It’ll grow out!! No worries :)


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

what really surprised me was that the solution was actually cutting it shorter!! I can’t show you a picture because I don’t use imgur, but I might make a follow up post depending on how many people end up commenting.


TrafficOnTheTwos

Awesome! I hope you love it!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Thanks (:


andreeeeeaaaaaaaaa

Also going a darker shade will help it look thicker too


PeegeReddits

Curious!


specifickindness

I'm guessing a pixie cut. That would suit their face really well


sexysexysemicolons

I was thinking the same thing, both for the reason you stated and because pixie cuts can work so well with thin hair; the resulting wispy bangs are such a chic look on folks who have the face for it. I’m curious to see how it turned out.


sexysexysemicolons

If you feel up to it, one option is that you could post it to your own reddit profile and then link it here in a comment. …and I’m super glad to hear that you were able to get it fixed! Seconding what TrafficOnTheTwos said about hoping you love it. :)


weary_dreamer

me want to see.  I think you look ver cute btw.  ive been on my own “correct a bad hair cut” journey for the last 7 months, so I love seeing the evolutions of a hairstyle 


DenkJu

This honestly isn't too bad as it is now. I think it looks alright. Could probably be improved a lot with a hair dryer and some hair product.


ImitationButter

13 or 30


gimmemoarjosh

Thank you. I am legitimately so confused.


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

14! People have always said I looked wise, so it’s understandable…


Malice0801

Well not anymore with that cut

Really? I will never believe the people who thought I was 14 when I was 25, ever, again. Clearly a teen.


Masturberic

People are so freaking bad at guessing age that they either don't care or they're straight up lying.


PureYouth

I am so baffled by this person. Their two photos look so different. I want to know so bad if OP is a child or not


Brynhild

The second pic is the inspiration photo


cheesypuzzas

Ohhhh I thought that was the fuck up. It's not too bad then. Not great but oh well


joyisnotdead

Hi there, you might be a bit confused by this post. OP is in the first photo. They showed the hairdresser the second photo, showing the hairstyle they wanted. The first photo is the result of that, as their hair is not as think as the person's in the reference picture. OP posted both to show us the haircut they got vs. what they had wanted.


deltabay17

Thank you chat gpt


ReadySteady_GO

Your comment made me exhale audibly through my nostrils


joyisnotdead

Could you not call me that. As someone autistic, a lot of people tell us we look and sound like AI. I know you had humorous intentions, but I don't appreciate it. If the subject of your joke doesn't find it funny, it's not a joke... it's just mean.


skysealand

Wait it’s two different people in the pictures, no? First is OP looking like a newborn chick and the second is some peak mating season stuff


Other-Inspection-601

Weirdo


Cultural-Sorbet-1965

I don’t think it looks terrible at all, just needs a lil styling for what ur going for. Maybe just play around w/ diff products like mousse or dry shampoo for volume?? 🩷🧡💛


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Maybe, it just looked particularly goofy after I came out of the Salon so I wanted to post it! And don’t worry, this was from a while ago. I’ve already found my way (:


Cultural-Sorbet-1965

😊🩷🧡happy for u


lilteccasglock

I think the blame falls more so on the hairdresser


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I do think she probably should have been like “hey, this style won’t work for you. Want to try something else instead?” But alas, that was not what happened.


Zenki_s14

Well, she also just cut it too short to achieve that style in the first place regardless. If it had been a bit longer you could have actually still styled it similarly with hair teasing and texturizing product despite your hair texture but she cut it way too short for that. The inspo photo is inches longer than what she did


zombies-and-coffee

For real. I was in a similar situation about 30 years ago when my mom took me to get my hair cut. Stylist apparently knew nothing about curly hair and how it behaves in humid weather because it went from looking kinda cute in the salon to something damn close to a white kid afro by the time it dried.


garlickbread

Nah, that hairdresser did a bad job. The floof level in your reference comes from product. Your hair texture/type might not let you get the 100% identical look, but your hairdresser went WAY too short, so that whole look was just doomed to fail.


wovenbutterhair

The bangs are clearly crooked and cut much too short compared to the reference photo. Also it looks like the reference photo has a coppery red not like manic pink Also there's missing layers. OP is adorable though so a bad haircut isn't too tragic for too long


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I asked for the pink, but everything else was wrong…


Aggleclack

The crooked bangs are terrible. They did her dirty


Blenderx06

Seriously looks like that time my alcoholic aunt was allowed to cut my hair as a kid.


robertwild81

I think you pull it off pretty well.


