for a VERY limited time only as do not want to out self in rl

i have shoulder length curly hair at the moment but tbh its in quite shit condition despite my best efforts :( and am sick of it

i have been growing it for over 2 years from a short crop with long layers at the front, which was dead easy to maintain and took seconds to style

i am seriously thinking of going back to that style and need your opinions on what looks best. please look at my pics and tell me, HONESTLY, what you think, i will not be offended, promise

You don't seem to have a viewable profile? If your hair is in bad condition it'll look better shorter though!

I prefer the short style on you.
I say this as someone who is not normally a fan of short hair - but going on these photos I'd say it looks much better on you

I think the crop suits you, somehow the longer hair just doesn't.

The crop is gorgeous! Would love to be able to pull it off thanks dad for potato shaped head

Definitely short! You look amazing in your wedding pics!

The longer hair is just a bit more.......meh.

Going to go against opinion here - I don't really like the crop - it looks like its stuck to your head. I love the first pic - curly chin length but not long.

The short looks more groomed/chic as it's a defined cut, the long is inoffensive but just a bit bland despite the colour, so short for me!

I'm surprised at the consensus tbh, I really don't like the crop. It's very severe looking and ages you. The longer hair is much kinder to your face and you look younger and much prettier.

I think you suit short hair, you look lovely, but I'm not so keen on the plastered down style. Why don't you go short but leave it a bit ruffled - soft, pretty, gamin, mmmm

Your short hair looks fabulous!

Sorry, I just realised "plastered down" sounds rather rude, especially as they were photos of your wedding day. You looked beautiful, you have a lovely face :-) I just think your hair is a little too hard in the pictures.

The crop, to be sure.

I agree with most ^. The short style is striking.

SHORT!

I would say short but in a more funky crop

your wedding hair looks nice and classic but if it was softer it would make you more approachable for everyday

you look like you have a fun personality so your hair should reflect that :)
