Bonjour! I have wanted to cut my thick wavy hair short ( by short i mean from the chin or shorter) for a while now, but I`m wondering if I would get too bored with short hair. I`m wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this, I appreciate it.

Personally, I think wavy, thick hair looks great at the chin length. Like- an all one length bob for example. Its one of my favorite hairstyles, versatile and a classic beauty. Speaking as someone who has had virtually every length of hair, I wouldn`t go much shorter than say 1 inch or so below chin. Because with thick hair, it can get pouffy when its short and the stylist will recommend layers to thin it out-then its a nightmare growing out, if and when you grow it out(trust me I`m there now!). Anyway, That length is also a GREAT start to SEE how you like it AND because should you not like it, it grows out fast!! (Well, it seems to anyway, especially with all one length!)
Oh...your question (sorry) That is hard to answer without knowing you. I`ve always had fun with the style I mentioned. But if you go with shorter & more layers it will be less versatile, so keep that in mind.

Thanks for the reply! I was kind of worried that my hair might get to poofy if I went too short. I`ll have to make my decision.

Hi Arianna,

The answer is....it`s impossible to know until you get there! It sounds like a cop-out, but it`s true. Some women cut their hair short and absolutely love it. And some cut their hair short and absolutely loathe it! Have you ever had short hair before? That might help give you a clue.

Perhaps another question is, what prompts you to think of a haircut -- the look or the feel of your heavy hair? If your hair just feels too heavy, you *may* (not saying you will!) like short hair. But if it`s only for the look, I`d proceed a bit more cautiously.

Good luck!

Jennifer

Yes I have had short hair before, but I didn`t really like the particular way it was cut. I do have really thick heavy hair and that is kind of why I was considering going short again. Thanks for your ideas!

Dear Arianna,

I think if you are even slightly worried that you won`t like having your hair shorter, then that is more than enough reason not to cut it. Also, longer hair is much more versatile and in my opinion much more attractive also. I think your hair sounds quite beautiful and would certainly advise against you cutting it off. While short hair can look nice, long wavy hair is so sexy, and guys really adore it.

Best Wishes,

John