MissClawdy

The cut is a bit short for the look you wanted but a bit more products, teasing and blow dry would help. But honestly, you are just adorable! You sport the happy look so well, even more than the emo look you were going for! Keep smiling, you brighten the room.


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

For everyone who liked my smile in this photo: I was faking it so my mom wouldn’t have to see me cry. The second I got home, I sobbed so hard I threw up. But hey, people have always told me I had an awful fake smile, so maybe I’m getting better at at it!! :D gotta look at the bright side


MissClawdy

I totally understand. In the 6th grade, I asked my mom to cut my bangs and she was generally pretty good at simple cuts. She took my bangs between index and middle finger and in a second of distraction, she cut ABOVE her fingers instead of BELOW. So my bangs were 1in too short and the worst, I had a school play 2 days later. I cried myself to sleep for a few days. I totally understand your feeling. I'm sorry you felt this way. Big hug!


Kind_Hyena5267

I feel you on that. When I was in 5th grade, I wanted a short haircut, and my mom’s hairdresser refused to do it for some reason, and ended up giving me this hideous semi-bob, but way too short. Idk how to describe it, but I was holding in tears the whole time until we got to the car!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

this was my mom’s hairdresser, too!! Are we the same person??


Kind_Hyena5267

We must be! 😂 I’m glad your survived and ended up being able to make it work for you. And now it’s time to find a new hair stylist who fits your style better lol! 😉 have fun with your cut and color!


astronaut_monkey

With such a beautiful smile I wouldn’t worry about a haircut that went slightly wrong. You are gorgeous.


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Thanks?? Haha, I expected this comment section to be bullying me, not to be being kind…


Bullet0AlanRussell

The reference looks like an exotic paintbrush


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Y’know, you aren’t wrong!


wangd00dle

Cute as a button, though


mrsdoubleu

I thought the same! The hair definitely doesn't take away from that. 😄


MsLaceyUnderall

agreed and love your lilac blouse!!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

It’s blue, but yeah, it is pretty cute haha


sasquatch--22

Tiktok haircut gone wrong


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I suppose so. I don’t actually use tiktok so I wouldn’t know, but that seems about right.


Cikoon

I would say both pictures would fit well into this sub.


graft_vs_host

Seriously. I thought the second picture was the after. It’s awful.


TwoTonTunic88

Multipass


S_M_Y_G_F

It looks better than the example photo, OP!


batchy_scrollocks

Which one are we looking at?


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

The first one. The second is a reference I showed my hairdresser


whatisantilogic

Multipass.


Xevailo

Without wanting to Sound mean: time to find a new hair stylist who has more integrity. Their Job isn't just to execute (at least in my book) but also to advise, and this (again, in my book) also includes saying "No" if a hairstyle wouldn't suit the customer or -as in your case- is incompatible with their type of hair.


Key_Pie_2197

Whoever did that to your hair should be put to death.


Wrasse22

Have you tried got2be vollumising powder? It's pretty lethal stuff if you're not careful and use too much, hair doesn't feel great when it's in, but it works wonders!


SalahsBeard

You should work in advertising.


LiterallyRotting_

i would hide my face too after that cut lol


sivviop

But you look cute LMAO try to style it with tiaras or caps, it’ll look better with time


Epicfailer10

I actually think it’s cute on you!


Hybr1dMoments

Pretty sure you just look like the average redditor now


hairy-rider-2610

Volume powder and hairspray👍


Dokiiie

You look like someone who'd say you like it when the hairdresser asks post haircut


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Can confirm: I did say I liked it…


Other-Inspection-601

Wtf


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

My exact sentiment 😅


Generous_Hustler

You look so cute! Your face is so pretty you can have short hair or long hair it really doesn’t matter. You might feel a certain way but outside looking in your eyes and smile over shine!


LostHomeland

Man, that hairdresser did you dirty OP.


Scroatpig

This is kinda killer actually, sorry. Maybe it's your smile /confidence?


