Despite taking care of our tresses as if they’re our babies, and being extremely careful, bad hair days are unavoidable. Bad haircuts, terrible colour jobs or just being stuck in a beauty rut, we’ve all been there—being super excited to get something new done with your hair, only to stare in the mirror at your worst nightmare. Fret not because we have these fabulous tips from our favourite stylists at Schwarzkopf Professional that will help you fix your hair mishaps.

Q Bad haircuts can be a nightmare. What can you do with a fringe that’s been cut way too short? 

A Nitin Manchanda: A fringe is the most important element of any hairstyle. It defines the face and instantly grabs attention. Hence, it can be a disaster if done incorrectly. Fortunately, products and tools are available that can rectify most mistakes. If the fringe has gone too short, you can either hide it by cutting a longer fringe on top of the short fringe, or use a styling product like Osis+ Session Flexible and Strong hairspray to style towards any one side and pin it up.

Another option is to get a false fringe; they’re easily available these days. You can fix one on top of the short fringe until you grow back your hair.

Q A-line bobs were quite the rage  but growing out the bob is the most awkward phase ever. Are there cuts to try in the interim that will not make the hair look limp?
