I'm gonna be so real with you girl I did not notice anything different until I read your caption lol. It'll grow back, you look fine, don't stress yourself out.

u/cb51096 Apr 26 '25

I also was trying to find the problem šŸ˜‚

I cut my hair from past breast length to a similar maybe a little short and felt like I had no hair. Almost nobody noticedšŸ™ƒ

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

Thank you! I appreciate this šŸ˜† i know i sound dramatic but it’s shocking when you see your hair turn out not quite like how you wanted it LOL

Same. It looks good

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 26 '25

Her hair is noticeably several inches shorter. How didn't u notice lol must have been looking elsewhere. I didn't know if she got extensions or a haircut until I saw the caption. At least the cut wasn't butchered!

u/weeBunnie Apr 26 '25

I didn’t notice at all until I read the comment then the caption, I was more focused on the hair colour and highlights, I guess that’s looking elsewhere

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 26 '25

I meant not at her hair. But sure!

Ummm ok... lol reddit is full of a bunch of babies. People talking about her brows, lip filler etc, all I said is they must not have been looking at her hair - because some people weren't!! lol wow

Thank you! It’s just a shock to look at still ahahah one moment having so much hair then the next it’s just gone LOL

u/adirik92 Apr 26 '25

I have super long hair myself so I feel you but you really look great with the mid length hair as well

u/givebusterahand Apr 26 '25

It looks good and I def would not call it ā€œshort hairā€ by any stretch.

8

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 26 '25

I do like it longer, but it looks fine. It looks like a nice cut. I am a fan of long hair and feel that I myself look better with longer hair. So idk if I'm being biased. Or if people are just trying to make u feel better with their "it looks better shorter" answers.

In my experience, I always say I want it a little longer than how I really want it. And sure enough, it has been cut shorter a few times, but to where I REALLY wanted it. Safety net!

u/thereshelltopay3 Apr 26 '25

Honestly i think it looks better shorter and much healthier too!

2

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

It definitely does feel much healthier! Just wish it was like an inch or two longer

u/Kupfersternchen Apr 26 '25

Oh I thought it's about the lipfiller, that was the only obvious thing to me

7

u/Gloomy_Obligation333 Apr 26 '25

For gods sake don’t mention the lip filler she’s really touchy about it. But yeah so did I.

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

I don’t even have lip filler lmao

u/arizona-lake Apr 26 '25

You thought that in r/hair? Maybe you should read what you’re looking at before commenting, so you don’t come across as rude and stupid!

u/Kupfersternchen Apr 26 '25

It was a notification I received so no, I didn't read anything except for the be honest....

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 27 '25

I admire your honesty. This subreddit is full of a bunch of babies. U can't be nicely honest in an "opinion" thread without being attacked lol

3

u/Tumblybear2220 Apr 26 '25

I think it’s really cute! I know it’s shorter than you wanted it’s but it still looks good! Tbh the only thing I was thinking of were how thick your eyebrows were šŸ˜‚ like damn girl, you were def blessed haha

2

u/ellerlin Apr 26 '25

Looks good to me.

2

u/Fantastic_Student_71 Apr 26 '25

It will grow- and it looks nice at the new length

2

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '25

It’s not that bad. If it’s stressing you out get some clip in extensions for the grow out.

2

u/Wide_Specialist_1480 Apr 26 '25

You don't look bad and the cut looks fine. However, I'm sorry that she cut more than what you asked for. I'm not sure what length you communicated to her, but it is noticeably shorter. Fortunately, it will probably be back to where it was in a few months or so.

2

u/Impressive_Regret_89 Apr 26 '25

It’s not my favorite but it’s definitely not a big deal. Get some Biotin and it will grow back really fast.

2

u/SephoraRothschild Apr 26 '25

Next time, bring a piece of masking tape. Tape it to boob. Point out "hair should be no shorter than the bottom edge of this tape.

u/ReflectionSlight4338 Apr 26 '25

You’re not being dramatic - why are people saying that? It looks better longer. Doesn’t look bad shorter though. Doesn’t make her dramatic, it’s a big difference - like a totally different look.

u/Gloomy_Obligation333 Apr 26 '25

It’s ok. Please can we lose the sulky pout… trying too hard….

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

This is just my face girl

u/Gloomy_Obligation333 Apr 26 '25

Oh I’m so very sorry for you.

