short hairstyle help!

not true
cut it to the level hair at your ear
all around then have the girl taper the back
a tapered bob
very cute

I am a "big girl" and I often feel that if my hair is short and flat that I look like a pin head. If you can puff up the top and back just a bit that helps a lot.

Yes just go for what you like, I've had different lengths and all worked. I'm a larger sized person, I think its more in your confidence how you carry off the style and you features.

Ricci is right. Size does not preclude a short haircut. My wife is a good example. While she is heavier than she ought to be, she has great, thick, straight blond hair. Since we've been married, she has tended to favor medium to long hair. However, for the last four years, she has been wearing it in a angled bob. She started out with it approximately chin lenght, with only a slight angle. However, over time, she went shorter and shorter. The shortest was last summer when the sides just barely coverd the tops of her ears. Then she let it grow over the winter. Right now, just the bottom tips of her ears show, however, the back is very short - stacked just above the nape. The entire nape is clippered very close. The front reaches to the corners of her mouth. It looks great as it is. However, it looked at least as good when the sides were shorter.

She has also talked about trying a different, shorter style this summer. If she gets serious about it, we will probably resort to computer imaging like Ricci suggested. That's what we did before her current style.

Good luck.
