Hair Thursday will be postponed until next week, giving Whoorl ample time to mourn the loss of her dearly beloved subtle layers, resulting from an extremely rare miscommunication with her unbelievably awesome stylist. She requests time to become acquainted with her new Ann Wilson quasi-mullet hybrid.
Currently, Whoorl’s mental state is touch and go. She was last seen drinking many glasses of wine, repeatedly murmuring “Is this your doing, Ramón? Is it? I’m just trying to understand, are you my magic man?”
Whoorl’s front quarter sections of hair will be dearly missed. Respects may be paid throughout the day in her comments section.
Hey Nancy, is that my hair twin?
RIP subtle and texturized layers, we will greatly miss you
(Chin up, whoorlie! you are still looking hot and sassy to me! :))
You are so damn funny!!
And now I’m going to have that song in my head all day! For this I am GLAD you got a bad hair cut! :)
I kid. I would be nearly impossible to make you look anything other than gorgeous.
meant to say “IT would be nearly impossble…”
Now you’ve got me all flummoxed. Damn you Nancy Wilson.
whoorl- i don’t think it looks mulletish. and your hair grows like a weed. you won’t be sad for long. give it a week. :)))
Your expression there is priceless. Chin up!
Aww. You still look cute, though, and that’s impressive ;)
(fairly new lurker de-lurking. I love your hair Thursday’s.)
Your face here… trying so hard to be brave, yet unsure about internet reaction, but sort of wanting to cry…
Your hair looks okay. You are still gorgeous. Please send my condolences to your subtle layers….
Get some terrycloth headbands and call it retro-chic. You’re welcome!
Come on Whoorl! You are the hair goddess, you can make this work! Do your magic and come back to show us the results.
I’m with Janet–you’re still lookin’ hot and sassy! Subtle is overrated anyway. :)
ohmygosh, what happened!?
Ditto all other commenters, you still are gorgeous. And i’m sure you can find a solution to make this cut cute in your extensive bag o’ tricks.
Can I just say that I would sell my third child (notice, I did NOT say first born!) to have your “BAD” hair cut?!?! I got a BAD hair cut exactly ten months ago and it STILL doesn’t look as good as your picture!! I need some hair therapy!! When’s your first Hair Thursday opening?!?!
subtle and texturized layers, you were so good, so sweet, so full of vibrancy. you will be missed more than we can ever say. rest in peace.
Fortunately, you still look “fierce, fabulous, and flawless” and your “money maker (face)” makes up for any less-than-perfect hairdo – please tell me you’ve seen Christian on “Project Runway”.
oh I think you look beautiful! enjoy the wine but keep that chin up cuz you still rock it!
Ouch. I feel your pain, but know you have the confidence and style to carry it off till the hair grows a bit.
Delurking to say:
But… but, you’re so PRETTY.
Oh Whoorl, you can totally rock that style! Besides, as you’ve proven time and again, it’s impossible to make you look bad. As a stylist said to me once, “hair grows, change is good”.
Be brave.
Eh, it’s subtle. I mean, the too much bang part, that is. As everyone has said, your hair gross fast and it’s impossible for you to look bad. I am currently going through the same thing.
Grows fast, not gross…sorry about that. I needed an edit button.
Come on home girl (I said with a smile).
You lucked out. It could have been the 80′s AnnWilson. – Not as hot.
Oh come on, it’s not nearly as bad. You look great!
hmmm. what does this look like flat-ironed? ‘Cause I think I could dig it if you flat-ironed…like a piecey badass Joan Jett slightly shaggy kinda thing.
Also, it truly does look like a cut that will grow out beautifully, as long as you don’t let the bottom get too long.
Ummm you don’t happen to go to a J. Beverly Hills trained stylist do you? Because the same thing happened to me last week when my stylist came back from L.A. after a weekend of training. I said lets do something new……I got 70′s rocker. I have to admit after a week I’m kinda diggin’ it.
I’ll take Leah’s suggestion one step further and say, “Turban.” Pretend it’s the ’60s!
P.S. You win today’s award for best blog post headline.
Delurking because you look so sad! It looks like Mandy Moore’s cute shaggy cut a couple years ago. You totally rock it!
Funniest photo ever! I think Ann is hot she just needs to rock “the whoorl”.
Aaaw, i think you look kinda rocker chic! But i sympathize with the bad haircut since I’m still recovering from the one I received 2 weeks ago.
On the bright side, you still look like the love child of Mary Louise Parker and Kristen Davis. Quite a rare and lovely combination.
Okay, okay. I must admit, it’s not that bad. The cut itself is pretty fun- we’re in the process of going from blunt bangs back into sideswept ones. They are a little too short for the shape right now, and as always, my hair takes a couple days to SETTLE THE FUCK DOWN. Also, it looks fantastic straight, although HAHAAHAAAAA, like I’m ever going to take the time to blow it out. “Good hair requires effort” – what can I say? I’M A SCAM. I wash and go.
