It's now sitting on top of my shoulders.
I have short layers in it, and I hate them.
I guess it's a cute style in general, but not
quite for me. I feel like I look like a boy.
Right now, due to the darn layers being so
short... all I can really do with it is put it
half-up, half-down or pull it into a pony tail
just to get it to look decent. And unfortunately,
curly styles don't work for me.

I'll upload a picture if necessary. But folks... if
you could help me figure out what I could do
with this hair... I don't want to always have to
pull it up just to be comfortable with it.

I feel like all I can do  is wait for those layers to
grow out...or chop some more off (which I DO NOT
want to do).

much of the layers, unfortunately... but it gives
an idea, I suppose.

My wife always thinks she looks like a boy with shorter hair...nothing is further from the truth (for both my wife and you)

 Thank you all for your comments and help!
I REALLY appreciate it!!
I think I'll consider going a little shorter with it, even though
I hate to do it (because my hair seems to grow much slower
than most). But if it'll help it look good now, perhaps I should
just embrace shorter hair for now!

LovesShortHair - Can't see in the picture, because, well, I'm
pretty much a mess lol... but I actually do have bangs. They're
just pushed to the sides.

 

Good luck and post a picture or two once you have decide.

It's gonna take a lot for me to actually just chop a bit
more off. But I'm trying my best to talk myself into it, trust me.
I'll be VERY specific when letting them know how much to
cut off and all of that.

I'll post some pictures when I go through with it!

Thanks again!!

I went back to the place where I got my hair cut (my hair had grown
about an inch or two longer since the cut). I figured, if I could get them
to thin out the layers and cut the length a little shorter, then it would
even out and look decent enough to where I'd be comfortable with it.

Well, guess what? I went. I told her how I felt about the layers and what I didn't like about the haircut in general...and explained what I wanted done. They were in a rush as usual, it seems. She asked me "So you want to keep the layers?".....I wasn't thinking. I didn't think she could do anything with it. So I just said "yeah". Thinking she'd keep 'em at the length they were, which by that time, with the hair a little shorter would've looked more like long layers rather than the short.
Oh boy.... she cut the length to where I wanted. No problem. BUT SHE CUT THE LAYERS AGAIN! Sooooooo.... two months of growth down the drain. I'm back where I started and I've pretty much had it with haircuts.

Now, I've got to go out tonight for my cousin's birthday...and I haven't a clue what to do with this hair. We're suppose to be going to a nice resturaunt first and then probably to a bar or club afterwards (but we have to dress up a little - not suits, ties and dresses or anything, but you know...nice). I bought a black lace head band yesterday....figuring maybe I could use that. But I'm so unsure.

Any tips?

PS. My apologies for the whole rant and rave. I'm just frustrated.
I hope everyone's having a nice day.

 

One thing that might help you in the future is to bring pictures of haircuts that you like so that the stylist has a visual reference.  After years of miscommunications with my stylists and haircuts I couldn't deal with, I've found that to be the solution.  It beats trying to explain what I want to my stylist and hoping she understands. 

 

In the meantime, I wish you the best with the growout.  Play around with hair accessories - headbands are great and are totally in style.  After awhile, the hair will become a non-issue and before you know it, you'll be at the length you were before.

      I guarantee you that had my wife continued visiting her former stylist, the longest her hair ever would have been is shoulder blade length, if that. Only *I* trim her hip-length locks now. In other words, find someone you can trust implicitly to trim your hair, and keep the instructions simple. And finally, if you do desire more length, space your trims FAR apart, if possible. Best of Luck, Bob

    

I appreciate the support!

I ended up actually being able to do something with the hair
for last night. The head band worked perfectly. And for some
reason, my hair decided to co-operate big time. I straightened it...
and for the most part...the layers laid somewhat flat.
And of course the head-band helped out.

Thanks again you guys. So begins the grow-out process yet again!

ALSO - I saw a girl at the club I was at last night... she had shoulder-length hair... but it was kind of bobbed. A tiny bit shorter in the back
than in the front, but enough so you could tell. What would I ask for
if I want that cut when I grow my hair back out to that length?

I've noticed that Bam Margera's wife (Melissa Rothstein - aka Missy)
had her hair like that. But I haven't been able to find pictures of it.

Can't seem to find pictures of that particular style cut either.
