Any woman worth her weight in Wella Baslam, if being honest, could admit to a disastrous hairstyle … or two. When Kirsty at My Home Truths tossed out the challenge to confess some bad dos, I knew I was up for it.
Some women just have beautiful hair.
I don’t.
If I had any confidence in the possibility of a nicely shaped skull, I’d even consider removing the lot of it. At the moment it is long-ish. The second longest it has ever been in my life, and I guess it’s my last hurrah at growing it. At my age, so my mother believes, women should be wearing their hair shorter – you know, mature and all? That may actually be the very single reason why I beg it to keep growing. Always a rebel….
My natural color could best be described as gray. Kylie, the hairdresser, assures me that at only 70% gray it could be worse. I choose to be blonde. Every six weeks I visit Kylie so that she can drag strands through the streaking cap to disguise the inevitable and keep me looking glamorous. High maintenance but,with a short gray crop the alternative, I’m not ready to be confused for Baby Girl’s Nana. Yet.
In looking back at some of the truly shit hairdos I’ve had, it seemed that words would be useless without evidence. Luckily for the sake of my dignity, some of the worst dos will forever remain my secret as I couldn’t locate the pics. So sorry, I did try though, promise.
If you feel like a chuckle, just take a look at these cracker dos ….
1. Short. Boring. Needs a color or something, anything. Blerrrghhh.
2. Medium with flicky bits at the back. Anyone lose their poodle?
3. Mum always made me have short hair growing up and this crew cut was the typical style of my youth. Has it left me with issues? Much?
4. This is pretty much as it is now. Longer than it’s been for years and a blonde bombshell attempt at blending greys.
5. Don’t mind this sleek bob – aside from the need to have the roots done – but ultimately I’m not a daily straightener kind of gal.
6. Woooohoo wind blown furball. Noice!
7. High school, home dyed, short ball of fluff on my head. Very flicky. Very bad.
8. Fire engine red and a short, short fringe. Ewwwwwww, no.
9. This is as good as a fringe gets on me. It’s so-so and, as you can see, I’ve had worse!
10. Ha! It’s a wig! Tricked you!
Can you recall a particular hair-do disaster? Have you ever had a haircut go horribly wrong? Please tell and share the love!
I missed last week but I’m back linking this up with Kirsty at My Home Truths and enjoying what others are fessing up to! Always great to get something off your chest!
