in Chit-Chat
So, I just got a haircut that I'm not happy with. At all. I got it for free, so I maybe shouldn't complain, but I'm not okay with it. At all.

Basically, I have about 1 inch of hair growth left on the back of my head, and the rest of my hair looks like Titanic-era Leonardo DiCaprio.

I don't have much hair to work with. Does anybody out there have some helpful style suggestions? Please, and thanks.

    Shave it all off and start over. Get some hats.

    There's a possibility I might be interviewing for a grad school position in the coming 2-3 months. My hair grows fast- it doesn't grow that fast.

    Go to the vitamin section and get some Biotin. It will aid in thickening and encourage faster growth. Will do the same thing to your nails.

    Get some of the hair skin and nail vitamins and take those. Also, use the deep scalp conditioners. This will help it to grow not super fast, but faster than usual. Also, go to a hairstylist and pay for a cut. Anne Hathaway looks cute with her really short do. It will be much more flattering than a leo dicaprio cut.

    Ive done this. When i saw myself in the mirror i cried and asked for some alcohol, immediatley! i found that bed Head makes some great styling products for short hair. Just get some of their texturing paste, rub it in and go. The messy look is ALWAYS super cute!

    go to a real hair stylest and get your money's worth out of a STYLE and tell her she needs to explain to you exactly how to fix it ... other than that your hair is what it is and time is your only friend to get rid of it

    My hair is already obnoxiously thick. If it grows in any thicker, it might take on a life of its own and terrorize a small town.

    Hats... lots of hats. 2 -3 months your hair should be grown out enough to do more with it.

    Biotin gave me acne. I have used an love Country Maxi hair vitamins. I get them off amazon for $11.00 they have biotin in them but also have MSM in th which helps my hair growth an silica too. I've noticed accelerated growth from taking bamboo caps because bamboo is a form of silica.

    I am also interviewing for jobs right now so I now how important it is to your self esteem to look good. Is it too short to get extensions? If your not happy with the length, that is a temporary quick fix. It might just be a shock if your used to your hair being a certain length, you may just need time to adjust. You can also check out pintrest, they usually have styling tips, se link and good luck with your interview!

    Without really seeing what the cut looks like, I think it's hard to give any advice on how to style it right now. But the advice that's been given about the biotin and investing in some cute hats is really the best thing at this point...
    It's tough having a bad hair cut, been there. If you can find a reputible stylist, definately make an appointment and see what he/she can do for you. If they're really good, they'll line up future appointments with you to help the process as it grows out so you don't end up with a bad grow out (which can be as nasty as the bad hair cut that started it all).
    Good luck!

    You could go for hair extensions. That way you'd have your hair at something longer till it grows out. The other option, go ask for a Master stylist and tell her what happened. Ask her to create a short haircut that will grow out looking nice. If you pay for the more experienced stylist you'll get the help you need. Call the salon and indicate you need someone REALLY experienced to take care of a disaster of a cut and the person must be creative and experienced.
