In reply to the discussion: You know that moment...? When you realize the hair stylist completely misunderstood what you said? [View all]Raffi Ella
(4,465 posts)34. I cut my own hair but yeah, it always feels short to me for a couple of weeks
after I cut it no matter how long it is. But I've never cut that much off at once! That's gotta be a shocker for you.
I've never had good luck with salons, they never knew what to do with all my hair. I took a chance a few years ago and went to one. I told her I wanted long layers cut in. I ended up with a huge uneven chunk off the left front side. It was insane! She must have been drunk.
I somehow manged to blend it in but omg, it was a nightmare. I haven't been back since. I keep it long with some top layers. I have to be able to pull it back in a pony when I work out or when I'm having a bad hair day. I would freak if I couldn't put it in a pony.
Do you think you're going to like it at that length? or will you grow it back?

Just had a haircut Friday. Every time I've done a drastic cut...I've regretted it.
