I’ve had beautiful long, plain hair forever. All one length. It’s the only style I’ve felt beautiful and comfortable. I do a lot of outdoors/hiking and work as a nursing assistant so I don’t style my hair at all. Literally just brush it or a claw clip, simple braid, ponytail etc. I have frizzy curly hair. Recently, my fiance removed the safety guard from a hair dryer and I lost a big chunk of the front piece of my hair. I tried to go to the hairstylist to get it fixed and I absolutely hate what they did with it. It looked good when I left the salon, but as soon as I left it started curling up leaving the middle of my hair looking extremely bulky and unkempt. I asked for a style that preserved length and didn’t require styling. I don’t know how to style and quite frankly do not want to learn; I don’t like the feeling of hair products and I don’t have the time. It feels like the stylist made this worse and didn’t give me a no maintenance cut appropriate for my hair type.
QUESTION: How do I fix this to be no maintenance and a similar feminine simple style to what I had before? I want to keep the length and hopefully get back to the before photos.
