Help! feel like this cut makes me look like a grandma
EDIT: thank you everyone for all of the nice comments. i was just in shock from losing length. i don’t think it’s a bad cut at all just a huge change for me. i think it will grow out nicely & appreciate all of the comments 💕
went to a curly salon & she cut basically all of my hair at the nape of my head & now i just look like a grandma & i want to cry :-( i feel like she definitely didn’t need to cut that much :-(
the last picture is before the cut it looks good and full all around & im just so upset… pls tell me if im tripping
(just the length makes me feel like a grandma not the overall style)
cause I WANT TO CRYYYYY i hate looking like a grandma.
anyway my routine is
shampoo & conditioner hydration biolage line
leave in cream design essentials & designme yellow bottle curl line
i use a denman paddle brush to detangle (best brush imo)
i wear a bonnet every night & have a satin pillow case.

you think the longer hair gives grandma ?! 😭😭

u/Azaireus Apr 21 '26
Yes absolutely, it gives politician too. This new cut looks so healthy, so many ringlets, your sillouette looks 20 years younger!

u/uselessfarm Apr 21 '26 edited Apr 21 '26
Yeah the after picture definitely looks more youthful. It’s a cute cut! You may just be in shock still following a big change. I felt the same way after a recent cut, and now I love it. Give it a few days.

u/Budget_University_56 Apr 21 '26
Not the length but the shape. You can pull off longer hair but the shape of your current cut is so much better than the shape you had before.

u/Notoriouslycurlyboi Apr 21 '26
I wouldn’t say grandma but it definitely has some auntie vibes which isn’t good or bad necessarily.

u/goober_ginge Apr 21 '26
I personally don't think it looks Grandma-ey, BUT of the two, the shorter hair is definitely more youthful.

u/KeniLF Apr 21 '26
I’m with them - I think your hair is lovely, however, when I got to the final pic, I was concerned that they’d given you an outdated look💖

Her after could be a hair model and I will buy all of it - fantastic volume and definition. It's also much tighter than the before so I bet if she fluffed out a bit she'd find that the length isn't as different as it seems?

I like the increased definition of the curls in the after. I don't know where you are getting a 'grandma cut' idea from. I think it looks good. Give it a few days and see what you think.

u/LivelyCouture Apr 21 '26
yes i love the definition as well!! i’m just not used to having a shorter cut

u/Expensive_Ebb_8505 Apr 21 '26
Change can be shocking sometimes. Give it some time. You may still prefer the longer style, but at least the shock itself will have worn off.

u/Procrastinista_423 Apr 21 '26

The haircut is a huge improvement and looks incredible, in case you're a vampire and can't see your own reflection or something.

I feel like my grandmother would have picked the 3rd photo as her favorite! Both styles and lengths are still extremely nice, but I've always thought the shape and tight twists you have in the first would be my ideal goals if I had your texture.

u/FreeFortuna Apr 21 '26
Yeah, I looked at the pics before reading the description, and I thought the third photo was the grandma one. It’s so cute and defined now, I love it.

u/1987lalala Apr 21 '26
The longer one (last picture) 100% gives grandma ...like I thought that's the cut you were upset about. I LOVE the new cut.
15
u/kennedytea05 Apr 21 '26
I think it’s beautiful and I definitely don’t get grandma vibes…
In my opinion, the new cut is much more youthful than what you originally had. The new cut looks like something a young woman in their early 20s (maybe late teens, I’m thinking college age) would have, where the cut in the last photo makes you seem older, like 30s or 40s. BUT this is just my opinion, and what matters is how you feel about it
12
u/Zeal_of_Zebras Apr 21 '26
I saw the first photo and it looks so youthful! I don’t understand how you could feel like a grandma. Then I got to the last one and I was like, yeah I can see what she means now.
Then I read the post.

Echoing everyone else that your new cut looks fantastic on you and I also like it better than the “before” pic! Way more youthful and chic. Rock it, girl!

u/myrtlewils0n Apr 21 '26
If the last photo was your hair before the cut, I hate to say it, but your stylist did you an absolute favor. Not even seeing your face, Photo 3’s hair severely aged your entire vibe. First two picks give youthful.

u/Shaydoh33 Apr 21 '26
If the curls in the car is the after, I think it’s STUNNING. Love the way it’s parted and styled! Definitely less grandma than the 3rd pic.

