I have hair that is about 4-5 inches past waist length and I'm chopping it all off. Probably to a buzzcut that I will grow out into a pixie or possibly just going for a pixie straight off. Or I will do an undercut or mohawk and leave the top 4-5 inches so that I have something left. My question for you guys is, I am not a skinny girl by any means, but I'm not gargantuan either. Does super short hair look awful on cubby ladies? Can you give me a clue as to what to do with short curls? Here's a picture of what I'm cutting.

Curly hair can be cut short but it has to be the right cut
  I’m intrigued by your willingness to go for a buzzcut; where does this come from? ------------- HAWG |

I'm selling my hair, and it grows pretty fast. So a buzzcut is really only that for a very short while unless it's maintained. ------------- She's a predator posing as a housepet. --Fight Club |

| I would go for the pixie cut...as HAWG said, get it cut right...a pixie with curly or wavy hair can look awesome - the texture of the hair works well...think of haley berry. The height left on top will help you look taller, hence leaner looking.Good Luck |

Thanks Orange :) It's nice to hear something positive, so far no one IRL has been positive except for my husband. I don't care a lot about what other people think, it would be nice to hear something at least polite. But anyway, Thanks for all the compliments they are appreicated.  ------------- She's a predator posing as a housepet. --Fight Club |

It's been a while, just wanted to stop by and thank everyone again for the advice. Now I'm sporting an undercut and the top has grown out to about 4-5 inches. Honestly, there are days it looks like I have just stepped out of the 80's. Most days it cooperates enough to look decent, though. Anyway, thanks again! ------------- She's a predator posing as a housepet. --Fight Club |
