I had a friend help cut my hair because its not easy to cut your hair short. She was going for a more pixie cut with my hair cut she made the layers very blunt and too short in some spots.
Never again will I get someone else to cut my hair.
Advice please.

Maybe you should grab a razor (hair cutting kind...not the one for your legs) or thinning shears. You'll end up making your ends more prone to split ends an breakage, but it will help soften the ends so they don't look so choppy. Or you could go to a salon?

Hope that helps!

You should get the hair nails and skin pills from GNC if you would like to grow out your hair agian. Or you could get biotin pills from any loco drug store. :)

I would go to a salon but I live kind of in the middle of no where so it's not an option.
But thank you! <3
I'm considering the razoring.

Razor it if you can't get to a salon that will soften the ends but be careful to just do the ends don't start too high up on your hair it will only make it worse its an ok cut it just meets to be less blunt ( then maybe try flicking it out slightly with some wax )

Is it bad that I kind of like the choppy look? It adds a rebel feel. Maybe a salon to clean up the worst parts but yeah not as horrible as I thought it would be.

Its just choppy. Not horrid. Get it cut into a a line bob. Keep the front long cut the back up some to rid those layers.

You just have to let it grow out abit.. it'll start to look more natural again =] for the time being just work it on to your style, it's not majorly bad so I reckon with abit of product n some straighteners it'll look good =]

I would suggest doing a proein treatment once a week and using coconut oil once a week overnight as well, it will help strengthen and bring life back to your hair & make it grow healthier (and you'll feel like it's faster because when the hair is growing and looking healthy the ends don't break off as much, causing you to see more growth&length) I've had bad haircuts, so I empathize with you :( You have a few options to just get it thinned at a salon, or cut into a different style- you could get it cut into a popular one side is longer/more full style to take away from the blunt pieces- (something like this might take the eye away from the things you don't like: http://slodive.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/kimberly-caldwell-hairrstyles/kimberley-uniform-hairstyle.jpg ) Your hairs not as long as hers, but it's an idea you could think about? As for next time, I would suggest that you don't let anyone cut your hair that hasn't had any training- going to school for it, I know it's a lot harder than it looks and without the right tools you can end up with really blunt choppy pieces, as well as even something as simple as the way she held your hair when she cut it matters to the finish! I really don't think it looks as bad as you think it does, and I've seen much much worse- so smile it's not the end of the world! :) I've had a color cut on my hair, &if you don't know what that is, I had foiled highlights done at a paul mitchel salon and my hair boiled under the heat& in the foil, and when she pulled the foils off my hair just broke off randomly at parts where it just had taken too much damage. It was a mess, and I felt so ugly, I'm still trying to get my hair back to normal so I get how you're feeling, but I just want you to know, it could be much worse :) Also I really wouldn't suggest doing the razor yourself, it can be damging if you don't do it right and it's very easy to take more hair off than you planned. What I can suggest though to thin out the bottom pieces is lightly damp your hair, comb it out straight down and take some hair sheers (sharper the better cut) and place the scissors straight up half an inch into your hair and lightly cut up into your hair this is a thining trick that you will have more control over and it's harder to cut more hair off. I will find you an example of what I mean if you don't understand what I'm trying to say... also the key to it is to go directly straight up and not at any angle- that will cut off length which we don't want to do!! :) This is excactly how it should look when you do it, and just go slow!! & if you don't feel comfortable, don't do it, go to a best cuts or a more affordable salon it's a very simple thing they can do for a reasonable price. :) good luck!!  http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FdbXLu3lZwE/TLaGjZwGwtI/AAAAAAAABUA/kiutxBFUtic/s1600/IMG_7151.JPG.
