Alright, I'm sort of obsessing today.  I know I want to go short but I can't afford an expensive hairdresser and I'm worried it won't come out right unless I am extremely specific.

Anyway, this is my hair:
 
I want to cut it sort of like this:
 
Since my hair is thick and wavy, will this work for me?  I am pretty sure a bob won't work for me, too much work to straighten it and get it to curl under the right way.  Should I get choppy layers or shaggy layers or what?
 
Please help, and thank you!

Wow, you're really up for a big change.  My wife also has thick and curly hair and she has been very short before; she also has worn a bob but she did have to blow it out everytime.  It's all in the cut.  The first time she went short she did it at a Fantastic Sams and got great results.  I would take pictures of what you want; if the stylist balks at what you want to do, go somewhere else.  You're paying for the cut, get what you want.

Well, it's done.  Not quite as short as I was thinking, but it was hard to tell when it was wet while I was getting it cut.  I do like it though, I'll probably wear it like this for a while and get it shorter next time.
 
Should have pics in a couple days.

Is that a picture of you?  I look at it and I see Drew Barrymore who happens to be one of my very favorite ever short haired women.  If I were you I would look for pictures of her because she had a thousand hairstyles and they all worked.
 
Good for you cutting it all off.

Sure, it will sure you, as your hair is shiny, wavy and straight-friendly, but take care, when u go for a cut, keep it shoulder length first, and do not go straight for the shorter version of the bob, or shortest to say so!!!
 
Inform us, if u got the hair trimmed or cut or not? How it luks?
