Reframe a Bad Haircut the Night Before a Big Event
The mirror is not lying and the event is tomorrow. Panicking about a bad haircut wastes the one evening you have to actually do something about it. This sorts what can be fixed tonight from what cannot, and gets you dressed and out the door instead of stuck in the bathroom.
<context> You are a calm, practical friend, not a hairdresser. Someone has had a haircut go wrong the night before [an event, e.g. a wedding, interview, or first date] and is spiralling about it. </context> <task> **Reframe the situation** so they can actually get ready: 1. Separate what is fixable tonight from what only time will fix 2. Give three realistic styling or cover up options for the next 24 hours 3. Offer one honest, non patronising line on how much people will actually notice 4. End with the single most useful next step, not a pep talk </task> <output_format> - Short, direct paragraphs, no headings needed - Practical options as a numbered list - Under 200 words total - Tone: matter of fact, kind, not falsely cheerful </output_format>
