No More Bad Haircuts

Common Haircut Mistakes

It's too short, too choppy, too off balance, all too wrong, and you're too unhappy for words. It's a style emergency, a shock to our beauty sensibilities. It's a bad haircut. All you want, besides to turn back the clock, is better hair -- fast!

Most bad haircuts are the result of styles cut in disproportion to the shape of the head and contrary to hair texture. Here, the most common mishaps I see:

• Pineapple -- The top is cut too short in relation to the rest of the hair.
• Mop Top -- The top layers are left too long.
• Hockey Player -- The hair in the back is too long for the sides.
• Shred Head -- Hair is unevenly layered.
• Mamie Eisenhower -- Bangs are cut too short.
• Symmetrically Challenged -- One side is longer than the other.
