When I went to University I moved away from home and I wanted to reinvent myself!
I cut it super short and dyed it red!
What a mistake!
Took forever to get the red out of my natural blond.

I remember a few years ago I wanted my hair cut really nice before leaving on vacation for a week at Christmas time. I brought a picture of a girl with a choppy, textured edgy bob and couldn't wait to get it. Usually my stylist is always amazing at giving me what I wanted. But this time she was emotional about a friend just dying and I should have cancelled for a better date. (Never get your hair cut by an emotional hair stylist EVER!) But I was determined to have a nice cut for my vacation. Unfortunately what I got was a really short mullet. The whole time I walked home I was shaking from the cold but always I could feel my emotions getting the better of me. When I got home my Mom looked at me and was like "Oh you changed your mind about the style?" I immediately started to cry and spent my whole vacation spending it flat ironing and using products to desperately try to make it look good.
Eventually I end up growing it out and cut into a simple inverted bob. But man, I felt so ugly for a longtime. Nothing worse then a bad hair cut.

My best hair cut and style I've had was probably when I wore it long, black and with a big fuchsia pink peekaboo chunk. I felt like the real me and sometimes still think about going back. :)
Everyone should have fun with their hair...just make sure you have a fantastic stylist (that isn't having a bad day lol) and the balls to carry it off!

As a rebellious teenager in the punk rock era I cut half of my hair very very short and bleached it white blonde, while leaving the other half long, curly and dyed black. It was cool at the time but I cringe now when I see old photos.

The first and only time I box dyed my own hair, and I hadn't washed my hair in a couple days or brushed my curls out very well. All went according to plan applying the dye and allowing it to set. When I went in the shower to wash the dye out I had handfuls of hair coming out (or at least what it felt like as I have really long hair). I was panicking and thought I had ruined my hair and it was all falling out. I called my regular salon and of course I had to tell the receptionist (who was a classmate I wasn't really friends with) my name what was going on and my reason for my appointment. It was so embarrassing. When I got there for the appointment my stylist assessed the situation and determined that I did nothing wrong and it was just normal hair loss that sent me into a panic. She did of course correct my color as it was way darker than I was going for and advised me to leave the dye jobs to her. Never again, LOL.

I cut my hair really short once...Never again...way too much work and not looking good on me. I have a lot of hair

I have always had really long hair. Twice I was dumb enough to cut it right off, pixie-style. I cried in the barber chair, and I cried for months at home afterwards.
Some people should not cut their hair short and I am some.
Learned my lesson the hard way.

When I was a teen I finally decided to get layers cut into my long hair, I'd never got them before because I worried that they wouldn't look right. I sat down, took off my glasses and the hairdresser started cutting, then her friend came in.

They started chatting, the hairdresser kept cutting but had her face towards her friend and I couldn't see what was going on but expected that she knew what she was doing.

I was wrong, she realized that she wasn't paying enough attention and said "oops." Oops indeed, she had cut huge chunks out of my hair mid-length! There was little bits of hair sticking out all over and what was left of my length was scraggly looking. I was so upset but the hairdresser said: "Don't worry, it'll grow back." I was so shocked that I paid and left (if I had been in the right frame of mind, I wouldn't have paid but at the moment I just wanted out of there.)

I had to get my hair cut short and it was a long time before it was decent again :'(

When i was 13, i had really long hair, but decided that i was old enough to go to the hairdresser for the first time by myself. I had asked for it to be cut to my shoulders, but the hairdresser kept going shorter and shorter and shorter. When i walked out and saw my mom, she actually cried! My long curls were gone and i was now left with a boys haircut! I was so traumatized by this, that it was literally years and years (in fact, close to 15yrs) before i went back to a hair dresser to have my hair cut again. Instead (luckily with my curls it didn't have to be too even) i just cut it myself. The day I went back to have it cut, which was just after the birth of my daughter, I was the one to cry! I was shaking, terrified and crying! But it was all good. Turned out ok. Now, i am the complete opposite! While i still continue to not go very often to get my hair cut, the last time i did, and this was my first time at this hairdresser's since we had just moved to the area, i just said, "do whatever you think would look good". In the end, when she turned my chair around for me to see, I had the most amazing cut and color make-over that i am in love with, and have never had more compliments about my hair! Lesson learned is that sometimes we make mistakes, but never be afraid to try again, since the results may be even better than you could have imagined! :) <3

I have long hair and I am absolutely terrified of cutting it short! I went short once, and the woman gave me a terrible mullet-like cut with what looked like a rat tail in the back, absolutely awful! Since then it's been long, long, long! I would love to try a shorter look but that's a pretty big risk for me! I've also never coloured my hair as I love my blonde, but every time I pass the hair dye in the store I wonder how I would look with a different hair colour.
