like a shag cut the one length made my hair too thick so Ive had it layered again think I will be staying away from hairdressers for good this time and just trimming it myself again thats how I got it longest its been since I was a child in the first place

I cut mine recently to get ri of all the layers. I found it really upsetting at first but a few weeks in and I'm not too fussed. It felt like boring hair until I rediscovered all my hair accesories. Have you tried using pretty slides, headbands, ribbons or scarves to add some interest?

You are not alone. I did the same thing and somehow ended up from mid back length hair to chin length hair...yes it was a one week process. I thought I could be my own hairdresser but it did not work out as I planned. Guess you will have to wait it out! your hair will grow back but yeah I can understand how frustrating it can be.

yeah I will have to pull all the hair accesories out of the cupboard lol I got some wax as well to mess it up and control it a bit, it will be another long journey but Ive done it before so I can do it again, its just a bit depressing going from long hair to really short

If you click on my avatar you can see my hair length before the cut

Ugh! Why are so many of us going through this again. It seems we repeat our own (and others') mistakes over and over when it comes to hair.

Last weekend I went from 26" to like 17" (longest layers) with short layers at chin length. I was willing to give up 4" and maybe get layers to thicken because the length of my hair was scraggly and sparse but I made the mistake of not being clear with my stylist. Plus he's kind of a bad listener

I'm still in shock that I let it happen. I can't deny that my hair looks good and thick and voluminous now but what the hey? Not what I meant to allow.

Good luck, all!
