I got a haircut today...and I did pluck my eyebrows back a little this morning after someone else mentioned it to me via PM. They look a little better now. I did go in and get my hair cut...sorry color is off...I had to lighten them so that the hair is more visible. I did a bob pretty much with some side swept bangs. It looks a little flat in the pics for some reason...but it doesn't look so flat in real life...hmmmm...??? Okay here they are.
My opinion? Go with this. It flatter your face shape, will work with your hair straight or wavy/curly, and won't have an awkward growing out stage like an angled bob would. I really think this is your best option and would have simulated what it looked like on you if my paint program hadn't crashed on me. This is a longer version of the layered/banged bob you said you liked and I think it will work better.
Second possibility would be this from one of your other posts:
And at this point, stop trying to please your mom. Obviously anything shorter than what it is currently is going to be outside of her comfort zone. I think once you get something like this done, however, she'll see how flattering it is and how happy you are with it and come around a bit.
Oh, and for what it's worth, I'd say thin your brows just a bit. Don't get me wrong, I think they look great now. And I'm not saying pencil thin, as I'm a big proponent of thicker, natural brows. I hate it when the Salma Hayeks and Jennifer Connellys of the world overpluck. But I think yours could be shaped just a bit more and they would look even better. Send me an email (jerkyflea@hairboutique.com) and I'll send you a pic with a simulation so you can see what I mean.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out,
JF

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY!!! Have you made your decision? or will it be one of those last minute things while sitting in the chair?
Yes...and no...I have two styles that I have been thinking about and I am going to take both and see what she thinks. I have two pictures of each so she will get a feel for what I am wanting.
I have this look:
I love the bangs in the second one!
Or something like this! I was going to ask for her to cut it about an inch shorter than the brunette. I like her style more. But I was going to take both.

Women with long faces can look very hot in short hair, if it's done right ^_^ . Just look at these pics of Nakayama Akiko I put up: http://photobucket.com/albums/b302/naia_zifu/ ! *puts her in my pocket and keeps her* She is sugoi ^_^ .
Oh...and no way am I going to go with #3. I got a PM from someone with a hairstyle very similar. Let's just say I looked terrible! It made my head look like it was so much skinnier. I think something chin length will work. Blah...yuck yuck yuck yuck yuck! Why can't have a prettier face? I know if I went to th stylist and asked for #3's hair I will walk out crying from looking so ugly!
My ideas for hair cuts are varying in length. I plan on taking them to the stylist and asking what she thinks.
I have this for my short hair idea:
This for my medium length idea:
Which those aren't that different of lengths but...LOL! That's as long as I can get my hair since it comes to my chin area in the front. And then gets about shoulder length in the back.
Also I have this last style which is not short in any way, but it is if I decide to keep the most the length and get it styled. This is the only style I could find that would let me keep my length because everything else requires it to be a lot longer.
well i dont think you would look terrible in short hair at all! so tell us how excited are you about getting a new look? and what style are you leaning towards? i voted for number 3 so i hope number 3
do you have any photos you could post on the board when you had your hair cuy really short? and i still reckon number 3 is the best style i really think the bangs would look awesome!

I like that last one-- lots of variety in styles to try with it ^_^ . Very good idea, if you're the type who changes your mind easily, as you can make it look totally different from day to day!
Actually I was searching the web and found a style that I can so see myself in. Lots of variations of it...I think. They look like all the same girl. I sorta fell in love with the style...but knowing me I'll change my mind instantly.

Well, I think it is well known that I change my mind every two minutes. I showed my mom various styles I was interested in and she says to keep in mind my hair will turn out shorter than I wanted because that's just what my hairstylist does. She will cut it a bit too short at times. I wanted to get rid of some length because I can't stand my thick thick hair!
My mom thinks these two styles I have saved on my computer are good.

So which did you pick? And I shoudl make the comment that I am not going to be coloring my hair. Maybe I should pick another style then. Ugh...Uh...any style that will hide my huge round nose and forehead.
