Everyone knows the struggle.

You anxiously plea,"Just a trim." Sitting in THE chair, you pray that your hairdresser has the same definition of "a trim" as you do.

Maybe you are extremely specific, "just one inch off, please," but will they really listen?

As large chunks of your hair litter the floor, you're plagued with these 5 thoughts:

1. "At least the next time I step on the scale, I will weigh less. She'since she's cutting off pounds of my hair."

A little dramatic, sure. But your hair can feel so much lighter after a big haircut that you can't help but wonder.

2. "You could collect all my hair off the floor and make it into a wig, and I only asked for an inch off."

Maybe the large pile of hair on the floor is just deceiving??

3. "How can I ever trust anyone again?"

Letting someone take scissors to your hair is a pretty big deal. Sure, it will grow back, but not for a while. When you ask for something very specific and your hairdresser betrays you, how can you ever trust again?

4. "If only I were famous, than at least all the extra hair I didn't want cut off could be sold on ebay."

It wouldn't be weird to casually collect some into a bag before leaving, would it?

5. Prepping yourself to give the best fake "oh wow, looks great!" when the hairdresser is done cutting it.

"OMG wow, I wasn't expecting a bob; but it looks great, you are a genius!"

Next time you get a bad haircut, remember that you are not alone. It will eventually grow back. In the meantime....stay strong.
