So I chopped my hair off after high school and haven't looked back. I LOVE short hair. However, I have grown it just past my shoulders in the past year, and I've grown oh-so-tired of it. I have medium-thick naturally curly hair. It's not a very tight curl and is very manageable to straighten (i.e. it gets shiny and straight with no frizz). I have a roundish face, but I like to "break the rules" and keep my hair shorter than chin length. Despite all the caveats against it, I love having short hair! Here are some ideas I have (in general, short in the back, LOTS of layers on the top, and NOT too much volume on top). http://www.breakingthetape.com/just-one-more-mile/archives/sz440jo-thumb.jpg - http://www.breakingthetape.com/just-one-more-mile/archives/sz440jo-thumb.jpg http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/MMPH/263778.jpg - http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/MMPH/263778.jpg At ALL costs, I want to avoid the horrid 80s short in the back style with a mop-top. Also, I'm worried my hair is too thick to have that "sleek" look to it. Let me know what you think! Or, any more ideas? My older, shorter cut and then my natural texture:   |

| I think you should go with the Kiera cut or something like that. Very short sides and back with the front left longer so you can style it diff. (swept back, tousled, down straight...) |

I agree. I think the Kiera cut would look great. That is such a great style. Your first pic shows that you definitely look good with short hair. |

Thanks for the replies, guys! I'm glad you guys like "The Keira," too. I like that one better than the Sienna Miller photo, but I'm just worried my round face can't carry that Keira style so well. We shall see.... PS.....haircut is tomorrow!!! We'll see what my stylist thinks |

Sounds like you're describing a pixie-like cut. Am I way off? Send a picture of what you're talking about. I'm not so sure about having no fringe/bangs in the front because of my long face. I think that height at my crown would help. But then again, I haven't been cutting hair for 25 years, so advice is welcome! -tm |

I realy like Keira's hairstyle, very classy and feminine and it looks
easy to maintain. I would recommend it and am thinking about a similar
cut myself. |

Yeah, ok. So i'm going for the Rihanna/Keira. I'm SO excited and I can't wait to post pictures. I'm nervous about how the thickness of my hair will effect the top/front of the style, but I'm sure it's not something I can't manage! Wish me luck! PS....Do it, Laurie! |
