If you’ve ever had a less than fortunate haircut (who hasn’t?!), or are currently trying to grow one out now, these tips can help save your strand sanity, and possibly prevent a tress tragedy from happening at your next appointment.
1. Accessorize your do
Incorporating chic hair accessories or exposed bobby pins into your style helps lessen the look of a cut gone wrong. Got a too-short cut? Twist a few sections away from your face and secure it with a pin to create a quasi-updo.
2. Have fun with your hair
Changing up your look with a curling iron, flat iron, or diffuser can make your tresses more tolerable until they grow out. Who knows, you may even end up loving your new ‘do rather than loathing it.
3. Play with products
A little spray or texturizing cream goes a long way, adding fullness and manageability to otherwise flat-as-a-pancake strands. Slicking your hair back with gel into a sleek ponytail will also keep the hair out of your face – and off of your mind.
Growing your bangs out? Put them into a pompodore or pin them to the side to blend them in with the rest of your strands will also help mix up your look.
4. Go for extensions
The temptation of cutting your hair shorter when you get antsy from growing it out can be detrimental to your ‘do. Clip-in hair extensions are the perfect option because they’re affordable, can look like your own hair, and they’re temporary.
The key to making the pieces look real and not store brought is to take them to your stylist and have them trim the extensions so they blend seamlessly with your strands. Then, before you apply them at home, tease the hair one inch below the area you intend to use them. Next, add a little hairspray, and clip them in.
