How to Fix Hair Disasters

A stylish new hairdo can do wonders for one's self-esteem. Conversely, a poorly shorn or
styled head can make even confident, self-assured people feel sheepish. While it might
take Sigmund Freud to explain the reasons for this, these remedies may restore your
lovely locks--and perhaps your self-esteem.

Bad haircut

Instructions

• STEP 1: Do not attempt to fix it yourself.
• STEP 2: Return to the salon or barbershop and demand a new haircut by a
different stylist or barber free of charge.
• STEP 3: Or go to a reputable salon, explain your dilemma and request a remedial
haircut.
• STEP 4: Or consider using a wig, hair extensions or hair additions while you wait
for the haircut to grow out.

Bad hair day

Instructions

• STEP 1: Wet down hair with warm water, add styling mousse or gel, then restyle.
• STEP 2: If restyling is not an option, cover hair with a hat or scarf.
• STEP 3: Opt for the slicked-back look if a hat or scarf is unsuitable. Wet hair,
add gel or mousse, pull hair into a ponytail. Allow to air-dry.

Bad dye job

Instructions

• STEP 1: If hair is undercolored because you panicked and rinsed too early,
reapply dye and leave on for time required minus time you already had it on.
• STEP 2: If you chose the wrong color or overcolored your hair, consider using a
color-removal product, available at salons and beauty supply stores.
• STEP 3: Understand that hair-coloring professionals recommend visiting a
reputable salon that specializes in hair coloring to correct bad dye jobs.
