New life - new haircut???

[KirstyWirsty]

Now that my husband has left I have the urge to get my hair cut from a longish layered style to a sharp bob

Has anyone else made a change to their looks after a split? Did you regret it or did it give yu the oomph you were looking for?

I think it's a great idea, go for it.

And I agree with deste, just go for it! Good luck for the future KW

had mine chopped off short and dyed a completly different colour.oh and joined a gym,lost four dress sizes,got fit and now stand at door when ex is dropping kids back from contact visit thinking ha that showed you!!!!!! did it all for me and it feels fab!!!!!!!11

Have lost 2 st since Sept (when he left,) had hair cut into a short, layered bob, feel and look great! Can't give Dickhead eye contact, even though it was his affair, etc, so no idea if he's noticed. Who cares, I feel gooood!

Oh yes, do it! Think you would find it very freeing and it is only hair which will grow back.

Had my hair chopped into a short style years ago and never looked back.

Just before I packed in smoking I dyed it from very light blonde to a reddish brown colour simply because I really wanted/needed to see a completely different reflection in the mirror.

Which helped me to see myself in a different way (helped with the smoking)

Weird but true for me :)

Going to book the appointment today :-) x

well done tinkerbell41 and everyone else.

thankyou start..............

brillant kirstywirsty...enjoy!!!!!!!!!! one piece of advice,make sure you really trust your hairdresser! i had know mine for years and she knew wot i had been through so she was more than happy to chop my very long hair-ex wanted it long-off short....wot she did was to chop it up to chin length one week then crop it really really short nxt time i went-bout 4wks ltr...just so she knew it wasnt a major shock to me.............i then dyed it a completly different colour!!!!!!! when ex saw it he said wot on earth-nice version-have you done to your hair and i said,well at least i have hair-boy did that feel good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it got me loads of positive attention and made me feel fab...............so enjoy...........

Yeah I am growing mine into a sort of bob and will be dying it red in the not too distance future, both things my exH didn't like and moaned like mad if i did try to do,

It feels very cathartic to do this and just because I can!!

I got the haircut and I love it!!! :-)

Getting very positive feedback here at work too

Thanks everyone for your encouragement

Brilliant, Kirsty! I bet you look gorgeous!

It wouldn't be modest to say :-)

I've already lost almost a stone with the trauma of the lies this year so I am happy with how I look and I'm delighted now!!

Glad you are pleased. I think it also sends a message out to your ex that you have changed, you're not the person he thought you were. It shows confidence.

I had the problem of my hair being really short before so getting a new hairstyle has been an extended process. Wish my hair grew a little quicker.....

Hair extentions, QED?

That's extensions.

Well done Kirsty! There's nothing like a good hairdresser to cheer you up and send you on your way to a new happy life. I know it is a cliche but it's true. My hairdresser, a bloke, has been wonderful to me. It's as good as counselling.He will get a nice bottle of wine when my Absolute comes through.

QED snap, my ex wanted my hair short almost boyishly short and so i have spent much of last year trying to grow it into a bob but am still stuck in the in-between stage where I look like I've let myself go

My hair is growing :) And I did like it short, just wanted a change. Possibly should have considered wig for a little while though...
