hairs halp

I love my long hair, but I'm getting really tired of it. I wear it down to work some, but at home I always have it pulled back because otherwise Gwen is grabbing it, twirling it, putting it in her mouth (bleck), etc. I'm wondering if I can pull off short hair? And I mean like Noisy circa-lesbian hair short.

Here's a not good pic I just snapped with my cell phone, since I literally can't find one picture of me with my hair down that isn't more then 7 months old:

Right now its more then half-way down my back. Its pretty fine. 

I did shoulder length a few times before, but I think I would just end up pulling it back same as I do now:

Halp? Am I crazy, or could I actually pull off short?

Re: hairs halp

  • You have a strong jawline/chin which is always my rule for pixie cuts so I think you might be able to pull it off. I would go a little longer than NP did and with more bangs. One of these maybe,

  • I never saw Noisy's lesbian short. Are we talking buzzed with a fringe in front? I don't think that look works if you're older than 17 and not interested in the girls. 

     I keep going back to an A-line bob with bangs b/c there is no styling needed:

    You have nice cheekbones so I don't think you have to worry about looking chimpunky.

    That is the exact picture I took to my stylist. It's definitely lower maintenance than long hair, but I can't say no styling needed if your hair isn't naturally straight. It looks like you have a lot of fullness and wave in your hair like mine.  I have to straighten it to get the bob to lay right.

    I think I might take this to my stylist. 

    I don't think the bob would work for me for exactly the reasons Buddha was saying... I have some natural wave and really don't have the time or inclination to straighten it in the morning.

    I would photoshop your face onto whatever pic you're considering to get a better idea if you like it.  I went the uber short hair cut route a few years ago and it is a LOT of maintenance. I had to wash, straighten, and style it every single day and I don't even have a love of wave. Short hair does some extremely funky things at night when you're sleeping. You have to start from scratch every morning.

  • I like that one from mod. I also like the shirt thing.
  • I have a bit of wave, but this was just brushing and a little bit of spray gel.

    It's not a look everyone likes, but I don't find I have to do much to it.  Most days I just shower than run my fingers through it.

    I like that, but I hate having my hair in my face... so it either needs to be long enough to pull back into a pony (in which case, I might as well not cut it!) or short enough that I don't have to.

    I have to do that anyway because I get the greasies.

  • I'm really digging this little boy's hair.  It seems fit for a lady.

    I find short hair really convenient, but it definitely depends on the texture and the cut.  I'm getting mine cut Friday and trying to decide how short I want to go.
