haircut WWYD

This is my current haircut. I have very thin, fine hair, so this is really the longest I can go. And you can't tell from the pic, but it is a little bit shorter in the back, just a slightly inverted bob. I am considering doing something like this, but really not sure if I can pull it off. I love the highlights in that pic, but that's just not in the budget for us right now. I also probably wouldn't pull it so much toward my face, more sideswept. Thoughts?

Re: haircut WWYD

  • I think you would look great with a pixie cut. I wish I could pull it off - I say go for it!
  • I really like your current cut.

  • I have fine hair, too, and I worry with it being that short if it will actually stay styled?  Seems like product would weigh it down and it would just get limp again?  I've never had it that short, though, so can't tell you from personal experience.  I would ask your hairstylist their opinion - they would know from cuts they do how fine hair would fair in that style. 

     ETA:  LOVE your siggie - and that family pic!  :-)

  • I recently cut my hair similar to that and it was the best thing I have ever done!  It was originally a little shorter than that pic but has grown out a bit and I like the length now.

    I think that your face has a very similar jaw line to the model in the picture and the cut would look fabulous on you.

    Something to consider though is the maintenace.  I was getting my hair cut maybe twice a year before and now I can go no longer than 6 weeks max.  That's quite an increase in spending.

    Another thing is that it always requires styling.

    I say go for it, but I'm a big fan of changing hair styles. :)

  • I get my haircut every 6-8 weeks now as it is, so I am OK with frequent cuts. I am mostly concerned about my lifeless hair looking even more droopy and limp than normal if it is that short. I feel ready for a change (even though I do like my current style), but not sure what to do. Hmm.

  • As your friend, I say don't do it.  I know you like to pull it back and that won't be an option.  It would also be a PITA to grow out...
  • i like your current style
  • Thanks, ladies. I think I'll keep my current cut, at least for now. Maybe have her take it a little shorter next time I go in and see how I like it.
