Hair:5 tips to save a failed haircut

We all know this disastrous return from the hairdresser, where we don't really know if we should cry or if we want to shave all of our hair... We had a sudden urge to change our heads and that's when everything changed:we had however asked for a small curtain fringe (which is super trendy at the moment) or a slight gradient at the tips, and we end up with something shapeless and uncombable, even after the first wash . A disaster ! If you are in this case, here are 5 tips to put the pieces back together (in the figurative sense of course)!

1/ We put accessories in the hair

It allows you to camouflage the mini fringe or the hair that you find too short. In any case, it's a double bonus:we forget our super ugly cut, and it gives a great hair style. You can start with small clips, or barrettes, to finish with a scarf (in summer) or a headband (in winter).

2/ We test hairstyles

A disheveled bun, a half-bun, a French braid or an ear of wheat braid… Everything is good to hide a haircut that you find failed. The hairstyle to test depends above all on the level of failure (if you have short hair , very short, or even mid-length). We try, everything is good to take in this situation! We don't hesitate to google "hairstyle + hair length" to find inspiring tutorials.

3/ Treat yourself to a beautiful material

You can already forget drying your hair in the open air:if you want to try to go out with a minimum of style (hair, of course), you optimize the material:you curl it with an iron, you smooth it, we give them texture and volume with a salt spray… And of course, we want them shiny, just to divert attention from the failed haircut. So, we put on a finishing spray or a gloss to pschitter on still damp hair.

4/ We go to (another) hairdresser

This is the solution if you really can't take it anymore:go to another hairdresser hoping that he can catch up! The positive point:when you have been disappointed with your first cup, you know how to explain much better what you want to obtain for the second. It allows the hairdresser to better understand our desires! When leaving, the haircut will rarely be worse than the one you came in with.

5/ We boost regrowth

Considering that hair grows one centimeter per month on average, sometimes you have to be patient to recover a nice length (at this rate, we will always have the same cut this summer and it is not possible !). We therefore give a boost to her hair by taking a course of special hair food supplements and/or brewer's yeast. Castor oil can also be applied to the roots at night, as a mask, which is rinsed off in the morning before shampooing.

Above all, we keep in mind that hair grows back and that it is certainly not as dramatic as we think... Courage!
