Our hairstyles are part of our identity. It’s one of the things people would compliment us about. According to Willow Ridge Recovery psychotherapist Aubrey Hunt, it also demonstrates our desire to be seen in a particular way.
“A haircut that does not feel quite right or not like the person may cause a disconnect between the interior feeling and exterior look, which can subtly decrease the person's overall self-image,” she told Bored Panda.
If our hair holds that much significance in terms of our self-perception and how we think toher people see us, a bad haircut must have significant negative effects. According to Hunt, embarrassment and self-consciousness may affect a person's behavior in social and professional settings.

The stigma of a bad hairdo can so cut deep that it may even affect a person’s morale in a profound way. According to Hunt, the repercussions are more severe than you may think.
“One might suspect that people's judgments about them are based on this temporary mistake, which can result in lowering self-esteem and even making the person retreat from social gatherings,” she explained.

One silver lining of a bad haircut is that it will eventually grow back. However, you will need to deal with how it makes you feel while you wait. According to Hunt, that alone can cause a significant disruption in our self-concept.
“The discomfort between the temporary loss of control and the public visibility of hair is one of the reasons why a bad haircut can feel such a big deal, even though it is a temporary situation,” she said.
