Bad hair cut - so annoyed

Sure it will grow back, assuming no lasting medical problem. He tried! I haven't been able to get to a hairdresser for ages and my mobile hairdresser couldn't come because all her family had Covid. So I then hacked mine myself and I bet it looks far worse than yours! - but compared to the fact a cousin of mine and her DH have just died in ICU of Covid, it doesn't matter a jot!X

Don't get cross with him, life is far to short for that. Your hair will grow back and may be even thicker. Xx

I cut my husband's hair while in lockdown but I wouldn't dream of letting him near mine! Nor would he offer.

I have seen pictures of worse haircuts than that where the person has been left nearly bald!
Hair will grow again and hopefully won't be too long before hairdressers are open again.
But entrusting someone with clippers that in untrained hands can be out of control, was a bit dicey at best!

I gave myself a disastrous hair cut in November, I don't know how it came out too short and uneven because I was pleased with the previous attempt done in the same way (I thought!). Just this week I find it has grown enough to look good again, so be patient! At least you probably won't be seeing many people anyway.

I wasn’t being harsh flakesdayout at all you previously talked at length how difficult your relationship was and said that your husband embarrassed you in front of friends so he didn’t sound the most reliable of people to cut your hair but I m really and genuinely pleased for you that you have managed to put all your problems behind you and now have a better relationship and trust him

4 inches is a lot of hair to lose (depending on how long it was to start with) but as others have said it will grow in time and why not change your hairstyle completely so people think you have done it on purpose or wear some turban like scarves
My hair grows about an inch a month so by Easter you ll be back to normal it’s not that long to wait really

I wouldn’t let the Pope near my hair ?

I'm just wondering if you could try using thinning scissors on the ends of your hair just to blur the unevenness a bit? You could order a pair online.

I quite often use them after a visit to the hairdresser, as I have temperamental hair which is tricky for even experienced hairdressers to cope with!

The only thing you can do, Flakesdayout, is wait for it to grow.

Why did you let your husband anywhere near this gadget?

Good point, Kate1949, there are always others far worse off than those who complain most.

I do understand how upsetting it can be. I remember many bad haircuts when I had hair. Apologies. Just because I haven't got hair doesn't mean you shouldn't be upset.

Sorry that he made a bad job this time, guess that he got complacent. I made a bad job of my husband's hair first time but have improved since. I wouldn't let him near my hair! I managed to get mine cut a couple of times in the last year. The only thing you can do is to find a hat that you like, I'm a fan of berets at the moment.

See the funny side of it. Stop making your OH feel bad about it - you did ask/ permit him to cut yours so you must have been willing to take the risk of a ‘dodgy’ haircut from someone untrained in hair cutting. Oh, and don’t look in the mirror ; )

It will soon grow back. I lost all mine when I had chemo so thank your lucky stars you aren't going through that and not got Covid 19.

Oh that everyone's problems were so minor!!

Sorry - forgot the photo!

Flakesdayout - it’ll grow! I realise everyone is telling you this, but it will! Think how grateful we’ll all be when the hairdressers can open up again. This picture is not if me - honest - but something I found on the Internet. Face obscured to protect the innocent!

I understand your anger but I still had a giggle. At the beginning of lockdown back in March, using my husband’s clippers I gave myself a really good cut, I actually received compliments without having to fish for them. However my son warned me ‘Oh Mum, be careful, I reckon one good cut, two bad with clippers ‘. He, an expert with the blades having used them for twenty odd years, but mother knew best .... Oh dear me, how right he was and how wrong was I. The only comfort I can offer, it’s only hair, it will grow and at least it’s winter so you can wear a hat when you go out for your daily exercise.

Bluebelle -I think that was a bit harsh and yes we have had issues in the past - lots - but he is what he is and the issues are behind us for now and life is good. I was upset because I thought I was going to lose my hair as was very ill. Ive not been able to see a hairdresser for well over a year and the first trim my OH did was great.
I couldnt see what he was doing as he was behind me. Chin length - yes it could be worse and there are people out there with worse things happening, but at the time it was a shock and I have managed to trim the uneven parts and get some shape.
I know it may be trivial and it will grow in time and thank you for some of the sympathetic replies.

It will grow - within a few weeks you probably won't think about it as there will be a little more hair and the edges will have softened.

Although he has a hair trimmer, Mr. S. had never used it until we bought some clippers for our dogs during the last lock down as they badly needed a trim.

I insisted he do his own hair before he went anywhere near the dogs.

Your post @ 03.06 made me laugh FannyCornforth

Wear a hat?

I wouldn't let DH cut the back of mine so did it myself ' it's shocking
It will grow! Be thankful it has thickened again.

Teacups and storms come to mind.

to be

It's annoying but I would give anything that be in your shoes. Try having alopecia like me.

I wouldn’t let my husband cut my hair under any circumstances even though he would probably do a very good job. My friend’s DH cut her hair in the first lockdown, oh dear! It took ages to grow out.

The poor man is not a hairdresser. He did his best. Lighten up. Hair grows. Mine is a straggly mess at the moment. Husband may be handed the scissors.
