Unless you really cut it off and get a short crop, but you should have a small oval face and probably a different boyfriend!Your Friend; Jenn

Just a thought: How about trying on wigs to know ahead of time how you'll look, or one of those computer imaging softwares where you can put a photo of yourself in different hairstyles? I agree with Jenn-short hair can be harder to maintain than long hair. Ultimately, it's up to you-not your boyfriend, although I understand the need tofeel that your man is pleased with your looks. Still, your own judgement must come first. Hope this helps.Holly

Hi Maria-Looks like your post has been getting a loy of views. Last summer I chopped my loose curly hair into that cute little Darhma cut, and it really flattered my face. However, I had to DO it all the time. So, Jen's right-- unless you get a really chort "pixie" cut, you always have to do your hair-- and that is not low maintenance. Anyway, I too have been debating about weather or not to cut again-- I just felt like i looked better with it short and it really fir my personality-- I tend to be very bubbly and outgoing-- but I just remember what it was like-- and now the growing out stage is even worse! So, I really think that you should think anout it long and hard-- like my hairstylist told me, "Shhort hair is a marriage!"Sherry> I have very long hairand I want for the first time to> cut it short.
