We\u2019ve all been there \u2013 after what feels like an eternity in the salon chair, you swivel around for the big reveal only to realize that your fresh cut looks nothing like what you had in mind.<\/p>\n
But don’t panic just yet \u2013 instead, consider these four tips to help you deal with a disappointing new ‘do.<\/p>\n
Give it a few wash and wears<\/strong> Switch up your products<\/strong> Reconsider your part<\/strong> Talk it out<\/strong>
\nSometimes, it takes a few washes for the new cut to grow on you. Once the initial shock has worn off and you’ve managed to try a few different styling options, you’ll have a better sense of how you really feel about the cut.<\/p>\n
\nIf you\u2019ve taken styling into your own hands and still aren\u2019t loving it, it could be that your old hair heroes aren\u2019t necessarily what your new hair needs. Try switching up tools and products to make styling your new strands more successful.<\/p>\n
\nSwitching the placement of your part can totally change the shape of your cut. Try a deeper side part if you’re used to a middle part and vice versa. You might even be able to hide layered locks or bad bangs with a strategic part.<\/p>\n
\nYes, it can be a hard conversation to have, but it’s not as hard as living with a cut that you absolutely can’t stand. Wait until you feel calm and collected to give the salon a call. If you\u2019re a long-time client or otherwise close with your stylist, speak with them directly about what you\u2019re not loving. If you don\u2019t feel comfortable talking with the stylist \u2013 let alone having them re-cut your hair \u2013 chat nicely with the salon manager who should be able to help find a fix.<\/p>\n
