Long hair vs short. Pic included

[Tattooedmama]

Me again, already have a post about shampoo and conditioner

I have quite long hair, it comes half way down my back, already booked in tomorrow to have a fringe put in but im considering having it all cut shorter... the opinions from people i know saying keep it long (including my partner) but i find it drags my face down and it does age me (im 30) what are others opinion? Keep long, or go shorter?

Oops forgot pic scribbled myface because of my wonky eye 😆

It's beautiful! I would add a fringe and go say 3/4 inches shorter, tops! Xxx

It looks like a mix of two hair styles, kind of a bob and then long and layered. The ends look a little dry - i think you need several inches cut off.

I know she's persona non grata, but a shorter Caroline Flack hairstyle would suit you. Have you ever had a fringe? I tend to find people without them don't have one for a reason.

[Kwkwjwkek]

Defo go shorter. It will look fresher and nicer. The ends are looking scraggly

[BonnesVacances]

This length

[Tattooedmama]

The ends are very very dry, i constantly seem to get my hair caught and the ends are in dredful condition.
I have had a fringe a few times, havd cancelled tomorrows appt for a fringe and made an appt next week for a proper cut. Im thinking maybe a side swept fringe?

Try coco and eve hair mask before you lop off any inches. Remember it take a year to grow 4 inches that’s a bloody long time to get back a mistake

May be too much off for you but I think it would be lovely cut to just below shoulder length - like this. You have gorgeous hair.

[MopsRUs]

I think shorter would suit you, anywhere from shoulder length to an Olivia Colman short style. I would go for long layers around your face, rather than a straight fringe. Your hair is a really nice colour by the way.

[MopsRUs]

IMHO a straight-across fringe could make your face look more round or triangular rather than the oval it currently is.

I did this once - went from long hair to really short. I wouldn't recommend that for you because I think it's maybe better to go gradually shorter just to be certain it's what you want (because it takes ages to grow back). I'm glad I did it though because I was so curious and even though I prefer it longer and have grown it back now, I did enjoy the total change

[Tattooedmama]

Thankyou everyone for the replies 😊
I was thinking of like a long bob, it has took 3 years for it to get to this length from shoulder length but im now just hating how high maintenance it is, dry and i have little baby curls that dont grow (along the front and underneath) so currently when i have my hair up these bits always stick out and looks silly, kerby grips never stay in either

No fringe!

[Cookit]

Mine is like yours and I’m itching to do something with it, I just don’t know what.

I’ve had it all cut off before and within a year or so it’s super long again so I’m not worried about a terrible mistake, just something that will look nice most days without being high maintenance.

[BestestBrownies]

You have beautiful hair and a face shape that can take most styles so lots of options open to you.

I agree the ends look a bit tatty, so would go for a deep conditioning treatment and then a professional consultation with your hairdresser, who will be a much better judge in person than anyone just looking at a photo

[BestestBrownies]

Do ppl recommend coco&eve then? Their ads are always splashed all over my FB and look promising but it’s pricey so would love to know if it’s really that good

[Inliverpool1]

I paid £60 for two tubs, two little tubes and a micro fibre towel. I’m pretty stingy with it and only apply it when I can leave it on for an hour but my hair is like silk ... I also olaplex when I bleach and alternate between number 3 and coco but tbh it’s taken nearly 5 years to get my hair nice and long. I’m not chancing anything

[abstractprojection]

I would say a long messy bob, I wouldn't go shorter then your shoulders though

[Tattooedmama]

Hair gets chopped tomorrow will update with photo tomorrow, feeling so nervous

[MopsRUs]

How did it go? Photo please

[PuppyMonkey]

Clearly I’m too late to add my opinion but hey ho, I’m going to do it anyway. I think you could very effectively cut to the length of your very shortest layers (the bits framing your face in the current photo).
