Hi Everyone,
I found this site looking for a new haircut. Also ways/words to explain what I'd like to my haircutter. There is an article by Jane B. Fraser on trendy hairstyles for my age group (over over-40) . It mentioned two new (2003) haircuts, the "versatile cut" and the 'dimensional shag". I'd like to see what the Versatile Cut looks like. Is there a link to an example of it? Also any other suggestions? The short-underneath, longer on top style sounds like it might fit my hair type. Which is layered, thick, graying, not straight/not curly and growing out from being very short. ( To me, it's getting long, but it's not even chin-length. )The back is collar-length and flipping up. I really need a haircut ASAP, but I don't want to go back to very short. I do not want a "mature" looking haircut--my life is casual and I'm not conservative (or retired). But I wanted a softer look than the spiky cut I had before. I"m not as upset about my hair as I was when I posted on the introductions forum. My life is changing for the better and my hair is changing too. I know it will be OK. HollyKin ------------- hollykhin |

It sounds like "versatile cut" is a phrase that means whatever you mean it to mean. http://www.azcentral.com/style/beauty/articles/062405age.html - This is the only "versatile cut" - specific haircut, that is - I found when googling. Other references were to carpeting types, cuts of beef, cut gemstones...
I think you should grow your hair to a chin-length bob or to shoulder length by getting regular trims. Classy and lower in maintenance than that cut. ------------- 
Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask? |

Thanks eKatherine for looking. I think that haircut might be a version of
the "dimensional shag" also mentioned in Jane Fraser's article. I couldn't find any other reference to the "versatile cut" on the web, either. You are probably right about the trims. I have been trying to go as long as possible between cuts so my hair can grow, and it ends up getting shapeless and out of control. I'm planning to see a friend who is a haircutter and consult with her on what is possible for my hair when it is in this stage. HollyKin ------------- hollykhin |

If your hair naturally flips as it is, why not play that up and get a cute, flippy cut? There are different kinds and lengths of flippy-cuts, so you can look around to see which ones might suit your hair now, or the hair you're working towards. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |
