To cut or not to cut....

Ok, I have been debating on cutting my hair for some time now. I love short hair but feel that for some reason it won't look good on me. I have really thick wavy hair so I don't want a puff ball on top of my head if I do cut it. I need some advise from those with short hair as to what type of cut you think would best suite my face and hair. Thanks in advance to those who take the time to care. :)
Here are some pics of me, tell me what you think will look good on me.

Well, it looks like most of the wave is on the ends, so maybe it won't affect the style much, if it's short enough? Have you had it shorter before, and if so, how did the waves act then?

I have had my hair about chin length, but it was pretty much a blunt cut not many layers at all, so it was somewhat like a lamp shade. I think if it is layered correctly that it will look good, but my hair can react weird sometimes....I guess I will go a little at a time. Thanks so much for your advise.

Thanks for your nice comments and advise. :)

Daniela, Rod is absolutely correct. The ladies that get pixies are 100% sure that is what they want before they set foot in the salon.

Remember, you can always cut more, but once it's cut, it's hard to put back. Good luck!

Hi Daniela,

they are right. Only go for a pixie if that is what you absolutely want. IMO it couldn't be the regular pixie either as it wouldn't flatter your face that much.

If I understand you correctly, you're thinking about chinlength bob's and such. Just go stand before a mirror and tuck the long hair in a turtle neck sweater. Then you get a pretty good idea how it would look without having it cut. If my instincts are right, a one length bob wouldn't match. Adding layers may help to improve the look, but I'd advise a shorter style. Definetely with side partings and very light and soft bangs.

Let us know what you decide ... lots of fun with the new style!

That cut is very cute and choppy. I'm sure it will look good on you. But don't bring that pic (or at least only that pic) with you to the stylist. Since she's bending over, it's difficult to tell Mandy's hair length. The length you think it is and the length the stylist thinks it is may be two different lengths. You need proper communication. Find more pictures of Mandy (or any other cut) that you like and bring them.

Make sure YOU really want it cut, Daniela. In my opinion, your hair looks outstanding. It can't hurt to make small changes first, possibly even streaking or coloring. I am very partial to long locks on most women, so my advice is served with a smattering of prejudice! (lol) Bob

I agree with Brent. I think the extent of Bob's post which should be acceptable here would be " It can't hurt to make small changes first, possibly even streaking or coloring" and maybe also the "Make sure YOU really want it cut, Daniela" comment... but the rest is not appropriate on this board. Bob, please try harder to conform to the spirit of this board.

Well I know Dave how much you don't like it when people go on the long hair board and encourage someone to get a short hairstyle, I learned my lesson about that one, HaHa!
I guess the same is true here in a different way. If a lovely lady on the short hair board wants to try a short hairstyle, we don't need to discourage her.
