OMG! I hate my new haircut!


I just got my hair cut for the new school year, and it looks awful! The stylist didn’t listen to me at all – it’s too short and looks nothing like what I wanted. What can I do to fix it?

Here’s the good news: Hair grows back! Although it’ll take some time, you’ll eventually get back your old ‘do, good as new. But until then, here are some smart solutions for fixing a horrible hair cut.
Pile on the pins
Yikes – unflattering fringe got you down? Grab fun pins or hair barrettes and sweep it over the top of your head, like a half up do. Secure it with bright clips, and no one will even bat an eye.

Gel Belle
Super short cut? Make like Emma Watson, and show off how chic a boy cut can be. Use a little gel to give your short strands some texture – it’s magic!

Curly Girl
You used to have straight hair – but now that it’s short, it’s gone all curly! Don’t freak, it’s totally normal. Without the weight of your long locks, your hair springs into its natural shape. Either grab a straight iron or enjoy your gorgeous curls – try a product made specifically for curly hair to get more control.

Most of all, be patient! It’s not permanent, and it’s definitely not the end of the world. Own your new ‘do with confidence, and no one will even notice – except to compliment you on your fierce new haircut. Good luck!