There, I said it. SCAM.
(Can I add a little TMI and say that I am currently experiencing one of the worst periods of my life? “Moody” is a gross understatement.)
((Also, am I the only one whose periods are like experiencing the wrath of God since birthing a child?))
I totally had that haircut and it wasn’t good. I HAD THAT EXACT HAIRCUT. And while it looks fine to those who don’t know you, I feel strongly that it works on a specific type of person ONLY. And that person isn’t you or me.
But to everyone else? It looks fabulous. And further, I love what it does to your waves. And and AND, dude, it will grow out so fast, you won’t even notice it. Like NEXT WEEK, fast.
That is the saddest look on your face ever!!!! I think that while your layers are growing out it’s going to look very cute. But, I totally get it. I have had bad hair cuts (resulting from miscommunication) as well as really horrible hair color. Honestly though your reference to Heart and Ann Wilson made me seriously laugh and it’s true….it could have been Ann Wilson in the 80′s. Barracuda and Magic Man (ever seen this featured in The Virgin Suicides?)….much much better than What About Love and These Dreams era
Same thing happened to me about a month ago. I had a picture and everything for my stylist, and my hair looks NOTHING like the picture. My hair is shorter and now I have a mushroom head. Ugh. Stupid haircuts!
Dearly beloved – We are gathered here today to mourn the loss of Whoorl’s subtle and texturized layers……just glue on some of Wito’s locks when he gets his snipped :o) You couldn’t look bad if you tried, Whoorl :o) Your hair looks awesome, and dare I say, Nancy Wilson is off at some re-hab crying tears of joy b/c you are her hair soul sister….
Can I say that you still look fabulous! I have had just one too many miscommunications that I am in search of a new stylist, if you know of any in my neck of the woods let me know :)
I predict everyone will be getting this cut now.
You know, it really flatters your face though. Can you actually GET a bad haircut? I don’t think it’s actually possible.
Bad communication with the one holding the scissors is never a good thing. My last haircut was by a woman who’s husband filed for a divorce the day before-which also happened to be her birthday. She started crying whilst snipping away at my locks and “shoulder length” quickly became “chin length” I didn’t have the heart to say “For the love of GOD, woman! Put the scissors DOWN!” It finally grew and is now exactly what I was looking for. (and I just got highlights the other day, pics on the blog!)
Whoorl, if anyone can pull off the mullet and still look hot, you can! It will also look great as it grows out. But I feel your pain. RIP pretty layers!
Yes this will be the new Rachel
Whoorl – you can’t look bad. Ever. You are rocking that cut.
oh, my dear, i feel your pain because i know that when your hair doesn’t feel exactly the way you want it to feel, things just aren’t right with the world.
but on the up side, it truly isn’t bad. i highly doubt that’s the ultimate best that cut can look, and in fact it seems like it really could be fun. give it two weeks, i say, and you’ll be happy perky hair-loving whoorlie.
p.s. sometimes the wine helps.
Even though you *don’t* look bad at all, I will totally pause for a moment of silence. And keep applying copious amounts of wine. Periods suck, I just completed a cycle that ran a hideous 36 days, which was just. plain. annoying.
i love the look on your face! and i think the hair looks fantastic! but you’re the hair expert so i am horrified with you.
Dude, Ann Wilson is hot. Even now that she is uber-chubby, she is still hot. Nothing wrong with bringing the “chick mullet” back. Don’t shit on her deal.
Oh, don’t look so sad, it doesn’t look bad! Isn’t the look coming back anyway? You’d look fab with whatever hair, but I suppose it’s tough when it wasn’t exactly what you were looking for.
Good thing about hair, at least it grows back.
PS: It was horrible after the first child, and even worse after the second. ugh. Finally back on birth control and the universe is once again re aligning….
PPS: I actually love the ponytail on Wito. I sent my youngest to school with a barrette once- when his hair started falling in his eyes. Everyone has horrified. I thought it was cute. Couldn’t bring myself to cut it, and when I finally did, I’ve hated every cut he’s had. I don’t know what to do with boy hair…
haircut is awesome, you are working it!
Yes, I hear you on the horrible period thing. They have a product in Germany called “dolomorin für frauen” and it beats anything in the US hands down. If you want me to send you some I sure will !!
i kinda agree with saj, it ain’t so bad, sorta rockin’ w/ ramon.
Like you could ever look bad…Two things in common for me and Whoorl – 1. I asked my stylist to make my shorter, less and less inverted bob “flippy” – thinking it would be easier to style and now it’s kinda just cut up at the bottom and i’m not rockin’ it as much as i’d like, in fact I want to just cut it blunt and have it be short (and did i happen to say I’m going on my first date tonight since my divorce???) and 2. bad period.
