I want an Anne Hathaway crop

Am I mad?

I currently have a long bob with a fringe (picture on my profile, although have lost weight since that was taken and my face is a bit thinner now). I really fancy having it shorter, something like Anne Hathaway's longer crop. Do you think it will suit me?

DH likes the idea. DC are horrified, but they always are when I change my hair. They'll get used to it.

The DC have an appointment at the hairdresser's tomorrow with the stylist who also does my hair, I'm going to have a chat with her about it.

Well, I did it! Grin

I asked the hairdresser while she was cutting the boys' hair what she thought and she was really enthusiastic about the idea. She had a few suggestions as to what would suit me. She had a cancellation at lunchtime so suggested that if I wanted to strike while the iron was hot (before I changed my mind again!) she could do it today.

I love it. New picture on my profile. It is very short at the back, but still quite long on top. The hairdresser reckons I will never go back to how it was before.

You look great! I am very jealous. It looks really funky.

BitchyRestingFace · 10/08/2013 14:16

I love it, really does suit you.

Fantastic cut! You look great!

cocolepew · 10/08/2013 14:40

Love it, you look great!

spanishring · 10/08/2013 14:52

It does, it looks great!

dexter73 · 10/08/2013 15:08

Lovely - it really suits you and makes you look younger.

AlwaysSleepingBeauty · 10/08/2013 17:09

It looks beautiful, it's a very soft and pretty style.

Downfall · 10/08/2013 18:15

You do look great. How fab to see the before and after - thanks!

JemimaMuddledUp · 10/08/2013 18:22

Thank you. I've been admiring it in the mirror all afternoon Blush

I love it on you, and it slims your face out.

TheSunTheMoonTheTruth · 10/08/2013 18:27

I vary my hair between the cut you have, one slightly shorter, and the slightly longer one posted not that long ago, with it to the side. I tend to have it that way when I am wanting to grow it, get that far, then have it cut short again. I am wearing mine slightly shorter than yours right now, but only because the hairdresser messed it up and I had to get her boss to fix it Angry

Beerocl0ck · 10/08/2013 18:29

I'm late to the thread but I've just looked at the two pictures and the crop is younger definitely. It does make your face look slimmer yes. !

ninah · 10/08/2013 18:29

oh well done! looks amazing!

Hopasholic · 10/08/2013 18:33

Is that the new pic on your profile????

Looks fab!

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 10/08/2013 18:51

and here was me thinking 'eh... its already short and lovely' then I realised. looking at how it was then you did the right thing, its lovely on you and you look years younger and trendier than the bob.

INeedSomeHelp · 10/08/2013 19:16

Yes I was very confused there - reading the thread thinking "but that's what your hair is like in the photo where you're wearing sunglasses"!!
It looks great - I love short hair and haven't had mine long since I was about 10.
I've nicked one of the pictures shopafrolic pinned for my next hairdresser visit in a few weeks.
Given the colour of your hair, can I recommend Aveda Clove shampoo and conditioner. It doesn't colour your hair but it does enhance brown hair and, after a week or so of using, has made my hair a lovely shiny brown (it's normally a bit mousy)

aftermay · 10/08/2013 20:35

OP you look great! Well done! I'm having mine done in 2 weeks' time.

shopafrolic · 10/08/2013 20:51

Well done OP - it looks gorgeous on you!
Hopasholic great name :)
Aftermay so please you got booked in- I've told him to expect you :)

shopafrolic · 10/08/2013 20:52

Which one are you going for Ineedsomehelp ?

INeedSomeHelp · 10/08/2013 21:05

I like this one - and I think it will work with the annoying natural wave in my hair

shopafrolic · 10/08/2013 21:10

Yes! I love that.

INeedSomeHelp · 10/08/2013 21:10

If I could just have her face too!
