Opinions wanted

 

Some of you may remember that I had my hair cut from long to short back in July, and then had it cut again 5 weeks later. 6 weeks on and I need to get it cut again, but I wanted opinions. Have posted some pictures (some of which are rather hideous but never mind!). The inside ones were taken when I returned from the hairdressers the first time, the outside ones are a week or so after the second time, and I haven't done that much in the way of styling, but I don't tend to really to be honest.

 

The first time I had it cut it was like this

 

 

 

The second time I couldn't get back to that stylist and really needed to get it cut as I was going away and couldn't see out of my fringe (!!) so went somewhere else. She cut the back quite a lot shorter, more into my neck, and also put a lot more layers in and cut into it more, so it was shorter generally, and she also cut the fringe shorter and cut into that more, and it looked like this (a week and a half later anyway!)

 

 

 

I still don't have any plans to grow it any time soon, so am still looking at short styles. I liked the fringe the first time, but it was in my eyes very soon after getting it cut. I preferred the shorter back of the second time, and more layers stopped it going as flat, although I still find it difficult to get enough width on the sides, rather than them just laying flat. Questions are - which do you prefer? Which stylist would you go back to? Should I keep it this sort of style, or do you have any other suggestions? If I kept it this sort of style I thought about having the sides a bit shorter to try and get some more volume into them, and also thought about having it shorter over my ears - thoughts on that? The second stylist asked if I would ever have a shorter pixie as she thought that would look good, which I would if it would suit me or not? I don't want a super short crop, but don't have a problem with going shorter than it is now - I figure since I have cut off 12 inches, another inch or 2 isn't that big a deal, and I may as well experiment with shorter styles whilst it is short, as at some point I will probably end up growing it again, although not any time soon I don't think. So yes, advice/suggestions/pictures etc would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

I love Papsu's first picture (plus vid) and this could easily be changed to a messy style.

 

Definitely agree that you should go shorter and expose your ears (or just the one if you wanted to try an assymetric do?)

 

Have fun experimenting and ultimately I think a short pixie would really suit you and would be worth trying at some point.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the stylist advice Heratic. I liked both hairdressers, but the first one was about three times the price of the second one, and also a lot further away (20 miles vs 3) so practically it is much easier to go to the second one, and as you said, I did like that she was making suggestions. I didn't really tell her what to do before - I just said it had been going flat and so she cut the back in much shorter to give it more shape and layered it loads and loads more. I liked that she was confident enough to just do it - I hate it when hairdressers ask me non stop how long I want certain bits, as I just want them to make me look good - I don't know how long that layer should be etc!
