How To Salvage A Bad Haircut!

A bad haircut is a nightmare that all of us have had, and most of us have lived through. However, a ruined hairstyle does not have be the end of the universe. In the dusts of disaster lay the seeds of opportunity, and here are some important tips to remember in order to make a bad hairstyle work for you.

Don’t panic

It is okay to feel upset when a haircut does not turn out the way you expected it would. But one thing you should not do is panic. Many a salvageable haircut has been further ruined by people making bad decisions while panicking. Take deep breaths, take stock of the situation by analysing what you have to work with, and keep all your options open.

Make bobby pins and hairbands your BFFs

Simple hair accessories are criminally underrated. A couple of well-placed bobby pins can completely overhaul your look. This really pays off when you are trying to hide or do something new with a haircut gone wrong. If you have length to play with, then a hairband is a fantastic option—it never goes out of style and there is no limit to the number of design and colour options at your disposal.