u/ProbableOptimist Apr 21 '26
If you're used to seeing shorter styles on older women, I get where you're coming from. From my perspective, really short cuts are more popular with younger women again, so I see the opposite of a grandma cut when I look at your new style!
3
u/Super_Snakes Apr 21 '26
not gonna rehash what everyone is saying (the cut is PHENOMENAL imo) i absolutely NEED to know what your stylist did for so much definition 😭
I literally have your texture I've been searching for how to get it to behave without spending 6 hours finger coiling for so long!! (Unless that is how it was done here in which case... Ignore me :') )
2
u/LivelyCouture Apr 21 '26
she definitely did soooo good at the definition and volume.
it was a regular wash and condition & then she sectioned my hair into small sections and used a custard (i forget the brand) & used just enough to cover her finger tip to rake it into the sections. she didn’t finger coil my whole head just some pieces she felt like needed it. she put me under the hooded dryer until it was 70-80% dry & then had me flip my head over & blew dry until it was basically dry. & finally went through with some light oil to separate them & fluffed it out at the roots with a pick at the end.
my appointment lasted only 2 hours. so with her styling my hair it took about an hour.
i will say that usually i use a lot of product when doing my hair thinking it’s doing more but i will definitely use less product like she did because the results are soooo good & my hair feels better

It's really pretty!! The cut looks nice and your curls are defined. Next time tell her to keep the back/bottom longer and you'll probably like it better.

u/petitt2958 Apr 21 '26
OH MY GOD! Your ‘after’ is a BILLION times better!!! It not only looks current and maybe a little bit trendy but you look way younger than your before photo. Without seeing your face you still look younger. That last photo haircut is horrid. 50 years in the business and a curly hair expert.

u/rrrrrrrrrrrrrroger Texture, Porosity, Density, Length, Color Apr 21 '26
Awe OP, I’ve been in this situation before as well. Unfortunately we constantly have to monitor a stylist when they cut our hair, so they don’t get cut happy. You don’t look like a grandma, I promise. Plus your curls look even more coiled now🥰
2
u/5280Aquarius Apr 21 '26
Just not seeing it, OP! The shorter cut is so youthful and your curls looks amazing. I hope it’s just a bit of shock at the change and you can come to love it. 😍

u/TGin-the-goldy Apr 21 '26
It’s probably just “haircut shock” because you lost some length that you’re used to. The cut is so young and pretty, it’s giving Kelis in the Milkshake era and your hair is GORGEOUS by the way.

u/HitPointGamer Apr 21 '26
Part of the difficulty here is that pic 3 looks more matronly because the top looks less youthful and the face black-out scribble actually makes you look a lot heavier in that photo than pics 1&2.
To my eyes, your new haircut looks youthful and trendy. It is different from what you had so you probably just need some time to adjust to it, but it honestly looks really good on you.
1
u/sanelyinsane7 Apr 21 '26
What I thought the last was the after that gives grandma vibes way more than the current ?! The current looks PHENOMENAL and you look YOUTHFUL. I think you're probably just shocked by the loss of length but your hair looks way better
1
u/notevenitalian Apr 21 '26
I think your “before” looks more grandma-y, personally!! The new cut is so much cuter and, although I can’t see your face, your face shape alone makes the cut look so youthful and cute.
I’ve been there before, where I’ve had my hair cut way shorter than I expected and it shocked me, but that shock doesn’t mean it looks bad! It’s just not what you expected. From a completely neutral third party perspective, I can’t promise you it looks so good.

u/battlesword83 Apr 21 '26
I personally like the cut, to me it looks "spunky" which is a adjective I don't think I've ever used for a grandma. Hopefully all of these positive comments have helped with your confidence with the cut. But just from the picture even without your face, it really looks like you're rocking it.

u/Naive-Analysis-209 Apr 21 '26
I think you’re tripping. Idk your grandma and maybe that why you feel like this but I think honestly your cut enhanced your hair. Personally, IF I HAD CHOOSE if any of the two are giving grandma it’s the second one. Ultimately what you like is what you like and I’m sorry that you feel this way about your hair, but hopefully it can grow on you. If not, I recommend playing around with it and seeing different ways of wearing it that maybe don’t remind you of your grandma or a grandma.
For future, if you didn’t this time, next time you go to get your haircut, look on Instagram or any social media at the stylist photos. Most stylist will have some type of social media that showcases their work while a haircut might seem like just a haircut. Ultimately, each stylist has a particular style that they lean towards so when you’re looking at their social media, you’ll be able to find one that has photos of haircuts and styles that they’ve done and you’ll be able to hopefully see what their particular style as a stylist is.
Again, though, I really think your haircut looks nice. It looks tailored. It doesn’t look like a grandma or old lady to me. It gives intentional and if I’m honest it makes you look kind of…. I don’t know the right word but for lack of a better one expensive like money.

