Great progression, you are a classic beauty! The shorter you go, the better it looks. I wi admit, the first cut or two seemed to look like you were growing something out. Once you brought the sides over the ears, it was a HUGE impeovement! I think you should keep that and the neck pretty clean and shorten up the top and bangs a bit more but giving a lot Of texture to the top.

Once again, congrats on going for it. Thinking a few tweaks will help you have what you alwant in the end!

Thank you. I will try and get some better pictures at some point, because they are a bit hideous! I really like it a lot - of the short cuts I have had this is definitely my favourite. I feel like a little pixie!

I got my hair cut this afternoon. I took in a few pictures but told the stylist to do whatever she wanted - I said I wanted the sides shorter, but that was about it really. I really like it - it is much more of a pixie and it's cute. The pictures I have are a bit rubbish - it looks better in person than it does in the pictures. I will try and get some better ones at some point, but here you are for now. Thank you all for the advice.

Thanks everyone. I have seen loads of pictures that I really like now - I think I will go for one of the slightly longer ones for now now, and then next time if I want another change I will go for one of the shorter ones. I really like changing my hair and getting different cuts, so if I stick with a longer one for now that still gives me options for changing it again without having to wait for it to grow. When I cut it off from long my only regret was that I missed out all the other changes I could have had in between! Going short was definitely the right thing for me though - it makes a nice change, and it's a bit more uncommon - I have loads of friends with long hair, but not that many with short hair. It's funny though - a few years ago I would never have considered going short.
 
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!

Short hair is so hot right now that you really can't go wrong.  I agree with Hawg.  You should definitely go with a cut that shows off your eyes because they are gorgeous.  Clipperguy is also right.  The longer pixie are so easy to style and look great.  Please post whatever new look  you get so we can all see.

I'd definitely go back to the second stylist - I think the second cut suited your more than the first.  Plus they were making suggestions for alternatives for the future and thus should positively consider your requests.
 
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.

I say go for something like the 4th picture that Hawg put up in the second group. It looks like more of a younger persons cut and could be done messy if you want to

My hairline at the back is a nightmare - I have a horrible cowslick about 2cm above my hairline at the back right, and so they have to cut or clipper that bit out or it makes my hair lie really funny, but even then it doesn't lie right, but because of that I can't really take the back much shorter because there would be a hole where the cowslick is. I am not quite sure how to describe it. When I had it cut last time she did cut the back a lot shorter than the first time - it was cut into my hairline at the nape, but I don't know if it can be shorter than that because of my weird cowslick. I will ask though because that is something I have thought myself. I think I will definitely go shorter at the sides around my ears, and the back if possible, but not go for a really short pixie at the moment. Can do that when I want a change again! Although I frequently change my mind, so who knows! It depends how soon I can get to the hairdresser. Will post photos after though.

yes.  Go shorter... Lose the scrappy fring at the nape of the nect.  get that area a bit closer... The longer pixie cuts will work great.

I think you should cut your hair shorter than previous times. You should keep a fringe, and have the back and sides cut shorter, over yours ears. Maybe like this:http://www.flickr.com/photos/28838087@N08/5149469903/in/photostream http://www.flickr.com/photos/28838087@N08/5182278808/in/photostream http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyy8COBXTpo

The first pic you post would be great too.

I thought my face might look too long with a short fringe? I might keep my hair a similar style to how it is now at the moment but have the sides a bit shorter so it is cut more around my ears. I am sure I will go for a shorter pixie at some point, but I might try out another cut this kind of length first. I found this picture - I don't like the colour or the random long strands down the left side, but apart from that I like this style http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/full_pic.asp?pic=11813 and I also like this, although there is something about the make up that is offputting and stops me being able to see the hair properly! http://www.ukhairdressers.com/style/full_pic.asp?pic=13934 If I do go shorter I want something that can be a bit messy and choppy rather than something that always looks very neat and styled.
 
Looking at my pictures, when my hair had been cut by 2 different stylists, do you think 1 stylist is better than the other or not? Trying to decide which to go back to.

I concur...keep the fringe short.  Either one of the pics you posted would work...though there is certainly nothing wrong with your current style...you look great!

I like both of those that you posted and I also think that a shorter fringe is for you because you have great eyes and you shouldn't hide them.  I'll give it another go on pictures
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm not suggesting any color change by any means.  Hope you find something you like and when you do, please share; we love pictures.

I want something a bit 'younger' and more current than most of those pictures if that makes sense? I think some of them look like they are more suited for older women, or they look a little dated. Also my hair is very straight and fine, although there is a lot of it, and so it tends to go flat easily, so it wouldn't stay in a lot of those styles. I do find that a bit of a problem with a lot of styles I see that I like - they often seem to need hair that has a bit of natural body/wave, which mine just doesn't. I can get mine looking good when I have just done it, but it starts to lose volume and go flat very quickly. I was thinking more along the lines of a pixie that can be messed up a bit but I am not sure what exactly. I liked Emma Watson's hair short - the shortest was a bit too short, but I like the style and how it looked when it grew slightly, so maybe a slightly longer version of her cut, but I can't really find a picture. Maybe something a bit like this? http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fbaJR4ekaUY/TdZ0CY5FNaI/AAAAAAAAAGE/aGhC4c4jTAI/s1600/AntmBrittani18Crop-46959760.jpg or http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/realitytv/s128/britains-next-top-model/i356984/britain-and-irelands-next-top-model-c07e06-all-for-eve-nude-photoshoot-juste.html ? I don't know really. I don't know if it would look better to keep it a similar length but go shorter around the ears etc, or go for a generally much shorter cut like those two are, and I don't know if a longer fringe suits my face more than a short one. All so confusing!
