Getting a bad hair cut is one of the worst experience. You go inside to the hair dresser expecting them to do a better job than you, you see the hack away at your hair, the tension kills you as you see some sides uneven, maybe this style isn't working out for you but it's rude to say anything, maybe you should repeat what them to do with your hair. By the time you finish talking to yourself about what to do, it's all over. The hair cut is there, and whatever it may be, too short, very uneven, maybe it's just a bad hair style for your face shape, it's there. We've all been there. I know I've gone home and cried and sat in the bathtub hoping that washing my hair will make my hair style better somehow. Here are my methods of hiding it.

1. Ponytail - The most common method! Leave some hair to do the side so you don't pull all the hair back. Small ponytails are very cute and fashionable. Not only that, but pulling your hair back also helps your hair grow out faster. Before you know it, your hair is back to a reasonable length and can cut it in a better style.

2. Fluff the layers - Are the sides uneven? Is it noticeable to you? It may not be too noticeable to someone else. Something you could do is buy some hair wax and start with the top layers and and tease it out a bit with it. It's a quick fix and it's a fashionable look.

3. Curl your hair - Curls are very cute and very easy to do. If the hair is long enough, this is a very easy method. It's not just the hair rollers or the hot iron, there's another way to curl your hair too. All you'll need is a hair dryer and some hair gel. Go take a shower and towel dry your hair until it's halfway dry, but still damp. Brush your hair and put a small amount of hair gel in your hand. Spread it throughout both of your hands and start grabbing your hair from the bottom and pushing up towards your head. This will create some small damp curls.  Wash the hand you'll hold the hair dryer in, turn it on, and continue doing this while drying your hair. Braiding your hair while wet and drying it is also a very nice light crimped look. Simply braid your hair while wet and blow dry it, and take the braids out later. There are many tutorials for curling your hair without a hot iron if needed. (More examples)

4. Hair clips - Draw some attention to something else! There are some very cute hair clips out there you can get. This won't hide the hair style, but it may help for a while.

5. Recut it - Some hair styles can be fixed with this. Unless it's too short, go ahead and recut it. Often times hair stylists maybe layer it incorrectly or cut it unevenly. Cutting it may fix this. If it's too short, I wouldn't suggest cutting it even more.
