Haircut hell

May • 27 y/o full time student & mom of 7 year old with downs and a 4 month old girl. Married to a dreamboat and creating my first online sales website.

I went to get my hair trimmed up last week, I've had it pixie short since I had my son in 2010. This pregnancy and this year was the longest my hair had been since. I felt so confident and happy. mind you I had also bleached it so it was a little damaged, but I went to a new stylist because I moved from Ohio to Kentucky. My ends were damaged and she cut it dry but very minimal to the point I had to go back and get a second cut two days later. She charged me less but when I told her I wanted a little more off somehow I ended up with over an inch off all over and random ass layers in my hair. I left with a damn mullet and about in tears while she made my husband look amazing. She said she was trying to keep my length but get the damage off and there was not that much. I panicked after and colored my hair dark and in 1 day went from feeling my most beautiful and confident in years to feeling the ugliest I had in years and now I don't know whether to start over or wait out the mullet. It is so bad I can't even just put it up like I used to. I guess I just needed to vent because as well as putting on more weight than my first pregnancy I am also now feeling way less confident due to this. My hair was something I could control and play with and now it's gone and no one else seems to understand 😔