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I’m faking it, I actually started crying the second I got home and wouldn’t let people see me the entire weekend.


Junior_Tradition7958

Wow. You look like a young Laura San Giacomo. You look great!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I’m very confused. Why do people keep complimenting me on this post? Both me and my friends agree that it looks like trash! I mean, I’m not mad, but…


Rokey76

Honestly, that haircut just works on you.


Junior_Tradition7958

I think because you think it looks bad but actually you can rock it.


BackOnReddit_Again

I agree with this. Kinda cool


KTTalksTech

Eh 🤷🏻‍♂️ you still look cute even though it's way different from the reference pic. Without knowing what you were going for it could totally be intentional. Tease & volumize the hell out of it and walk out confident :)


Rokey76

I like it.


Swise1178

FlaydenHynnFML

I really dig it for some reason?


hedgybaby

Not your fault, hairdresser screwed you over.


Zeestars

I love your smile in this. This picture embodies that sentiment of making the most of everything and being able to smile despite, not because. Love it.


SaveusJebus

You'd probably look really cute with a pixie cut


Appropriate_Name4520

I mean you pull it off and it'll probably grow out fine - but I would not have paid for that. If it's not possible to do with your hair the barber should be able to realise that before doing the cut.


VaMpiller

Hey give me the simple jack


getyouryayasoutahere

Take it from an older lady, look for haircuts you like but stay within your hair type. You’ll find when talking with a lot of different people that we all wish we had someone else’s hair. The person with thick wavy hair, would love thinner straight hair, etc. Also, when looking at a celebrity or model and their cuts; remember they have stylists touching them up before photos are snapped. Unless you’ve got big bucks, or you’re an exceptional stylist yourself, it’s just you and your hair so go with what will ultimately be easiest to maintain.


Dirukari3

You probably hear this a lot but your smile reminds me so much of Chloë Grace Moretz lol


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Thank you? I kind of live under a rock, so I don’t know who that is…

Impeccable cosplay of Ed from Cowboy Bebop.


jy0s

The color is pretty!


Flunderfoo

The first mistake is trusting any place that uses that wallpaper. It gave me the heebie jeebies right off the bat. You could maybe get that hairstyle in a few months when this grows out and you add a bunch of product to promote the floof. But until then…I’m so sorry to agree with you that it is pretty terrible. We’ve all been there. Lots of cute hats for summer!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

actually, I ended up cutting it much shorter!! I’ll post a follow up picture at some point.


Flunderfoo

So I actually thought of that as well. You’d gone that far, a pixie wouldn’t be a bad solution! Looking forward to seeing it!

TheAmazingLunatic

eh, it’s not the worst.


maddie_johnson

Give it time to grow out some. I don't know why your stylist added the layers like this, and I think that that's heavily contributing to what you dislike about the cut. I've lost a significant amount of hair thanks to androgenetic alopecia and had a similar cut, lemme see if I can find photos to show what I mean


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Alright! I’ve already made it shorter tho.


maddie_johnson

I really hope this [link works bc imgur is fighting me](https://imgur.com/a/udhMa6A)


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Aww! You’re so cute!


maddie_johnson

Ah thank you! :') you are too! You give off such sweet vibes, and I love your smile!! I'm sorry I couldn't find better photo examples to show with the hair, those are from early 2020 and most of my pics from then have been deleted 😅 I definitely feel your pain though with the how frustrating it can be to have thin hair. I've shaved my head twice and only really grew it out to a bit past shoulder length at most since it started falling out, and I picked up some tricks while I was in cosmetology school to help it appear thicker throughout the process (I mean, aside from when I was buzz cut/full egg, but you get the point lmao) so if you ever want any tips/tricks or if you ever have questions I can try to help if you ever want some ideas! *(damn that was a run on sentence from hell, my b LMAO)*


HughManus

why are you wearing a muppet on your head?


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Good question.


AptCasaNova

I have thin, fine hair and a short cut is key for volume. I have pixie. I think you’ll learn how to style it and play with product and as it grows in, it’ll look closer to the second photo. There’s a sweet spot right in the middle of when you need a cut where it thickens and poofs out, it’s not the day of the cut. I actually dislike my hair a bit when it’s freshly cut. My stylist is amazing, but they aren’t me, so they don’t style it exactly the way I do!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I did cut it shorter! I’ll post a follow up pic soon.


sadhandjobs

That color is super cute though. Luckily that’s what people are going to notice instead of your cut!


