Ended up taking a huge chunk out the side of her head. It was a massacre. There were tears and panic attacks, it was pretty full on and sucked to see her so upset.

I did the deed, my daughter told her she looks bad-ass, like Ripley and she’s finally come around to how great she looks with a shaved heid.

Anyone got any horror haircut stories I can use to cheer her up? Cheers!

    Segue into haircut.

    I went and got a spiral perm thinking it would be the perfect curly I’ve been looking for… It wasn’t. My hair was over processed. I knew how to deal with that from my kids bleaching their hair. I dealt with it for almost two years.

    I went to a beautician and told her to cut the perm out. I was over it and the damage.

    I left work with hair that when straightened went to the middle of my back. I returned the next day with hair just below my earlobe.

    Turns out that my hair follicles had changed and now… Well I will never need another perm the rest of my life.

    Hair grows and changes. She has the chance to rock a Mohawk (if this is no longer what is called I apologize). Or dye it the rainbow! It’s short so it’ll grow out quickly!!

    Now if the time to have some fun!

      That’s mental - I had no idea they could do that! Must have felt mental going from so long to so short as well.

      She’s came down with her makeup all done and looking fantastic, so I think crisis averted!

        I have had long hair my whole life. It was a drastic change and yeah it couldn’t grow fast enough.

        I’m glad she’s leaning into it!

      My wife’s grandmother went through chemo and was so happy when her hair grew back naturally curly and she never had to get a perm again. Was nice for something to make her happy after it all!
