Been growing out my hair , decided it was time for a trim. I went on Friday to get my hair trimmed and left with my hair short and uneven:/ I came back later that evening to get it fixed and even with the help of two stylist, my hair had to get cut even shorter just to some what look normal. I come home to style my hair again, and its still uneven. Im currently going through postpartum and this definitely makes my experience even worse. I dont feel pretty anymore. My hair is ruined and so short. By far the worse experience.
