XP: Is this cut / color combo going to be too young for me?

Sorry, MCC, for the cross-post. But I figured you guys might have an interesting take on how this will look out in the dating world again. 

I haven't had my hair cut or colored in months now, and the root regrowth and split ends are driving me batty so I'm headed in Saturday afternoon before my 1st date with new guy. I was born with bright red hair, that went white blonde, then went to a dirty blonde that I highlight. Right now it's been over-highlighted so it's looking way too light and needs a change up (either darkened, or color change). 

This is my hair now (minus a couple of inches it's grown since that pic was taken):

This is the color I had a couple of holidays ago that I'm thinking of going back to (maybe a bit more red, actually):

And this is the cut I'm thinking of getting

Be honest with me - is it too young for a 31 year old?

  • I love the red color, and love the cut! My hair is way too thick to pull off that kind of cut with all those layers, otherwise, that's exactly how my hair would be cut (and I'm 32).

  • I think it'll look fantastic!

  • I actually think the darker color looks better with your coloring. And no, the cut is not too young for 31. It will look great!

  • I love the cut! I actually like you better as a blonde, but I'm partial to blonde hair. I think the red will look really nice also on you if that's a color you prefer. 
  • Great cut, totally Ok for your age and you look like you're 19! So yes yes yes.

    I get that a lot, actually.

    I's ridiculous how much I get carded now. I swear, when I was younger I NEVER got carded - mainly because I looked about 12 and I think people assumed that I knew I looked young, so I wouldn't even be trying to buy a drink if I wasn't old enough. Now I look *just* old enough that people want to check. Le sigh.

  • I still like the red and I love the cut!  Very Isla Fisher and she's amazahot.  Who's the date with??

    Btw, I was also born with red hair.  If my eyes were still blue we'd really be twins.

    Date's with a new match guy - the one that I've been chatting on insane amt with (chatting with him right now, actually). I'm having to force myself not to get too excited about him because, I swear, it seems as if he knows exactly what to say about every topic we've covered - I actually was joking with him today about it!

    And one of these days, MCC, I'm going to make it back up to the NYC and drag you out of Jersey for a gtg!

    Woohoo to the guy.  Also, truthfully I could use a trip out of the Jerz.  Maybe I should Acela my asss down there in the spring.

  • Love the red color, but I'm partial to redheads for the same reason that MCC is partial to blondes lol.  I think the cut is a little edgier than what you've got going on right now, which could be a nice change!
  • I like the cut and the red color!
  • I love the red in your second picture! And I think the cut would look amazing, go for it!!

  • Not at all.  I think it will be perfect
