Thanks GC2599 .

It wasn't too long ,not even shoulder length .Money is not an issue as long as the product truly works .

Thanks!!

I would ask your stylist what would work "best" for your hair.

That's why I posted my question here in the first place; I asked my stylist but he just said I could use any styling gel. :(

I would imagine that I would just sample a few.  It all depends on what you are looking for in the product.

Thanks for your reply conrad. :)

This one will do for now, & I'm planning to keep this pixie cut for a while. I missed short hair.

A little chameleon aren't you.  I agree with Hawg, going the right direction.

I really like your haircut. I am considering getting something very similar. My hair length is currently just below my shoulder (one length).  I am a little nervous about the reaction from my friends. My boyfriend won't be a problem, he is actually encouraging me to do it. But I was wondering if you got much of reaction from your friend or co workers. Was it difficult to find the right stylist?  I am also curious how you had it cut in the back, is it down to the collar or shorter? Do you have to go back often for to keep it trimmed? Sorry for all the questions, but I have never had short hair before.

Thanks for the encouragement.  I have talked to a few of my friends about it and they are encouraging me to go for it as has my boyfriend.  I am looking for a style that is professional and very low maintenance.  I literally want to be able to towel dry it in the morning and then brush it to the side and be done with it.  One of my friends who has short hair says you need to be careful picking the style as it can actually be more work than long hair.  So I am leaning towards a really short side parted style, although I am not sure exactly how short yet. I am thinking about having it at least above the ear lobes, maybe higher and a bit above the collar with lots of layers. Right now it is the shortest it has ever been, it is just below the shoulders (one length), so I am a little nervous about taking the plunge. My boyfriend and I are going away on vacation early next month and I am planning to have it done before we leave.

Laurie82 - good luck with going short.  It may be worth considering having the sides cut completely around the ears.  Leaving an odd inch partially covering them may result in it being more difficult to manage as these sections may develop a life of their own and stick out at inconvenient times thereby spoiling your enjoyment of short hair.  Just a thought.
