Could I do it? [pics]

My hair is annoying me as it's really thick on top. My face is long anyway and I don't think the bulk helps - I need to get it cut every 3 weeks just to keep it under control. I am considering going VERY short but I don't know if I can pull it off. What do you think? Please be honest!
For info - in photo I am wearing eyebrow pencil and a bit if blusher. So this is what I normally look like (but hopefully not as dim Wink) . I usually wear mascara too though.

I can't tell what your current hair style is like and it looks as though you are wearing a hairband perhaps, but you are very striking (prettily so); I would think you will suit very short hair, maybe with some softness across the top of your forehead.

OP, I thought the second picture was you.

Do it, very short hair on a woman looks fabulous and if you don't like it you can always grow it out.

You would suit very short hair. You're very very pretty bitch Wink

I think you could, for sure. I'd love to do this but not gutsy enough!

Leopard Ha! I wish it was me. Very kind of you but I don't think I'm pretty at all. All I see is my family trademark nose!

A lot of women say to me that they want to go super short but they're too scared.

I'd say, judging by the length of your hair already, that you could go for it. If you decided you didn't like it then it shouldn't take long for it to grow back to your current length.

Ah - your current hairstyle is similar to Naga Munchetty's: you'll look fab! I have short hair, but couldn't carry it off super short.

Funny you say that wowfudge I get comparisons to her all the time. Especially now she's on Strictly and seen by more people.

Go for it. You have the right bone structure for super short to work, and if you decide you don't like it, you can just grow it back out.

Yes, definitely a Naga likeness. I love Naga. I think she's the most attractive woman on TV at the moment.

Do it OP, you'll look beautiful.

I love your hair as it is now BTW. Short hair looks great on you.

I need to leave this thread now as I'm trying to grow mind after years of super-short hair and you're making me want to chop it all off.

UPDATE!

I did it, and I love it 😊 DD2 not keen though! Don't think I'll ever get used to washing my hair with shower gel either! Thanks to everyone who gave me the confidence to do it.

I just washed it and haven't put anything in it (yet!) which is why it's looking slightly fluffy!
