Hi EatGreenJello, Can't help with any suggestions, but I just wanted to tell you how terrific your hair looks. Anais ------------- http://anaissatin.livejournal.com">  my LJ , 40 inches long

Hi EatGreenJello Can't see any reason why you shouldn't have a pixie. The short forward styled bangs of a pixie would suit the high hairline on your forehead. I think something short and head hugging rather than your current fluffy look would be more in proportion with the width of shoulders which look quite petite. As a member of this board regularly says "Cut it short it'll always grow back. Maybe you should just change to the other stylist and tell her to go for it. You sound like your ready for a big change.

| I think you should just trim it up, it looks very pretty on you. Take off maybe an inch all over. |

As eKatherine said, your hair is pretty now and would be more so with just a little shaping up. That said, if you want to go short and try a pixie, do it. You have the face shape, features, and appear to have the hair texture for which it would work well. Your eyes and your already dazzling smile would be highlighted even more. Though you could go as short as you wanted, I'd suggest going slightly longer than your basic pixie, allowing it to be a little shaggier and messier, since I think that style would fit you well. Think Alyssa Milano and short: http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.aspx?iid=2461512&cdi=0 - http://editorial.gettyimages.com/source/search/details_pop.a spx?iid=2461512&cdi=0 http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_InStyle_1103.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_InStyle_1103.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_s_tonightshow_001.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_s_tonightshow_001.jpg versus a little longer and messier: http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_02.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_02.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_05.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_05.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_04.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_c_unicef_04.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_c_democracy_01.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_c_democracy_01.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_c_democracy_03.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_c_democracy_03.jpg http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssamilano/alyssamilano_s_charmed_s6ep16_03.jpg - http://www.safesearching.com/2k/assets/photos/actress/alyssa milano/alyssamilano_s_charmed_s6ep16_03.jpg ------------- 3 pm is simultaneously too late and too early to start anything. |

| JerkyFlea scores another hit. Too much bulk on the sides in my opinion - lose the bulk and the cheekbones and eyes will pop out (in a good way of course) |

As others have said - if you want it taken off and both stylists aren't advising you against it - go with the one who will do what you want. Like so many others it took my wife 2 goes to get it as short as she wanted, and ever since the stylist has been more than willing too take it considerably shorter. Not that she would do anything to make my wife look bad as when she had BSL length hair she was willing to cut it to the shoulders or into a lip length bob but wouldn't leave it inbetween at chin length. ------------- Its your hair, your choice and your decision |

You remind me of Tina Fey ^_^ -- a compliment! I adore her ^_^ ! I agree with Flea that those Alyssa pics would be a good hair model for you. I loved her pixie, and the slightly grown-out style is pretty cute, the way she played with accessories ^_^ . It would be easy enough for you to play with both styles. Just pick which one you want to start with, and do the other later. *shrugs* If you do the pixie first, it's just a few months of growing before you've got the other style, and if you do the other first, you can go shorter at any time. I figure it's pretty can't miss either way ^_^ . ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Thanks everyone for the compliments and the great suggestions! As for Tina Fey, I'll have to google her! I'm excited to make a change, I love to change my look and color a lot. Probably why I love this website sooooo much. You guys are awesome! ------------- **Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine. **Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown. **Length: below shoulder length |

Ahhhh yes, Tina Fey from SNL. That is a compliment! P.S. I'm going to an upscale salon on this Friday to meet and consult with a stylist that I've never gone to before. I'm going to let her do anything she wants, with my suggestions about an Alyssa cut. I've never paid $47 for a cut before, that's a lot for me, so I'll find out if it's worth it. Plus the fact, hair drying is a separate charge after your first visit. As for color, thank goodness I'm a DIY color dyer, so when I decide to go back to red, I'll save money there. ------------- **Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine. **Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown. **Length: below shoulder length |

hey hawg what's up! Well, I'm thinking about it too much because I cancelled my appt. because one day I like my curls and another day I hate them. What will happen is one day I'll think my hair is disgusting and I'll get an appointment that day, and totally change my hair. Spontaneous is how I am when it comes to my hair. I'll definitely post my new look when it happens! Thanks for asking! ------------- **Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine. **Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown. **Length: below shoulder length |

Well done eatgreenjello you had us all fooled. Not the usual obvious
troll with a desperate need to crop her waist length hair. Guess the
reference to the 2 hairdressers fighting over the length of your hair
should of given it away but overall 8 out of 10. For all us short hair
fans lets make a pledge that while we may offer advice in the future
lets NOT fall into the trap of asking how the haircut turned. It seems
that quick replies before the cut and silence afterwards is the
hallmark of trolls. Waiting for us to ask about the cut and then
telling us that it didn't happen is just their way of twisting the
knife. Spud |

Spud your name suits you well. I am not a troll and I really was going to cut my hair. Your comments were really weird. "Twisting the knife". Be for real. And I thought that I was dramatic. Maybe this board is a little too much for your seriousness. Remember, it is not a hair fetish board. A lot of people welcome honest opinions of what 'people that don't know them personally' think, and that's whats so neat about this board. It's up to each individual whether they go through with it or not. You need to get a life SPUD. And, thanks Hawg, you're cool in my book. ------------- **Hair type: 2a, which is wavy and fine. **Color: Naturally dark brown, currently dyed reddish brown. **Length: below shoulder length |

Given all that "eatgreenjello" had provided (a volume of thoughts and her picture too), I can't begin to imagine how you would come to think that she's a troll.  ------------- |

| This may be a little off topic (what's a "troll" anyway??), but is the Jerky Flea guy who posted a reply in this thread THE Jerky Flea who used to write that column (celebrity hairspray)?? If so....I used to LOVE reading that column and was wondering if it is ever coming back? |

To answer your questions, yes, it is the very same Jerky Flea who used to write columns (and we wish would write them again...) The term "troll" refers to a person who pretends to be someone who they are not. On this board, they usually take the form of some guy pretending "I'm a 25 year old girl with waist-length blond hair and I want to cut it really short". Usually they don't have pictures, or use pics from other boards. |

eatgreenjello, very cute pic. I agree with Jerkyflea on the Alyssa pixie cut. I think that you have a great look for that cut. If you ever opt for that look you may want to go with a smaller pair of eyeglasses. Smaller lenses would put more emphasis on that cute face of yours. Do what is best for you. Keep us posted. ------------- short is good, buzzed is better, bald is best!!! |
