I miss my Curls and sides etc............ But I dont know maybe's It looks better in time but at least for now It sux.........
Hi Jort welcome to the board.
I guess you feel pretty bad about the trim, but to be honest it sounds like the barber did the usual thing:
THEY ALWAYS TRIM THE BACK N SIDES.
This isn't wrong, but its not always good, especially if you weren't expecting it. The good news is that in a months time, the hair at the back and sides will be starting to show again and in 3 months time you'll have back the same length you started with this morning, but best of all the top of your hair will be longer still, and if you really want long hair, then you really need your hair long on top more than anything else.
My advice to you: Unless you know exactly what you want done to your hair, and exactly how much you want cut, then you should not let anyone cut your hair because you will very rarely get what you want. Its like going into a foreign restaurant and letting the waiter choose what you eat. You don't know if you are going to like it until its served.
Keep Growing and be positive.
Sorted.
Best thing is to avoid barbers and stylists - very few of them if any pay any attention to what you want: they think it is for them to impose their ideas on your head.
