Regretting my haircut, looking in the mirror makes me cry
For context, I had long hair about two year ago and had to cut it to my shoulders after a hair mask cause my hair to knot into a giant clump behind my head when I was going through postnatal hair loss. Now, I am no stranger to shorter hair, I have had short hair more often than long hair and usually once it gets to this awkward in between length I get the urge to cut it again. I actually think I suit short hair but have discovered I really dislike lots of layering when it's short as it makes clipping it back more difficult and gives a really weird rounded shape that I find unflattering. Well, today was one of those days where I decided to cut some hair off. My birthday is in a few weeks and I have been on this tip of doing things to build up my confidence so I thought a cut and colour should be a nice thing to do. I have had old highlights in my hair for the longest time and they have grown out half way down my hair so I thought lets do a rich brown colour to start fresh. The colour turned out fairly dark but its only a demi dye so I guess it will fade. the colour is actually not so much the issue but that my hair was cut shorter than I imagined or at least it appears that way because I have a giant cascade of layers that make me feel absolutely hideous. I thought I was clear on layers but I guess not. The colour is the icing on the cake as it's making the cut give lord farquad. Moral of the story is I have finally learnt the lesson that I constantly go into these moments of feeling ugly and want to change my hair or appearance in order to feel better but then I almost never do. I bet any money I would have felt so much more refreshed and beautiful with just a trim. This is probably the worst reaction about a hair cut I have ever had and I just want it to grow back now. How do I cope with this regret and speed up my hair growth ? 😞
