I gave my friend a bad haircut

[Wowzerzzz]

Hi everyone,

This is kind of a weird post for me, I usually don’t write about these small things. But tonight my friend/roommate begged me to cut her hair and I was reluctant but eventually gave in. I cut it too short (it’s not terrible, it’s cut straight, it’s not a pixie cut, it’s just shorter than what she said). She laughed it off but she said she wasn’t expecting that length. She said it will grow back and she said she ‘loves’ it and it makes her hair look thicker but I know she’s just trying to make me feel better. I just feel really bad and awkward about it and it’s honestly giving me anxiety. I hate I did this and I hate making her feel bad. This is a specific situation but if anyone has any words to calm me or make me see the bright side

You did your best and I’m sure she knows that. It’s a lot of pressure to cut hair for a friend or family member! If someone was reluctant about cutting my hair, I would believe them and go to a salon instead. It was her choice to have you cut it and she might actually love it like she told you. I can understand your anxiety because I have felt that way when doing favors for friends. Your heart was in the right place, you wanted her to be happy with it, and that’s what matters.

Thanks so much for saying that! Reading that is already calming me and helping me rest

She is right , it’s funny and do so so glad your friend sees the funny side . Laugh with her , even if she is just being nice . Apologise and laugh too and then maybe offer to shout her a h haircut at the hairdressers. But she did ask for it , do really NOT your fault at all . DO NOT stress, worse things can happen!! And it does grow back . It really isn’t the end if the world, if you have anxiety, not sure if you do , then it’s just your anxiety responding. And you said it’s not that bad , I had someone promise to put one blue streak in my hair , she was young and really wanted to do it , but ended up with totally blue hair , funniest thing was no one mentioned it at a family get together that night , do it must’ve been real bad lol lol lol 😂. Blue is definitely not something I would normally go for , sooooo funny!!!