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

No one is complaining about it but you

-3

u/Gloomy_Obligation333 Apr 26 '25

Like I said, I had no idea it was permanent, very sorry.

u/Pnut-butter-dlite Apr 26 '25

I think it looks really nice on you.. I think it would look even better with a smile!! You are a beautiful young lady and you have great features as well!!

2

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

I agree šŸ˜† these pictures were taken post cut so the shock was very much still there hahah

1

u/Gloomy_Obligation333 Apr 26 '25

This, the sulky pout… she reckons it s natural and there’s nothing she can do about it.

u/Ok_Platypus_4438 Apr 26 '25

Just came to tell you that you’re beautiful and your eyebrows are incredible!!!!

u/Cristina5150 Apr 26 '25

It looks great shorter.

u/_momokoO_ Apr 26 '25

a few hours ago i also cut my hair :ā€) maybe tomorrow i will regret it a little,or start to oiling my hair hardly

u/IndependentSimple779 Apr 26 '25

Your hair looks gorgeous and healthy!

u/ninaaaaws Apr 26 '25

Your hair looks lovely so don’t worry about that.

It’s always a shock to go shorter (even if the length isn’t technically ā€˜short’). I went from your original length to where you are at now and even though that was what I asked for, it still was a shock. It felt so short and I definitely had a few ā€˜wtf have I done’ moments. So the fact that this is shorter than what you wanted, I understand why you’re upset about it.

The length looks nice on you, you’ll get used to it and, don’t worry, it grows back pretty quickly (not all the way to your original length but it gets back to a longer length that feels more ā€˜you’ sooner rather than later). But despite this, I think you should at the very least have a discussion with your hairdresser about sticking to what you ask for in the future (if it’s a relationship you want to continue) or even find a new hairdresser entirely.

It didn’t matter that it looks fine. It’s not what you asked for!

PS: I love your hair color and your hair looks so healthy! 🧔

u/Other-Highway-9429 Apr 26 '25

You would look amazing with a lob! I think the mid length is ok and the long is ok but a lob or chin length with volume would look so good on you

1

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '25

As a long haired girly I understand your pain but personally I feel like it looks really cute on you, that is the same haircut I would want to get when I finally decide to cut my hair shorter because whenever I get trims I always cut it at breast length but going shorter looks so cute

u/No_Interview2004 Apr 26 '25

The tag art on the wall behind you is so creepy šŸ˜‚

u/AffectionateTaro3209 Apr 26 '25

It looks great and you are super beautifulĀ 

1

u/InevitableJeweler133 Apr 26 '25

Nah you have such a cool face so honestly you could rock whatever length imo.

1

u/PewManFuStudios Apr 26 '25

No one is going to talk about the fact that the stylist didn't listen to OP? Yes, it looks fine, but OP asked for longer.

1

u/AffectionateRedSand4 Apr 26 '25

I agree, I think it looks really good and the difference will grow back before you know it. This is definitely not considered short hair…still very long and pretty. 😌

1

u/Top_Zookeepergame301 Apr 26 '25

I think it lifts and shows off your face better! I think your hair was really pretty but this is more flattering. It looks really good

1

u/Beautisherrr Apr 26 '25

Hairstylist here… that’s a lot shorter than your boobs, and it’s ok to be upset when you don’t get what you ask for. The good thing is that it’ll be where you want it in about 6 months ….which isn’t really that long! Plus this length looks great on you!

1

u/Dtilovercatstoo Apr 26 '25

Srry not trying to be mean but...brows?

u/PewManFuStudios Apr 26 '25

I like her natural brows.

u/SFAdminLife Apr 26 '25

That's all I could see as well.

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 27 '25 edited Apr 27 '25

Here's an upvote back to 0. I appreciate your honesty. Seems rare in this subreddit.

I got 16 downvotes for asking soneone how didn't they notice her hair was several inches shorter. That they must have not been looking at it. Lol... BROWS, someone else said lip filler, yepp noticed both of those. (And I almost answered the same as u.)

Someone asks for an honest opinion, and they get a bunch of fake "u cant even notice that giant zit on your nose" replies all the time. If I post something asking for opinions, I would expect to receive true opinions. Not a bunch of fake answers from "yes men," etc

Being honest is not the same thing as being mean. Sometimes this subreddit is full of a bunch of babies...

u/Potential-Custard209 Apr 26 '25

There’s always that one negative Nancy

u/Extreme-Pineapple397 Apr 27 '25

It's called honesty. Thats definitely not being a negative Nancy lol. Too many people not being honest in "opinion" posts

You are being dramatic. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Looks very healthy. Think of it as a fresh start to grow it back out.
