I got my worst haircut when I was 5. I had long, silky hair (first pic). My dad took me in for a haircut, and I came back...a boy! (Second pic--me on the left, with my bro.) My mom and grandma were furious--I think my mom may have even cried.
I didn't mind the ultrashort hair cut until I started ballet lessons shortly after, and a girl in the class told me to go stand with the boys, because I looked like a boy. Bitch.
