Ok, so if you saw my post yesterday or my tweets, you know that I'm not a very happy camper about my new haircut that I got on Saturday. And I've decided to go back to the salon tomorrow after work, where she will try to do some damage control for free.
But in the meantime, don't cha all want to see the horror I've been living with the past few days? I'm betting these pictures will make you feel really good about your own hair do!
First, this is it freshly blown dry, not curled at all. Bleh! I want my layers back, damn it!
(Please excuse my dirty mirror, and the fact that I'm in my PJs, with a wet spot on my back from my hair!)See, the top layer should have been cut about 1/3rd as thick, and at least two extra layers should have been kept in the middle. :(
I seriously feel mutilated. After trusting my stylist for over 6 years without ever a problem. Now I get why the girls on ANTM cry on makeover week!
Pretty much there's no wearing it like I was in my pre-cut post last week, with just the ends curled, or else I just look stupid. This can never be (oh how I miss you!):

The only fix I've been able to come up with is some major curling. Not something I want to do every single day of my life just to get by. This is what it looked like yesterday morning, the curling kind of made the ridonk top layer blend with the stupid bottom layer.
The problem is (other than the obvious) is that it took me about 45 minutes to curl my hair this much, because the now exposed bottom layer doesn't curl very well, or hold curl very well, so it takes forever. And after being terrified all day to lean back or bump my hair, and make the curls fall out, it looked like this at about 9:30pm.
Not as horrifically terrible as I expected, but the top layer still bugs the crap out of me, especially from the side. It poofs out too much, because my hair is just way too thick to be reduced to two stupid layers.
Sorry for making you guys listen to my ranting. Can you tell I'm a little upset about this? Yeah, after some sleepless nights and bad dreams, this is definitely effecting me more than I thought it would!
So now I'm going back tomorrow night to see what can be done. And I'm bringing pictures with me. First, this is what I wanted, just more layers than I had, keeping my length, and the option to be able to wear it all curly, or with only the bottom of the layers curled under:

But the problem is, I'm not sure my hair is salvageable. I don't think I want that lonely bottom long layer cut into, to create pathetic, thin layers on top of it. It's already so thin!
So the only other option I can think of is to cut my bottom layer up to about half way down my back, so there's less of a gap between it and the too short layer, and then add some wispy layers even higher than my top layer. Then in a year when it grows out it might actually look like what I wanted?
I'm envisioning something like Courtney Cox's hair in Cougar Town, but longer:

It's all I've been able to come up with as a fix. One year (at least) until I will have hair I like again. Sigh!
Unless you, my lovely readers, can come up with another suggestion? I'm really open to them if you can think of some other way I can keep my length, and not look like I have a weird short and long mullet back hair do when it's not spiral curled.
Please help! I've got until 5pm tomorrow night to figure out something, because I'm not trusting my stylist again, I need a plan!
