Yesterday I mustered up the courage to go to the hairdresser, and I said "just trim the ends," but my hair is literally half the length it was. It feels like I've turned into someone else. How do I recover from this confidence crisis? What would you do?
Oh, it happened to me too! Before starting university, I went for a trim and ended up with a totally flat hairstyle. I found the solution in hair accessories. Try wearing a scarf, headband, or something for a while. It adds a whole different vibe 🫣
Start caring for your hair with natural oils directly. Coconut oil, for example, accelerates growth and gives a shiny look. Plus, if you occasionally create beach waves, the shortness isn’t as noticeable.
Ah yeah, it's really bad. When you look in the mirror, it feels like your own face has changed. Especially in the first few days, you can't get used to it, but after a while, even that short hairstyle will start to look cute, believe me. I'm saying this because it happened to me before.
but we also need to consider that saying "take a little off the ends" is a bit vague. Some hairstylists are quite eager to add their own style. I think you needed to show exactly how many centimeters you wanted 🤷♀️
It's completely natural to feel a loss of confidence during such a big change. Even if it's temporary, your morale might dip. For now, I suggest you focus on social activities instead of fixating on the mirror, or talk to a hair consultant. A professional can guide you better.
I can say that I've managed to control my fear and sadness a bit more. Right now, I'm trying to flatten things out and look at them from a different angle. The model has really improved a bit. I've also added the headband to the list right away, thank you 😅
I might not have listened to your issue here completely. Could it be that they got distracted while talking to someone? Or in some hair salons, there's an interesting stubbornness where they cut your hair in a "I know better" mode.
In the old days, girls would immediately throw on a scarf or something to save their elegance. Now, no one is patient. But the old traditions work; with accessories, you can look more elegant even with short hair 🫠
I don't understand, if you said "take it from the tip," why are you measuring it in the hairdresser's hands? There is definitely some misguidance. One must avoid having a crisis of confidence without establishing clear communication.
