Just because you have an awful haircut doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.  Not that it doesn’t feel like it, because it does.  Hell, I’ve fallen victim to an unflattering cut.  I was mortified by the thought of having bad hair days until who knows when.

But it happens, you know?

Overall, an unfavorable haircut is the result of an inexperienced stylist or it just wasn’t the right haircut for the shape of your face.  Whatever the reason is, it’s a situation that needs to be fixed immediately.

Here are 6 easy ways to temporary fix a bad haircut:

1. Switch Parts.

Switching your part can instantly change your look and it can add a sense of freshness to your style.   Just grab a comb and switch sides or center your part for a high fashion look.

2. Ponytailshairstyle-ponytail-pony tail-tank top- brown hairPonytails are an easy way to hide just about any kind of hair disaster.  Put your hair in a high ponytail for a fun, sporty look.  Or in a low ponytail for a clean, chic look.  And if your hair is too short to pull back, try a temporary hair extension such as Vibralite clip-in extensions.

3.  Scrunch it

Straight hair tends to make a bad haircut more noticeable but curly hair will hide it.  Scrunch your hair and create an undone, beachy look.  Flip your head forward then add hairspray or mousse and with your hands scrunch your hair.  Flip your head back and scrunch your hair a little bit more.

4. Put it in a Bun.

Just put your hair in a bun at the nape of your neck, or just off to the side.  And to complete the look, add a  headband.

5. Accessorize.

Headbands, hats, clips, and  flowers work great to hide unsightly hair.

6. Pinup.

Trying to cover up a bang or fringe mishap?  Simply pin your bangs to the side or for an edgier look, tease the crown of your hair and pin it straight back.

Whatever you do do not cut your hair shorter!  Be patient, it will grow out.

I find that the ponytails and buns usually work for me when I’m unhappy with a cut.
