Step 1
Accept your hair as it is. Although there are ways to help your hair look better, you must first accept your hair and remember it's only a bad hair cut. It happens to a lot of people and most people will understand. In fact, most people will not think it is nearly as bad as you do; it may be more a change in hair style you are reacting to than a poor haircut.
-
Step 2
Have a sense of humor until your bad hair cut has grown out. Being able to laugh at the situation will make you feel better and your strength and ability to deal with the situation can impress those around you.
-
Step 3
Cover up your hair. For males this is as easy as wearing a hat, which will be acceptable with most styles of dress and in most situations. Women not only have the option of hats, but also scarves and wigs.
-
Step 4
Try a new look for awhile. There will be some situations where wearing a hat is not appropriate. Fix your hair by doing something different with it such as curling it or combing it a different way. It might not be the look you prefer, but it might be better than letting the haircut's flaws show.

Step 5
Find comfort in the stories of others. Talk about your bad haircut experience with others and you'll find many people have similar stories of haircuts they could not fix. The Haircutting Stories website has many true stories of bad haircut experiences.
