Millie, what happened? How did they cut your hair? Don't leave us hanging.  :-)

FYI, several (!) years ago, my girlfriend was a model at a hair show.  They gave her an edgy (for the time) cut & boy she looked hot!  I have no doubt you will have a similar experience!  Nothing wrong with having a few butterflies.  It will just make the experience even more fun & memorable!

Thanks makeitshort. I will definitely let you know what happens - I am waiting for the date to be confirmed at the moment. And it's ok, hopefully it will be good scary! Not the sort of scary that would stop me doing it, just the sort of scary that gives you a few butterflies. I am looking forward to it. Not least because my hair is driving me crazy at the moment; I have no idea how people actually manage to grow out short hair, it is awful!

Millie, I don't think you have to worry about it looking good.  You have posted quite a few pics of yourself & you look good no matter what your hair length is.  So don't worry.  Have fun & please keep us in the loop!  I know we will all be really interested to hear about & see what happens!

No, I haven't done it before. I don't know yet whether they will be doing colour or not. It should be good fun, there will be a make up artist too, and hopefully I will get some good pictures from it. It's going to be very, very short, so it might be a little scary, but hopefully it will look good!

Millie:  That's exciting!  Have you ever done that before?  Will the color be changed, too?

Thanks everyone. Slight change of plans - I am now going to be a hair model, probably the week after next, so the job of choosing a style is no longer up to me! I'll let you know what happens.

You are so fortunate that your hair looks great both super short and long.
If you go short, I like the short pixie with a bit longer bang in the front -- similar to what Alex posted. 
What sort of bobs are you thinking about?  Have you thought about a stacked bob?  Maybe something in the middle of being short and long?  Of course, you would need to let your hair grow a bit more.

I'm not as keen on that - I don't like it really long at the front like that, the other one was more connected or something? My hair wouldn't be long enough for it anyway. The back of the one that Banana and Alex posted, is it graduated as it goes up or is it all the same length to that bone? Any other suggestions? Do you all prefer pixie cuts with longer fringes to ones that are short all over?

The picture Alex04 posted... HOLY CRAP!!! That would suit you PERFECTLY, please consider that, especially the buzzed nape part!!! Long hair is blah, especially since you know the short looks so good on ya!
Long with BLUNT bangs or ALL cut to lip length, I cant decide my favorite!

I would say the other side is just all very short like you had it in your picture

I actually really liked my hair short - a couple of years ago I would never have dreamed of going that short but when I first went to my regular stylist after the first short cut (someone else did the long to short cut, then I found my current stylist) she asked if I would ever go really short because she thought it would suit me, and I guess that kind of gave me the confidence, and I really liked it. I do like that cut the picture is of. I wish there was a picture from the front too so I could see what the other side is like.

Still open to other suggestions!

I think that you are very lucky that all the cuts really suit you from long to short. However after seeing your side profile:



I do think that this will look amazing on you:



Go girl!

I like the last one quite a bit, except maybe taper the nape shorter and slightly longer side bangs, more like the picture I posted. How did you feel about it that short?

That is quite cute actually. It isn't really that short - the front is quite long, it is just the back that is really short, but I quite like that. When my hair was shorter my hairdresser used to cut the back with clippers over comb, and then did the hairline with the clippers to get rid of the dodgy back.
 
Here are a couple more pictures because I realised I didn't post any side views.
 
This one was one of the medium length pixie cuts, and I guess is a similar idea to that picture you just linked too, except mine wasn't as short at the back and had a shorter fringe.
 
 
And then this was the short pixie from the side, but I haven't got any product on it and I have terrible dark rings under my eyes!
 
 
Looking at that picture I can really see how much it has grown - it feels like it isn't growing very fast, but when I look at that picture I can see how massively different it was!

Haven't quite got the whole posting pictures in the thread thing down yet, but hopefully you can copy paste that and see it?

This one is really short but I've really liked it since I saw it in a previous thread and think it would be worth a try if you like it as well
