Hi there.
My hair is thinning and I feel like a change. Even though all the girls say Don't do it!!!
I used to have my head shaved, then Ive grown it past my shoulders, but it gets in the way and I can't do anything with it.
Im also up at 5:30am every day, so hate having to wash and dry it every morning.
Do you guys think this will suit?
ME NOW( I actually have it layered now since this pic and no longer have a fringe, I have a big forehead too lol)
 Hair Im thinking of:
  thanks :)

I'm a lot bigger than I was when I had my head shaved (stone heavier) so was concerned it may not suit me, although I only a british size 14 |

Do you have a picture of what you looked like when it was bald? I ask because that would give a good indication of your forehead and just your overall look. Yes you say you are bigger now but it would still give a good idea on what it would look like in the future. Or do you have any pics of what it looked like while you were growing it out?

| If you are worried about being larger now, I wouldn't go for the shaved look but a pixie with height would help - the first pic you posted looks awesome to me and I think would work with your features. |

Wow hottie alert. You look much sexier with short hair. Plus you look much smaller that a size 14. Good choice of style |

| It's such a big improvement! If I looked that good short I'd never want to grow my hair long again. |

Awww thanks everyone.....panics over
The only thing I'm having probs with is some cowlicky bits that insist on going the opposite of where I want them, but my hairs that used to being in a side parting it'll take a week or two of washing and styling for It to re-adjust.
I forgot how liberating it actually is to cut all of your hair off, I was really concerned that I'd look too boyish being bigger than I used to be, but I've been told I couldn't look manly if I tried so thats something.
Whats strange is the reaction from people. The people who tried to talk me out of it are now the ones that love it the most!!!
My whole wardrobes changed too...I got rid of a 3rd of my wardrobe. Anything that made me look older or frumpy went in the charity bin.
I now have new funky baggies, cute Disney shirts and some really cute little hoodies...I feel like the old me and the real me, not hiding behind my old boring long hair.
Thanks for all the advice and lovely comments....SHORT HAIR ROCKS!!!!!!
