My hair is a mess-need some suggestions,please

Photo on my profile.

It's always been thin, but after last pg it's so much worse.

I used to wear it long and also had a Louise Brooks bob and it was dyed v.dark brown.
Now it's natural color-light brown.

Need to get a cut. Fringe? Short bob? Just a trim?

Thanks

No probs, fringe would probably not be a good idea then

31 IS young!

I'm 31 if you hadn't guessed

Oh, I know it's young, I just still haven't got over the shock of starting my 4th decade on earth. And various saggy and crepey bits make me feel older if that makes sense.

Yes, will post an after photo on Saturday

You've made me feel old by saying 4th decade

It's true, though
Somehow in your twenties you're not really aware of time passing by...at least I wasn't.

Thirties are supposed to be the best time of your life, though, chin up!

I was never worried about turning 30, turning 32 isn't bothering me either but it's creeping up now and soon it'll be the 5th decade, eek!

I will keep my chin firmly up

May I let you into my secret. Rollers. Hear me out. They give my hair more volume and a realy chic look. It does take time to learn to use them, but the results are great.

Rollers.

Hmm.

Do I keep them in overnight?

Keep talking.

I have only ever used heated rollers. Wash you hair, dry it with a hair drier and then put heated rollers in for about 10 minutes.

It does take time to learn how to do it (I have been using them since I was 15)

Somthing like this

Ok, some pictures. How about this
or this
or this
or this one

The second one is quite nice.

I'm not sure I have it in me to go so short.

Decisions, decisions...

Thanks, jolly- might think about it. Looks good, in fact.

Chin length bob with side parting for you, I think.

Yes, that's what I think as well. Hopefully will find the time to go tomorrow.

You're really doll-like, your skin is gorgeous! I think elfin crop!

Instead of the rollers, think about a babyliss big hair

You have a pretty, elfin face. You have cheekbones!

I'd go short at the back and longer, with a sweep fringe (slightly "scruffy" parting) and maybe, if you can afford it, a little colour. The colour/high or lowlights will help to give body and movement to the cut, if it's done well. Make it look thicker.

Pregnancy does take it out of the skin/hair/teeth!

I cut mine off short and LOVE it, try it and see how you feel, my pics are on my profile. let us know what you do!!

Silk- you look lovely with short hair!

aLeg- yes, that's the idea.Not sure whether to go blonder or darker, though

Didn't go today as have an essay due on Tuesday and still lots of reading and writing to do so haven't had time. Will try on Monday.

Winnybella, how old is your baby? I lost a lot of hair when my children were born but when they were exactly six months old, it started to come back. (It felt like a crew cut under my hair!) I spoke to the doctor about it with my first child as I'd lost such a lot and she told me it would be okay after six months, and it was.

Sadly, she's 2

Tbh, I think it's been exacerbated by stress and not always eating very well. Also DD is still bf 2-3 times a day- I wonder if that can also have some effect- as lots of nutrients will be going into bm and since I'm not really eating enough veg etc it may leave not many for me if that makes sense?

Have you ever had your thyroid checked?

This looks like one that might suit thinner hair if you kept it layered on top. I would go for a reddish tinge.

Have we had the Frankie from the Saturdays cut suggested? Short but with length at front so you don't feel too bare iyswim.