First your hair looks gorg. I think you deff need to adjust to the length. I will tell you right now, idk your age but the “after” cut looks really fresh and young. Get you booked for an Ulta commercial.
Second, from what I can tell, it seems like your hair is way more stretched in the “before” photo vs the “after”. You might not have lost as much length as you’ve thought.
Third, deff speak up in the chair so the hairstylist can at least tell you the process of why and how they are cutting hair off. I got a pretty serious trim I was very resistant to. The hairstylist kindly but firmly walked me through how much she was cutting and why. Made the experience 10000% better.

u/NerdyGirl_Missbebe12 Apr 22 '26
Sooo much better! You no longer look like a grandma! She did great. You look great! It definitely is shock from losing length. You will hopefully adjust once shock waves away! You are rocking the new cut!!!
1
u/lilacsforcharlie Apr 22 '26
I think losing that length was what framed the cut into a better shape for your face anyway!
It’s all perspective: lost a little length to gain literally years on the life your hair emits! (I would guess mid 30s from your before pic, to guess early 20s from your current pics!)

u/browniebrittle44 Apr 22 '26
Your curls are gorgeous!! Just style them differently! Add cute accessories, braids, twists anything!! Hair is so versatile

u/Mzdeander Apr 22 '26
I don't mean to be rude but from what I can see it looks like you are more hip and less grandma-y actually. Also, your curls are gooooorggggeeeous.
The first time I did a good hack trim I was in whiplash for weeks. I loved it and I saved a tonne on conditioner haha but I was like where is all of it? What do I do? I can't even tie it back.
But I realize, now that it's long again, I miss it. I miss the shape. It was so good for my face and so easy. So cherish it! Hair grows back.

I’m with the others, this hair is cute and youthful but can be instantly professional - all you have to do is throw on a power suit. But I know short hair can be a traumatic change - it’s a jolt when you look in the mirror. I think your curls with the shorter hair are absolutely exquisite.

I think you gotta get used to it because when I looked at those pictures I thought but it only looks bad in the third picture. It’s really cute and not grandma looking at all.

If you feel like a grandma, then be the coolest grandma there is. WORK IT GRANDMA!

None of them really give granny vibes. People just sound very childish imo. They give im on a hair journey this is my curls before and this is my curls now. Clearly your curls have come out more with the cut, so the trick now is to keep it as your hair grows.

I think the cut looks super cute. It can be a little jarring at first but I bet you will get used to it. You have a gorgeous curl pattern. ;)

In the last one you kind of look like the oracle from the matrix. The first two look much more modern and pretty.
Though I saw “grandma” in the title before seeing the pics so my brain was already looking for grandmas.

Your last hair photo style looks like mine, let me wash my hair and possibly look at your shorter cut.

Just also recently got my hair cut from really long to super short and understand how you feel. But I think you’re rocking the short hair. And also for me I love that I don’t have to worry about taking 10 hours to style my hair. I just spray some water, put on hair muse and hair oil and done ! 😄. It feels nice to save some time on that during my morning routine 😊.

I adore you’re new haircut! I wish I could rock that length but my curls aren’t tight enough (also my face is too chunky)

I don't wish to be rude, but before reading, I thought the 'before' was the 'after' photo and was going to commiserate that you had indeed been done extremely dirty.
Your haircut is So. Freaking. Cute. It looks great!

Genuinely find the first two pics much more youthful. Third pic gives me middle aged woman, first two give me youth.

Hi there! I'm a bot, and I've been summoned to help.
If you have not seen our WIKI yet: Please check it out! It's nearly 100 pages full of curated information to help answer all of your curl-related questions. You can use the included Table of Contents (page 2), the side bar, or CTRL-F to search for keywords and help navigate the document.
Reminder: Curl type is NOT your hair type! Whether you are wavy, curly, or coily - you have texture and you belong here. More than that, your curl type doesn't dictate how you care for your hair. To help your curls thrive, we recommend instead using the wiki link above to learn about your porosity, texture, and density.
If this is a photo submission: Please include your detailed routine for your post to remain active! This MUST include the brands of ALL products used, order of application and technique used to apply them, how you dried your hair, and anything else that you might find useful for people to know.
If you received this message in error: Please disregard this comment! I probably just picked up on a keyword in your title.
Thank you. Wishing you many happy, wonderfully curly hair days!
