Thinking of having my hair cut v short - any ideas?

[ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie]

Quite fancy a pixie-ish cut but with some length at the front, if that makes sense? I have a tiny face and also wear glasses. Am a size 10-12 hourglass - will I look like a pea on top of a football?

Pretty please?

Post a photo so we can see!

There is a tiny one on my profile - I'm the one at the back with dark hair and a little head!

Oh dear - I scared you away. :(

Am getting paranoid now...

I can't see any pics of you! There are 2 of people am assuming are your dd's?

Anyway, have recently gone short and this and this were the pics I took with me, Michelle Williams often has nice pixie kind of cuts. Are there any people whose style you like?

I'm a big heffer and i have very short hair! Just go to a hairdresser you trust and explain you want a new nice short cut and they should explain how it would best suit you... But pixie cuts do look v nice! I'm sure you'll look smashing, go for it!

I took the picture away because I decided you'd all looked and decided I was too hideous to help me! :)

Love both of those pics but all that hair on top would just sit on top of my glasses and swamp me.

Varying - thank you for the vote of confidence. :)

I had my hair cut from very long to very short on Thursday.
I will find my threads for you, loads of help & pics on there

Thank you.

lots of ideas

my new cut

It's very choppy at the back but I am glad I did it.

Love it - it really suits you. You are about a zillion years younger than me.

I had my hair cut short a couple of years ago; I also have a very small face and wear (children's!) glasses most days, lenses the others.

Go for it, its only hair after all it will always grow back!

Thank you both. Will try and find another pic...

hair hair?

:)

Okay..think I've managed to put a pic on profile - please don't run away in terror!

Hmm, you have a strong jawline and lovely skin so show it off!

If you go short you will need to lose the centre parting, maybe go for a heavy sideswept fringe and choppy at the back.

Go on, be adventurous!

It falls naturally into the centre - tis a pain.

Mine does too, just slightly off centre, but if you get a really good cut they can cut it so it falls another way.

I agree with sidge, although if it falls naturally into a centre parting then maybe go for the shorter pixie?

I've seen your pic, your gorg & so are your daughters. Definatly cut it short & choppy at the back with a heavy side fringe that will only need a cold blow with the hairdryer to set in place & a quick straighten.

This advice is coming from a women who has only had short hair for 3 days & has spent the last 9+ years with her long hair tied up in a pony ontop of her head so feel free to ignore.

Thank you so much. My daughters are indeed gorgeous but I am about as far from it as possible.

V scared of heavy side fringe - think it would swamp me. My head looks fairly normal sized in that picture but is actually freakishly small!

Instead of a heavy fringe maybe go for a short choppy fringe where your hair is the same cut all over & you can the spike or smooth depending on your mood.

:)

Sorry to be dim but I now have absolutely no idea of the kind of thing you mean.

Have had a google and just got depressed at how beautiful Kiera Knightley is!
