5 ways to cope with growing out a bad haircut
ICYMI, Eugenie Bouchard made waves yesterday after posting a photo to Instagram of her freshly quasi-buzzed ‘do. Even though reactions seemed to be pretty polarized, the half-shaved style is nothing new—everyone from Rihanna to Scarlett Johannson has experimented with some form of the look.
Of course actually submitting to the permanency of a razor shows way more commitment than simply getting crafty with bobby pins, which is why if you’ve ever actually considered taking the plunge with this look, you’ve probably had some misgivings. Sure, freshly shorn you’ll look like Alice Dellal, but what about that awkward in-between phase? A grown out crew cut is not the equivalent of a past-its-prime bob—you’re running the risk of developing some serious nineties mushroom head (and not in the cute Leonardo Di Caprio way). Not to mention it’ll only be on one side of your face. Yikes.
So what’s a girl with a penchant for walking on the wild side (but, like, with a safety harness) to do? Thankfully, there are a few tips and tricks you can implement to minimize the pain of the growing out stage. Click through the gallery below for some inspo from the riot girls who have been there, done that.
