I'm getting a long awaited, much needed hair cut tomorrow and feel like a change. Any recommendations please that will suit me? I know what I like but am unable to judge what will suit.

Thanks.

PS Have interview Friday so this will be quite timely.

TBH I think your current style really suits your face. Maybe have a trim and some highlights instead.

How about a choppy bob with a pulled-to-the-side fringe? (not heavy fringe)

Oooh! Does that mean I can ask for a 'posh' bob or 'pob' with confidence then? I don't particularly want to look like her but I do like her cut!

I think your current hair is lovely. Very thick and glossy.

I say just a trim and maybe a few caramel hightlights.

Don't fix it if it's not broke!

thank you!

So, bob/pob or just a trim.
Am going on 'model night' so will just be the cut for now which is all I can justify forkign out for even at 'model' price!

I was thinking I'd chicken out of using the phrase at the last second probably.

pob is that character that spits isn't he?

BAck in teh day, I really wanted JEnnifer Aniston hair

went to hairdressers and instead of just saying that, I spent 10 minutes trying to describe it.

At the end, she said "so, like J A then?"

me - "er...yes"

What about keeping the overall length, but with some fairly choppy layers. I just had something similar done and I'm really chuffed with my new look.

I really like your current hair. If having a cut I wouldn't go much shorter as I think your length is good (and bet it looks nice with loose curls by way of tongs/GHDs) Sometimes bobs can look a bit boring - I know I have the pob and prefer it now it's longer and more femhinine - but I've kept the longer at front than at back style and really like this still.

Highlights-wise, some shimmery subtle ones that just catch the light would look very nice and sexy (instead of going for the stripy ones)

Hope all goes well!

Thank you doughnuts. I had a very nice time, just sitting down for more than 2 mins was nice.

Need to see your hair - get some pics on your profile! I suspect you are just humouring me

Have just hjad mine cut and am getting used to it - I loved it at first, now slightly regretting it (is short now, from a bob) but that's usual. I always wanted nice dark hair but have instead very fine fairish hair.
