A BAD HAIRCUT

New York City–based hairstylist Jeanie Syfu has fixed a lot of bad cuts. The main reason they’re bad? The lines aren’t properly blended. Here’s what you can do until it grows out.

1 Use some product. Run mousse or styling cream through your hair, then slick it down for a sleek look, Syfu says. 2 Break out the styling tools. If you’re dexterous enough with a curling iron or wand, a few well-placed waves around your face can soften rough edges.

3 Add accessories. Using a simple ponytail holder or headband can tame your hair and look chic at the same time. 4 See another stylist. Ask the person to cut your hair when it’s dry, since it will fall differently than when it’s wet. 5 invest in some stylish baseball caps. No better time to show some support for your favorite team.
