NEVER say to your hairdresser, "Yeah, I'm a bit bored with my hair, I want it to be a bit more, y'know, funky. Edgy."
Because the result is THIS:
I'm pretty sure my expression says it all, right?
I hesitate to say 'Worst. Haircut. Ever' because I know for a fact there are three people past and present with worse haircuts than this; unfortunately, one of them was also me after a similarly ill-advised carte-blanche-giving episode as a naive teenager. Seriously, I know directional pageboys are all the rage now, but don't give a girl with big glasses permanently glued to her conk one! I look... so silly. Sob.
Also, it looks like my skin is bad here but actually it's just bits of loose hair and random sticky-out ends. Usually I ask my hairdresser to leave my hair textured, and invariably leave with it ironed and plastered down with product. Today I asked for it smooth... and got textured.
I walked home feeling that everyone was laughing at me, so please excuse me as now I have to go and die... ahem, sorry, dye. Perhaps some colour will make this monstrosity acceptable...
WEll, a dye job does appear to have done me some good, because I no longer feel like committing seppuku. I dug out my old contact lenses too. I might need to invest in some for actually wearing (the scrip on these is wrong) although they might not ever replace my glasses for everyday wear.
Onto the photos!
Hurrah, I can dress up as Disney Snow White for Hallowe'en.
THE EDIT: DRAMA OVER!!!

I feel happier than I evidently look. It has got a sort of twenties-ish thing going on, not that I would have been in any way an acceptable specimen of femininity back then.
So there you have it. Hair disaster averted by way of a £4.50 box of hair dye, an inexpert blow-dry, and a ton of kohl eyeliner.

Clearly you just have more skill than the hairdresser. Sorry it took a while to get there but glad you like it now. I think the darker shade really suits you. Gives you really strong features. x
Nice color job! Love the lipstick color.
Schmergen!! You look beautiful,doll!! I didn't think it was a bad cut,but you clearly did,and kudos for not bumming out,you took control and made a total winner out of it!!Very Louise Brooks,very pretty!xxx
Fabulous! I had a disasterous fringe cut many moons ago which made me look like a serial killer but yours looks fabulous and extremely glam. xxx
I rather liked the first photo but the dye job and the happier face in the second set of pics makes all the difference :) You look super glam with the smoky eyes and that fab dark lippy.
I actually think you look very pretty. And thanks for your sweet comment on my last post as well, it's an interesting subject. I love the hair bow and the make-up in the second set of pictures. xxx
Good thing about hair is that it grows! So cheer up, soon you'll have it long again! :)
