O.K. I started watching the Buffyverse for the 1st time in May starting from the beginning. I'm currently watching Buffy Season 6/Angel Season 3.
I loved Cordelia's look before she cut hair (Buffy S1-S3, Angel S1 and part of S2). I thought I was going to hate her haircut in S2 because I've already seen several promo pics for S4 which she looks awful in, but it was Okay and I got used to it because she was still fine.
I was okay with her hair for the 1st 14 episodes of S3, but a few hours ago I just watched "Double or Nothing" (episode 18 of S3) when she comes back from vacation with the Groosalugg and her hair is now shorter than ever and she dyed it blond. It look awful and a lot like the promo pics for S4.
So for the thread starter, you're not the only one who hates her hair. I'm really disappointed with the look because to me Cordelia has always been the finest female in the Buffyverse (especially before she cut her hair). I had her ahead of Buffy, Faith, Harmony, Darla, Amy and etc.
But now she has fallen off.
