I got talked into a short haircut and now I want to kill myself.

[graywarrior]

Or kill someone else.

1. Hun, given how lovely you are,

I doubt it's as awful as you think :hug: :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

2. Duck tape on some extensions until it grows back

:hi:
I hate getting my hair cut too, and it's even worse when the outcome is worse than I feared.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

3. I know the feeling.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear graywarrior.......

Let me help........

Hair grows......you will be OK.........

We love you no matter what your hair looks like......

Cause you are beautiful!



Psst...how about a pic?

[graywarrior]

6. Thank you thank you all.

I would break a camera if I took a pic. Why do I get talked into this shit? 2 years ago, I swore I'd never cut it in layers again. I'm such an alcoholic.

[Sugar Smack]

5. Stick a bird to the wall! That'll cheer you up!

(really though, I've had the same. sorry hunny! :pals: )

[graywarrior]

8. I'm stripping the duct tape off that little phoney and wrapping

it around my head.

[Sugar Smack]

9. LISTEN, please don't - all you have to do is cry for 3 months!!

That's what made my hair grow back. I swear, it's infallible. :D

[graywarrior]

10. Cry? I want to wail.

One of my co-workers (one that I like)looked at me today and said, "you're crazy." I have to deal with the public!!! I'm doomed.

[IsIt1984Yet]

11. People suck like that.

I did the same thing you did when I was about 21. This guy at work who CONSTANTLY hit on me literally said "the death of beauty" as he shook his head looking at me when I got a bad short cut.

It will grow back and you will FEEL beautiful again (I'm sure you ARE, but may not feel that way now)... but ugly people with ugly hearts will always be ugly people with ugly hearts.

[Sugar Smack]

14. One weekend my best friend and I did shots of Jaegermeister (sp?)

and then we streaked each other's hair. The next morning I woke up with white streaks that turned orange in my normally brownish-red hair. Believe me, I didn't want to go to work, and the baseball cap I wore added to everyone's amusement & curiosity.

But I think what YOU can do is find a pair of long, dangly earrings and huge black sunglasses (like Jackie O or Yoko Ono) and then sail around on your new image. You have one now, & it's hard to catch up with it especially since you're comfortable with who you are already.

I say have a little fun, and sort of poke the image a little. Really. Act as though you wanted nothing more than this CHANGE. If that doesn't work, I'll shave my own head!

:loveya:

[Deja Q]

34. I thought he was trying a replacement for chicken choking...

:hide:

[texanwitch]

7. I am sure you look very nice,

Your new hair style will grow on you.

[SOteric]

12. I sooo know that feeling

from back in my chemo days. :hug: The good news is, - It grows back faster than you think.

[reyd reid reed]

13. Maybe it's just the shock?

Because it's so different? You might feel differently in a few days. And, if not, it'll grow back.

I always hate when I get my hair cut, too.

:hug:

[redwitch]

15. It's just hair darlin'. It'll grow back.

speaking as someone who has had more than her share of bad 'dos.

:hug:

[graywarrior]

16. Lesson: Never get a haircut in a hick town.

Especially in a salon where all the stylists are talking about Rockstar:Supernova. Sheesh.

[Redstone]

19. Does that mean that Mrs R is going to have to go to Boston to get

her hair done after we move?

That'll get damned expensive.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

41. I know a good stylist in North Conway.

I've just been too busy to get down there.

[Redstone]

42. That works. The little guy and I can check out the trains while

she gets her hair done.

Redstone

[Redstone]

17. Kill the person who talked you into it, and wait. It'll grow back.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

18. If you move here, Redston, I can tell you where not to go.

I may have to kill a tourist.

[Redstone]

21. There are plenty of flatlanders. Go ahead and kill one. He or she

won't be missed.

Redstone

[graywarrior]

23. So many tourists, so little time.

[bigwillq]

20. Any pics?

:shrug:

I'm sure you look fine. :hi:

[graywarrior]

22. God, no. I don't want any evidence of this catastrophe.

[bigwillq]

24. Come on...

let the good people of DU decide how the new cut looks! :) ;)

[graywarrior]

26. OK, so that brings me to the story of buying a camera on ebay

and when I got it, it didn't work and the seller is a little dooshbag who is taking her time refunding my money. I've had a bad week. My cat got into a fight with a bear last night and I couldn't get back to sleep after breaking it up.

[bigwillq]

27. Oh jeez...

how is your cat doing? :shrug:


Sorry about the bad week. May next week be better to you. :hug: :hi:

[graywarrior]

28. My cat is insane. I'm just finding that out after 2 years.

[bigwillq]

30. Who won the fight?

:shrug:

[graywarrior]

35. Cat.

Bear took off like a little coward.

[bigwillq]

37. Wow!

Good for Cat. :bounce:

[graywarrior]

39. I'm a-scared of him now. Crazy Maine Coon.

[Cobalt Violet]

25. Your hair may be in shock too.

It may need to adjust to being it's new length.

Rubber Rage is one of my favorite styling products for short hair.

I don't really know how short your's is though. You can really piece it and put it in place with this stuff. It doesn't make it stiff like a mousse or gel and it's easier to use than a wax or paste. It gives it great shine and controls frizz too. Yet it is touchable and still feels like hair with this stuff in it. Start with a little and add more as need until you know how much to use.

I'm sorry you don't like it but maybe you can find a way to style it that makes it bearable enough that you won't kill yourself.

[graywarrior]

31. Can I get it at WalMart, the only store in a 30 miles radius of me?

[Cobalt Violet]

36. I'm not sure.

I know it is a professional product but sometime those product show up in Wal-Mart too. If your Wal-Mart has a salon in it, then I think they would carry it. If you have a salon near you they may have it.

Otherwise look on-line.

[graywarrior]

40. Thanks. I may have to order it.

[Evoman]

29. Can I talk you into shaving it bald?

*grin*

Then you can look like me!

[graywarrior]

33. Bet it would look better than it does now.

[caty]

32. Sometimes, it's not the haircut.

It's that you just are not used to seeing yourself with short hair. In a couple of weeks, you might love the new look. The trick to short hair is eye make up and the right ear rings.;-)

"Short hair cuts are timeless; they can make you look younger and at the same time more intelligent. They can boost your confidence."

[graywarrior]

38. I was going for this....

[Dangerously Amused]

43. That looks like a good sturdy gel and significant blow drying time.

But I'll bet you can still do it.


Did it look that way when the stylist was done and now you're having a hard time recreating it?

[u4ic]

44. I used to have

that second last one.

I LOVED it that short, but it just got too expensive to keep on going to the hairdressers every few weeks. Once it grew out a few inches, it didn't look good on me anymore. I needed it that short.
