thinking about getting my hair cut even shorter

Hi Snipette,

I've just replied to bnbiv00's post mentioning that all that my boyfriend can do is the blunt cut Wouldn't want to test his abilities for anything else so it will be a trip to the salon for any future shorter or layered cuts. I plan to have my hair cut at this chin length (or slightly shorter) for the rest of this year before growing it out again.
Have had long hair down to my lower back for about 3 yrs now and have just remembered how good it is to have it shorter. I can't believe I can go for that long with just having 1cm cut off all the time. Although the worse thing about it is that I don't know how to style a bob into something more interesting to attend weddings, parties and functions.
When my hair was at at a chin length bob... I had a lot of compliments. I tried a shorter length (which is between chin and mouth) and it was only a few cms shorter but it appears that it gets mixed reviews.
So long story short... after these few months of growing it out a bit for the upcoming events...I w
ill make an appointment and try a style with the back cut shorter than the front. Are you a hairdresser? I really like the sound of hair being cut too. The little snips and then looking at the results. 
Clippers...hmm if only I was that adventurous  It sounds really enjoyable the way some people write about it. And I really like touching guys hair that has been clippered too. It has that prickly yet soft touch to it.  Only problem is...if I managed to one day get mine clippered at the back, then I probably would be tempted to run my hand over the back of my head all day

Rose, There are a couple of things to consider.

Sorry, I would rather not post any pics of myself on the internet. My cut is pretty much like the image on this website: http://beauty.about.com/od/shorthairstyles/ss/chinlength_10.htm

Except I have wispy bangs just past the brows and above the eyes. Lovebobs...I've read quite a few of your posts and pictures of Kim. I love bobs too. But was curious about what the next short style up would be from a chin length bob. Am not interested in shaving my hair or anything like that extreme like that.

He just does a straight cut...meaning blunt cuts...I swing between long and above the shoulders, layered to growing all the layers out and having it all one length. I have a stylist but I didn't go to her this time because she likes cutting longer styles and won't go any shorter than chin length on me. Just wondered if anyone had pics or knew someone with a heart shaped face that went to a short style and it looked good.

Hi all...I'm new to this forum. Last year I had long hair and my stylist cut it to a Reese Witherspoon off the shoulder style cut. Which I loved but when it grew out...it became a really shaggy, boring look. I asked my bf if he could cut it for me and he cut my hair to just below my chin. Anyway, just recently I've asked him to cut it shorter (he does a really good straight cut surprisingly!)...so he reluctantly cut it to about 1-1.5cm above my chin. I must be crazy because I've been contemplating about having my hair cut shorter and shorter. Does anyone else here like the sound of scissors snipping away?... I don't miss my long hair at all. I've been curious about the shorter styles but have read that heart shaped faces should stay away from short styles. Does anyone here have any advice as to what short styles would go well with heart shaped faces? I don't mind styles that are really short either...I haven't been there before but have been thinking about it more and more lately...
