Is that what you use? I've been using a #2 - have even done a #1 before :eek:

I use a #3 on the top and a #1 on the sides - I usually only shave my head when I'm training for something. I get hot pretty easily.
 
Well lesson one is dont ever cut your own hair.

As for fixing it your young and it will grow out. Go to a hair place pay 20 bucks and have some one cut your hair and fix you mistake.

As for advoiding school for 2 weeks. That a REAL mature thing to do. It grow will grow out and it will all disapear in the wash. Is it going to look bad pretty much no matter what yeah it is. You can only do damage control now. I would say go pay some one 20 bucks to cut all your hair to match you mistake and then i a few weeks it will all grow out and look just fine.

Heck my hair is cut pretty short and it looks fine. Yeah I get cut a little on teh short side when I get my hair cut so in a a little less than a week it the lenth I like and doesnt have that just hair cut look. Heck you might really like how you look with shorter hair.

I did. The person cutting my hair cut it a lot shorter than I wanted it. Week later it looked a lot better and I like the lenth of it then. Now when I get my hair cut i go short (not as short as time but still short). It takes about 3-4 days after I get it cut to get how I like it. I cut my hair with the lengh I like it in mind mix with the fact that it takes a few days to get ride of the fresh hair cut look.
 
Dude, go see a stylist. They can color your hair and cut it to take advantage of what's left.

Time to bring in a professional.
 
Ok, here's advice from a girl who's cut her brother's and guy friends' hair for years:

Put the shortest (or second shortest) plastic attachment on and shave the whole head that way. Or do the shortest in the back and on the sides, and the second shortest on top if you like.

It won't look completely shaven with the plastic attachment on, and 2 weeks from now it will be long enough to look cool. You might even tell people you changed your hairstyle specifically for the fashion show! Short hair is cool on guys these days, anyway. And even if your pals wear it much longer, they'll think you are one step ahead fashion-wise and admire you for it. Just wear your new style with courage, and it'll be grown out in a few weeks, anyway.
Have fun with your new style!
 
Josh,

I know exactly how you feel. When I was in high school I would typically have very long hair. I only get my hair cut four or five times a year, but every time I do I have them cut it extremely short. It takes about three months to grow back to a medium-long length, and five months to get "long". Every time I got a cut I felt bald.

The solution is really to have a positive attitude about the situation. Get a short cut, and act as though you meant to have short hair. Act as though it's a new look you're trying out. People will admire you for it. You may hate the look, but if you ACT confident you will be admired.
 
Whoops !

certainly not a big deal. just make it all the same length.

i used to cut my hair myself all the time. its not hard to do, but then agian i was just using clippers and two guards.

if you don't want it even it all out, go see a stylist and see what they can do with it.

hair grows back. even shaving it won't stop that. :rolleyes:
 
Don't Cry

Go for a ground zero

I use a blade on my head every second day and cannot remember what it's like to have a 'coiffure' But then I do have a van Dyke beard to compensate.
 
:( That's my worst fear when I go to someone new for my hair...I just recently changed salons and it turned out okay, but...yeah. Eeesh. :( I hope you can maybe find a new interim look out of it that makes you happy, while your hair grows back? But I can imagine how much it stinks.... :(
 
Vote for Pedro!!!!!! haha


seriously though if your crying over this and planning on skipping 2 weeks of school I'd suggest you use that time to get some mental help for yourself.

It's just hair, it grows back, it's not like you lost an arm in a subway bombing, get over yourself.
 
Y'know, I used to hate internet advertising, but I'm really starting to appreciate its attempts to be relevent these days. I love all the anti-baldness and scalp-regrowth ads on this thread :p Does that make me a bad person? :eek:

I had all sorts of different hair in high school, and nobody except the real *******s ever gave me any crap over it. Everything from natural gorgeous flowing locks of curls half-way down my back to short rockstar-blue spikes.

If anyone will say anything mean to you, it's the same people who would go out of their way to be mean regardless of what sort of hair you have. If you're so concerned about morons like that, maybe it's time to switch to another school or get the school administration off their asses. Maybe you could even make fun of them right back...sometimes you've gotta stand up for yourself.

Amen. If a bad haircut makes you cry you have some issues. Sorry, it's just hair, you'll probably lose it anyway.

How else would it grow back?

If I were you, I would put a #3 guard on the clippers, do your whole head the same length, and then get it trimmed when it grows out.

And yes, pictures.

My head is a #3 now. The 'patch' is where the clippers were used accidentally, with NO guard.

So shaving it in a #3 will do nothing. :(

Thing is, my hair normally grows from a 4 to a 6 in about a fortnight. So I should be ok. Aslong as its all one length, and at least a 2 - I can survive!

I think in 2 weeks, I will be fine. Just some hope guys, please.. :)
