Answer:

Dear Gertrude,

I know your pain on a personal level. I lived through the 70's and I had a few really bad haircuts myself. I'm sorry you don't feel confident in your new haircut. Hair grows back and before you know it, you'll need another haircut. When it does, you'll be able to tell the hairdresser to not give you a fuck-ass-bob.

I would tell you to look at yourself in the mirror, straighten your back and be proud of how you look. After all, you can make a potato bag look good with enough confidence, it's all about how you pull it off. Yet, I fear that any advice pertaining to accepting and loving yourself is going to fall on deaf ears. There truly are haircuts which are unflattering on us and when we get a haircut like that it may seem like the world is ending.

In the meantime, while your hair is growing back, why not try to tie a shawl around your head? A turban? Or maybe even a hat! I don't see enough people wearing hats these days which is a shame. Hats and headdresses can add so much to an outfit, making it dramatic and elegant!

Or why not try a different hairstyle, add some texture to your hair, slick it back and tease up some volume at the top - a sort of pompadour if you will. The possibilities are endless when it comes to your hair. If all else fails, buy a wig and wear that until your hair grows back to a desired length!

Warm regards,

Sylvia.