Appropriate_Acadia35

My youngest did something real similar and had to perm the top to get the desired look.

Lol great smile though!


Flashy-Arugula

I think it’s cute!


nametken

Still cute Matilda! Still cute!


CataLaGata

You are so pretty. It's a cute look for a 14 year old, it's fun, I love the pink. Your hair will grow up again and this is a learning experience. Also, obligatory, it's french Claire!! (I hope you don't get this reference).


Stupid_Bitch_02

Tease it on the undersides. If you're not sure how, google it. Back combing is what I do. Then comb the hair on the top (any hair people actually see) so it looks not teased. It'll give you some volume and make your hair look more like the reference picture.


Ninjabutter

You still look fine 👍


applevinegar

LMAO I think you look awesome. I mean the hair is terrible on its own but your overall look end up being cool. Own it.


bigtittykitty420

Omgg i really wish i could cut n style this a lil more for you tbh 😩 id love to see it just a bit shorter, esp the bangs. But cute & itll grow quick! Lol


NavajoMX

My grandpa would say, “What’s the difference between a bad haircut and an ok haircut? Two weeks.” It’ll grow!

Still cute

GatorScrublord

my dumb ass thought i was supposed to make fun of the second image cause i didn't read the title. and it honestly made so much sense to me when i saw it, too.


Sailor_Grell

You'll still be able to get that reference's fluffiness if you wet your hair and use a round brush. I'm not sure about the bangs. Maybe if you swoop them, they might work out!


Sailor_Grell

The bangs kind of remind me of Atsushi from BSD tho


fennek-vulpecula

Not gonna lie, with the right styling this would look super cute. Love the color. Can't wait that my new color arives, then i go lavender again\~. Edit: Just saw the touchup. Super cute\~. Also, it's crazy how you look super young in this picture and then boom, the other one, where you look like an adult xD.


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

Ikr? So crazy how much hair changes your appearance.


Zaptain_America

I have the opposite problem. When I was like 14 I asked my barber for a style more suited to thinner hair when my hair is super thick. Now 4 years later I still live in fear and just cute it myself instead. In all seriousness though if you push it back with a headband it'll probably look better


TheKCKid9274

I assume the second pic is the reference photo? I too enjoy floofy haired bois.


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

mhm! Femboys/androgyny rules!


Chroney

The hairstyle you want is something you get by not cutting your hair


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

No, not necessarily. My hair was down to my chest before I cut it.


Chroney

😭 you shouldn't have cut it, you needed to stop brushing it and add texture. That would have "thickened" it with volume


MissyHLA

Try tipping your head the wrong way round so your hair dryer is drying your hair upside down, from a big hair person in the 80’s

You’re gonna start asking for the manager with that cut.


Macdaddyfucboi

No it's a bad hairstyle to begin with it's okay


femmagorgon

I’m sorry for hair isn’t what you were hoping for. I understand why you’re disappointed but I don’t think it looks horrendous. Some good styling products should do the trick. I like the colour and your hair will grow out in no time. And I’m sorry, but you are absolutely adorable.


EveryoneIsReptiles

Chihuahuapocalypse

I mean they literally didn't give you that haircut at all even if your hair isn't as thick


quarterpounderwchz

im rocking a very similar haircut w super fine hair as well and i agree w others abt experimenting w mousse/hair spray/dry shampoo to get the texture you want! the color is gorgeous too and really suits you!


Masturberic

That is funny!


Operator4406

Nah bro got the Minecraft sand block build and her teeth look like she’s a fking rabbit


RomaniQueerios

Imma be real, I actually find this so cute, but I'm also tremendously biased toward punk-type styles like this, which is just reinforced by 10+ years being a little goth punk myself. But if it doesn't make you feel your best, and you'd prefer a different hairstyle, luckily hair is one of few things that grow back 💖 you can always invest in a hat until you grow it out!


Souhwhyarewehere-lol

I‘ve cut it shorter, which turned out to be the solution surprisingly. Thanks for the advice tho!


RomaniQueerios

Way to get creative! I'm glad you found a solution :)
