QuoteReplyTopic: To cut or not to cut.... Posted: January 26 2005 at 8:42am
yes good luck indeed, chopping off hair is always scary! i think you should stay away from the inverted bob, with your features the opposite would look better i think, a converse bob, if there is such a thing. and as others have said nothing too severe, definitly wispy layers if your hair has a natural wave.
i can't take it no more so i'm going on a shopping spree ....H.A.R.M.A.R superstar....

Good Luck! Change is good for everyone. I think you will look awesome. Also you might want to dye your hair too. If you want to make it a big change. Good luck
I guess the same is true here in a different way. If a lovely lady on the short hair board wants to try a short hairstyle, we don't need to discourage her.
Absolutely. She posted here and nowhere else. She's wanting advice on a/some shorter style...

It's nice that these two boards are respectful in that regard, nowadays.

Personally, I really like it in the third picture where you are with the midget =D Seriously, it looks great now, but if you want to try something shorter, I think you would look just as incredible with the cut that you posted of Mandy Moore. Be sure to share pics with us and let us know how things went :)

I agree with Brent. I think the extent of Bob's post which should be acceptable here would be " It can't hurt to make small changes first, possibly even streaking or coloring" and maybe also the "Make sure YOU really want it cut, Daniela" comment... but the rest is not appropriate on this board. Bob, please try harder to conform to the spirit of this board.
Daniela: Don't let Bob dissuade you from trying an attractive short hairstyle. You would look sensational in a short hairdo!
The purpose of this board, by the way, is to appreciate ladies in short hairstyles and to discuss short hairstyles, not to convince women from cutting their hair. We have the long hair board for those who are into long hair on women.

Make sure YOU really want it cut, Daniela. In my opinion, your hair looks outstanding. It can't hurt to make small changes first, possibly even streaking or coloring. I am very partial to long locks on most women, so my advice is served with a smattering of prejudice! (lol) Bob

That cut is very cute and choppy. I'm sure it will look good on you. But don't bring that pic (or at least only that pic) with you to the stylist. Since she's bending over, it's difficult to tell Mandy's hair length. The length you think it is and the length the stylist thinks it is may be two different lengths. You need proper communication. Find more pictures of Mandy (or any other cut) that you like and bring them.

Thanks so much everyone! I think I found what I want...still have some length and nice layers to break up the thickness. My Sister and I are going together sometime next week or so. :)
they are right. Only go for a pixie if that is what you absolutely want. IMO it couldn't be the regular pixie either as it wouldn't flatter your face that much.
If I understand you correctly, you're thinking about chinlength bob's and such. Just go stand before a mirror and tuck the long hair in a turtle neck sweater. Then you get a pretty good idea how it would look without having it cut. If my instincts are right, a one length bob wouldn't match. Adding layers may help to improve the look, but I'd advise a shorter style. Definetely with side partings and very light and soft bangs.
Let us know what you decide ... lots of fun with the new style!

Something with a little length could be pretty good for you, since then you could play up the curl with rollers or an iron, or press it straight, if you wanted. But definitely layers would be a good idea, to help avoid the giant, puffy, bell-shaped hair all the girls had when I was in junior high :-P . Bleh, dating myself there :-P .
I have had my hair about chin length, but it was pretty much a blunt cut not many layers at all, so it was somewhat like a lamp shade. I think if it is layered correctly that it will look good, but my hair can react weird sometimes....I guess I will go a little at a time. Thanks so much for your advise.
If your hair isn't curly, it's unlikely to puff up if it's short. Many younger women find a chin length blunt cut without layers to be a helmet head haircut, so it's not surprising you didn't like it.
Look at the shorter cuts Julia Stiles, Reese Witherspoon (from "Sweet Home Alabama"), Mandy Moore, Samaire Armstrong (Anna on "The OC"), Ashley Scott, and Ashley Judd have had. They may be what you're looking for.
Don't go pixie short unless you're certain that's what you want. As you say, you can always go shorter. A cut like that is only for women who know that's what they want.

Thanks for the advise, yeah I don't think I am ready for a pixie...maybe when I am older. I will probably just cut a little at a time until I reach my desired length.
and yes my friend is kneeling, he says I am a midget ha!
