i stupidly cut my long hair short its horrible what can i do now my confidence is shot?

Answer 1

Hair grows really fast!! In the meantime, wear hats! They happen to be really in style now!! I bought a couple great ones!
When your hair grows in a little, go get a really hip haircut! Go to your favorite salon, look through the correct books, and you'll find something you love. I know you will!
When you get really down about your hair, remember IT'S JUST HAIR! Thank Goodness it didn't all fall out because of a horrible illness.

Walk tall and proud. Show confidence! It's what inside that relly counts. You'll be fine. Sincerely, Lynn :) Btw, have you washed it yet? Maybe you jast hate the way they styled it! Go wash it! Good luck, hon. :)

Answer 2

Depends... are you a man or a woman?

Can't tell from your avatar, here's a response if you are a man

You lost your style and mojo?

I got mine cut from shoulder length and had a few dodgy haircuts because 1. my hair kept going in to a center parting 2. wasn't sure what style I wanted.

Think about getting it cut to about a half inch all round (Like my avatar here - dunno if it is this length, I got a four all over and now after about six weeks it's a good length), or a caesar cut. It looks good on most people regardless and then just let it grow back. An inch or two makes a big difference when your hair is short, so get a decent cut and then you can let it go dishevelled as it grows back.

Also facial hair can really change the shape of your face. Ask a girl, or find out what suits your face and hair type rather than thinking "I'm a hippy or a goth or whatever..." Facial hair that doesn't suit with long hair can with short hair.

A short, half inch all over haircut can suit any style, think about it, from rave to metal to hiphop.

Enjoy not taking handfulls of hair out of the sink and enjoy how health it is, literally squeaky clean,

Answer 3

OMG EXACT same thing happened to me last week! I went from below shoulders to jaw level (not intentional!) and my confidence was at rock bottom, so I booked in for a full head of hair extensions. This didnt work for me as my natural hair was so short, and now im thinking that even though the short hair was horrible, it was better than what I have now!!! You can either live with it (like I wish Id have done!) or get extensions, but nothing will make it grow any quicker! Hope this helps!

Answer 4

Short hair can be really cute if you rock your style with confidence. After you get used to the style you can get creative with it. You are so accustomed to having your long hair that you think you look different in a bad way. The only thing that may be diminishing you looks is your confidence.

I bet your hair could be really cute if you just let lose and did something interesting with it- It will grow back eventually- until then- you can have a punk rock star chick look, or something like that. Dye it another color. Just have fun and remember you still look good with out without hair!

Answer 5

I used to have very long hair and donated it to make wigs for kids with cancer. As it had been long all my life, I was not prepared to how much I identified myself with my hair length.
I didn't have regrets for my reasons, but I did NOT like the cut. Go to another hairstylist and see if they can change it for you. It took me a couple of weeks to adjust, but I am delighted with having short hair now. It's easier to maintain, I enjoy trying different hair products that I could not dream of using before and I like seeing people who have known me for a long time try to figure out who I am. The latter made me realize that others also related me to my hair length. I didn't know that others saw my hair and didn't notice me as a whole person. I now realize that my hair did not make the woman, it just acted more like a security blanket that kept me hidden from others.
You make the woman, not your hair.
I know it may feel unattractive now, but it could be because you are not used to it as well. Your hair didn't grow long overnight so it is normal that the new change may take some time to get used to as well.
Your hair will grow back. I would take this time to enjoy not having to worry about the maintenance and see what else you have to offer, If you look deep, you'll find your confidence again. I did.
Short hair that is cut well, looks very chic and you may try spoiling yourself with a few new clothes that accentuate the whole look. Also go get a make-up update. Many places offer this for free as a courtesy in hopes that you will buy their products. It feels good and a new look to go with your hair may be just what you need to help with your confidence.

Answer 6

Product. Buy tons of styling product. You can't change the fact that your hair is short, but you can easily play with it until you at least have a little fun. Experiment with gels, creams and sprays! You can go for a fun shaggy look, twist it, curl it, etc. Start messing with it until it looks cute to you.

I had the same thing happen only WORSE. I went to get my butt-length hair trimmed and the stupid girl whacked of 10 inches! It was to my shoulders! I cried and cried. I wanted to sue the salon. I could have donated the ten inches to Lock for Love, for crying out loud. Instead, the stupid, stupid, stupid girl trimmed and trimmed until 10 inches were gone. She kept messing up. Rather than ask for help or tell me, she just kept going. I was really tired that day and falling asleep in the chair... but I even asked her if she was cutting off too much. OMG. She SO got fired!

Anyway, you just have to deal with what you've got. Might as well have some fun with it.

Answer 7

I just cut 8 inches off my hair last weekend and went through the same feelings I just didn't feel as sexy. I just started fixing it different ways each night and seen the reactions I got the next day from my family and co-workers and found what worked for me. Really don't let it bother you. Have some fun with it get some great styling products and curling irons or flat irons and get to it. You are still the same great person with less hair.

Answer 8

Why is your confidence gone with your hair? Surely, you have other assets? I bet the shorter hair really brings out your eyes or makes your killer smile more noticeable. Do something sassy with the short hair--tousle it, spike it, or maybe even highlight it. You are female, so believe me you got a lot more going for you than just your hair!!!

Answer 9

I cut my long hair short..After awhile u get use to it.People will tell u ,u look better.
I wore mine long for over 9 years.Now i can wash and go.
Give it time.U are the same person,only with a new look.

Answer 10

Get another hair cut that looks better (but don't cut much more off ... just trim).

And then wait for your hair to grow out again.
