To get my hair cut short, really short

[Mylittlesandwich]

I'm 28 and fat. Really very fat. I've hidden behind long hair for about a decade. I'm coming out the other side of a challenging pregnancy followed by PND followed by DH being unemployed and working 2 jobs.

I finally have clothes that I like and look good on me but my hair is a disaster, I dyed it myself about 2 years ago and have been so attached to the length that I've let it grow out and it looks weird. I feel like it's time for a change but I don't want to regret it.

Attached is the style I have my eye on but not the colour.

Its lovely, suits you. Perhaps go a little shorter next time?

[BlueDahlia69]

look fantastic OP..

[ladygindiva]

Just rtft and seen your photos. Your hair looks great x

[Beautiful3]

I like it! Go for it. If you dont like it, remember it's just hair and will grow.

Whenever people go short they always go back to their salon a couple of weeks later to go shorter

I bet your hair feels lovely and thick now! (Not that it didn’t look beaut before!)

[ladygindiva]

That's a great cut, do it x

[StoneofDestiny]

Agree - go like the picture next time. Much more trendy. Hair grows - so no cut is every a disaster for very long.

Love it!

Definitely the right decision.

However, if I were you, I would go shorter next time. Just like the pic.

Well done

I was thinking that myself. It seemed like such a change it seemed a lot shorter at the time. DS is still looking for where the rest of my hair went but likes the little shaved bit.

It looks great!👍👍 I agree with pp, next time go even shorter.

It's gorgeous.

[Bergamotte]

Nice!

Once you've lived with it for a bit and got used to it, you could even play with having the "long" side cut a bit shorter next time.

I would go for a angled Bob. This haircut will look good when cut but within a week or two will need a touch up and will be a bugger to grow out due to the different lengths. I've had something like this before and hated it after the first week.

As long as you have time to do it every day then go for it. It’s a nice style.

i used to have my hair like that and i thought i looked like frankie sandford.
i looked like frankie sandford if she'd put on 932 stone and aged 8391 years but i still LOVED having my hair like that.
hope you have a fabulous cut!!

[TimeForTeaAndG]

Yay!!!!

[ahhhcomehere]

Ooo let's see!
I had my hair cut short just before lockdown, it's all grown out and looking weird now so I need some encouragement to get it cut again!

[Mylittlesandwich]

Well I did it and I love it! It's not quite as curly as the picture but it still looks great.

[EmeraldShamrock]

Go for it you only live one life.

[Hexinthecity]

Do it! I’ve did the same about 4 years ago, it’s evolved a bit over theblastv4 years with the way I colour and style and I love it, easier hair style to maintain. Dh clippers my undercut when needed so it’s not that bad with needing regular hairdresser visits,

[LaurieFairyCake]

I really want to see it mow

It's a great style

[Goldrill]

My hair was beautiful, blonde, thick, waist length and I got it all chopped off. Ended up with a lovely pixie which actually suited me. The long hair in itself was very nice but it didn't particularly suit me, and it definitely didn't suit my personality.
It's got a bit longer again this year as DH proved to be spectacularly crap with clippers. Now long enough to tie back, and very nearly all beautiful again and it makes me feel like a middle aged frumpy. It will be going as soon as I can get an appointment, and then it will also be changing colour.

Hair should suit who you are as a person. Not trying to advise you either way, as no one here has seen your current hair; just that it's not always about whether it looks pretty or not.
Good luck for tomorrow and please put up before and after pics!

Do it. Its only hair. It grows back

[Ninkanink]

Do it!
