I was very attached to my long hair; I only asked the hairdresser to trim the ends a little. But she literally cut my hair to shoulder length! Looking in the mirror, I feel like a stranger. Now I will wait for it to grow back, but how will I maintain my self-confidence during this time? Is there anyone else who has experienced something similar?
I think everything starts with communication. You need to be very clear with the hairdresser, for example, using definite sentences like "don't come near my shoulders." I had a similar experience last year, and the next time I definitely didn’t take my eyes off the mirror.
Actually, it's a very common issue for hairdressers to cut according to their own interpretation. That's why it’s better to show not just verbally but also with a photo or something like that before going. When you talk through visuals, the margin for error decreases, and you have a direct example.
But you know how when you say just a little off the ends, nobody pulls out a ruler to measure it... Maybe she did it that way because your hair was really damaged. Instead of saying the hairdresser is to blame, I think it's because if you're not clear, these kinds of things happen.
Update: Yes, you were right, I should have been more clear, but I already showed the photo. So I said, 'let it stay at this height, just take from the ends.' Even so, it turned out this short. Frankly, I still don't feel at ease.
They say to apply almond oil every day to speed up hair growth, you should give it a try. My sister's friend was doing it and made a lot of progress in 2-3 months. If it's true, wouldn't that be great?
It's a bit like an urban legend, you know? It's true that oil nourishes the hair, but the rate of growth is genetic. I think it's more sensible to focus on regular trims for healthy growth rather than just applying oil 🤷♀️
I literally laughed when I talked to my friend, they said, "Going to the hairdresser is like being in a relationship, if it's the wrong person, turn back and run. " I guess I’ll change my hairdresser next time too 😂
