You can totally rock the pixie, I would not buzz it or anything, but short and choppy would look great with your features!

If you don't realise how much better you'd look with either Pixie but especially the second one, you should get your eyesight tested first! lol

I'm sure you do Bob, since it was reminiscent of some of your posts in this forum before you toned them down!  Wink

I don't have thick hair, just a lot. I can wrap an elastic three to five times (depending on what kind it is) around my hair.

It's really wavy right after I wash it (like in that first picture), but the day after I wash it it's straight, maybe a little textured.

It's straight close to my head, so I'm thinking it might behave. If not, I won't mind styling it since it won't take as long as it does now.

I dont know that why you want to go for so longer while you looking great in this view. I will suggest you  to do not go to cut your hair.

First of all, thanks for posting your virtual makeover pics. I think they look great. If my eyes serve me well, that looks like Emma Watson's pixie, right?

Anyway, I look at your original post and you seem to have fairly thick hair with some wave to it. Is that correct? If so, I am not sure you would be able to obtain this pixie cut. If you sent us more pics of yourself, I could probably recommend a different pixie that would look great and work with your texture. If your texture is what I am thinking, I would go with more of a Halle Berry pixie.....

beebuz,

After looking at your pic of the second cut again, I agree totally with Hawg.  I would also go for that exact cut.  If your stylist can duplicate it, you will look amazing!  Gorgeous!

Please do let us know how it goes!



P.S. Wish I would have quoted daniel to preserve what he said, since he found the need to edit it out.  Oh well, live & learn.

Don't worry deepwavedaniel, you just told me your opinion and I'm grateful for that. :)

Thanks, makeitshort and HAWG, I think I like the second one as well.

I think that the second picture would look awesome on you.  You can pull that one off with ease.  I would go for that exact cut.  Good luck and please let us know how your journey ends.

Beebuz,

Regardless of what the previous poster said, both pics show you would look great with short hair.  I personally think the second one is particularly stunning.  Yes that length looks great.  No you don't need to go longer unless you want to.  And it absolutely suits your face.

Please keep us in the loop!

Daniel,

This is the SHORT hair forum.  If you don't like short hair why are you here?  There is a long hair forum that would welcome your opinions.

Okay, I was thinking about cutting it all off because I never style my hair.

Here's a picture:

And here's a couple of my with the pixie cut that I did on one of those online makeover things:

Does that length look good, or should I go a bit longer? Does it suit my face?

Thank you!
