I had my hair cut today...

And it's boring :(
It was a chin length bob, no fringe. I', growing out colour so thought a bit of a fringe might help hide the roots a bit, but it just looks so bland middle aged-mum ish (I am a middle aged mum but I think it makes me look older!)

I had contemplated going short..then chickened out. It would make growing out the colour easier I know.

I can't face going back to the same hairdresser..I know it't daft but I feel embarrassed. So... do I suck it up for a few months and wait, or shall I walk into supercuts tomorrow with a pic of my old short hair from years ago and go for it?!?!

It looks great! Much more up to date.

drbartlet · 31/05/2014 17:41

What did you ask the hairdresser for? Did you take in your old picture?
I'm asking because that is exactly the style I want and I want to be copy you

Safmellow · 31/05/2014 19:27

Wow you look fab!

MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday · 31/05/2014 21:42

I took in a pic from Pinterest. www.pinterest.com/pin/556968678888664761/ and said.. it can be as short as this or a bit more bob like but stop me looking so old Grin

Random hairdresser in a walk in salon and she just said..yes you need layers and started chopping! Then asked if I wanted it a bit shorter and voila.

I'm not looking forward to work on Monday tho. I HATE all the 'oooh you've had your hair cut' attention. (I always want to go 'what?! NOOO what happened??!!? Grin)

Gosh, what a difference!!
You look younger and lighter!
Lovely shape too! Good decision!!?

twostepsister · 31/05/2014 22:51

Looks lovely Medusa and definitely not old and saggy

MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday · 31/05/2014 23:29

I so am :/
But my DS1 borrows money off me at the end of every month (even tho he earns more than I do) When he pays me back I put it in a tin... and reckon I have enough to look at some botox or fillers!

  • fondly imagines I'll look like Kyle and not Simon Cowell.....

God that's miles better!! Lovely!

Medusa can I also just say.....your cat is MASSIVE!

(just had a nosy at your profile pics Smile)

MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday · 31/05/2014 23:39

LOL he is indeed. Sadly he was recently hurt.. the vet suspects humans :( and he is now a terrfied shadow of his former self.. won't cuddle , hides away and has an unspecified hip injury. Lots of meds (and bills) later we are hoping he recovers as he is a beautiful cat who was totally trusting and loving :(

Selks · 01/06/2014 00:50

Oh no, that's terrible! So sad Sad. I wish him a full and speedy recovery.

lordStrange · 01/06/2014 01:07

Oh just read your thread op and was going to champion a sharper crop for you! Well done, it really suits you.

caker · 01/06/2014 07:38

You look super! Tell your colleagues that your hair shrunk in the wash!
