【一起闲话英语】糟糕的发型-Bad Hair Day

 Rese / Botswana 

speaker The worst haircut I ever had was when I cut my- completely bald actually, because my eyes started to pop out and my nose looked bigger. And especially because I had that haircut in winter, so it was really cold and my head was kind of freezing.

 

Antoinette / United States 

speaker Oh, yes, I've had many bad haircuts. I'm an African-American, and living outside of an African-American community and having to get a haircut can be a trying experience. I lived overseas in an Asian community and I had my haircut. The first time I had my haircut, I didn't cry, but the person cutting my hair cried, because she didn't understand how to cut my hair. The second time I had my haircut, I had dreadlocks and I really liked my dreadlocks. I don't know why I cut them, still can't figure that out to this day, but I cried at that time.

 

Katia / Mexico 

speaker I had a few couple of bad haircuts. Probably, the worst one was when I cut my hair really short, and I made curls¹ or had curls in my hair and it was short at the same time. I was not able to brush my hair for a few months after that haircut. Probably, that was my worst one.

 

Paul / England 

speaker The worst haircut I ever had was when I was preparing for a job interview and I asked the barber² for a smart business cut. He did give me a smart business cut; however, it seems that the barber may have learned³ his trade in the 1920s, and it was very severe, short back and sides. It was completely kind of out of sync with my age and the year at the time. So, this was my worst haircut.

 

Matt / United States 

speaker I think the worst haircut I ever had was when I was ten years old. I went to the barber on my own for the first time, and I came home, and my mom was telling me how horrible of a job they did and I needed to go back. I didn't think they did a bad job, but I guess they did, because that's what my mom said.

 

Lindsay / United States 

speaker The worst haircut I ever had was this taper⁴ when I was in elementary school, where it started at the top of my head and there were layers going all the way down, and the whole haircut was tapered⁵ towards my face, and each piece of hair was a different length. It was quite ugly.
