A bad haircut is the worst! I…MEAN…THE…WORST! It dampens your mood, your morning (as you try and salvage it) and you dread thinking about how long it is going to take to grow out into something else. Well, imagine that happening to a natural who has entrusted someone with her tresses even though she truly feared it would be a bad idea.
Should we trust them? Should we give them a try? Sure, why not because going to the salon can be a pleasant experience and even stress-relieving. So as more of us take part in trusting salons again we run the risk of bad services regardless of the recommendations of others. Sometimes you just get a bad haircut.
OK, you got the bad cut. Now, what do you do? Just wait for it to grow out? Well, you kind of have to do that anyway but there are other options to stay looking amazing while you wait for that messed up style to work its way out of your hair’s system.
Wig it – Rock a wig, braids, or hair clips like to hide the hideous cut until it grows out. No one says it has to be forever but if you cannot stand your cut there is no need to torturing yourself by trying to work with the style.
Rock the scarves, hats and headbands – Too easy to do and with hats, scarves and headbands being so popular you can hide your mishap quite easily with several items from a Loc Soc to a slouchy hat.
Correct it – Sometimes it is just easier to bite the bullet and correct it. Now, this could be tricky because do you really want to go back to ole girl who jacked you up, or do you want to chance your hair with someone else? It is up to you to decide but a true natural hair professional should be able to rescue your hair from its present state and give you an alternative look to rock.
Always remember hair grows back and this is just a temporary setback in your beautiful natural hair journey.
Keeping your sanity naturals
