I've had the chop!!

[YellowStripe]

After being blonde and bobbed and boring and I LOVE it!!

Nocomet, I don't necessarily think that the things you said rule out short hair. Mine is pretty straight, and used to get really greasy when it was long. Now I shampoo my pixie cut every day, but only condition it once a week. I don't think it's ever looked greasy since I got it cut short.

It looks amazing, it's taken years off you!

I went for the chop a month ago. It's very liberating. I've been saying I was going to do it for about 2 years but my Kids and DH kept talking me out of it, so I made the appointment and did it without telling them! I am so glad I did!

Agree its taken years off you - you look fantastic

We should have a thread where we all NC and post photos of our short hair .

I love my short hair, and finally feel like me. I can't hide behind my hair any more either, so I think it's made me feel more confident too.

My hair is similar at the monent and I use a wax stick, think its maybe toni and guy. I get it from Boots and it last forever.

This is it, the packaging maybe different now.

It looks fantastic! You look loads younger. What a difference it's made!

wow you look wonderful!

Thanks coco - I'll get some of that tomorrow, along with some Sleek Me(?) blusher/bronzer someone rec'd on another thread. Apparently as good as Nars so I'm assuming it's the dogs b*llocks!

Another quick question - if anyone is good at colours - am I autumn or winter?

Fairy one of my DDs is speechless (in a good way) - not had an opinion from the one who didn't want me to have it cut. But ffs, I'm 47, I don't need permission from ANYONE!!

Sadly my hair has no body, it has no wish to be styled, products make random bits stick up in random directions for five minutes.

I have a DF who has her hair like the OPs, it looks great, but I also know her '80's flick looked great. She has obedient thick hair.

My hair is badly behaved from it's splitting ends to it's greasy roots.

Love it - it's made an amazing difference. I really like your make up too.

You look fab. I did the same thing two years ago and haven't looked back.

I like your specs too. Where are they from? I need new ones.

They're from SpecSavers but I'm not sure I would recommend them! Very light, titanium frames but I can't them comfortable, and the staff seem to have trouble adjusting the arms.

Remus the hairdresser put some make up on me so I could take a decent photo! Estée Lauder blusher (or bronzer) and a Clarins lipstick - more orangy than I would EVER have considered wearing - always been a Plum Beautiful/ Heather Shimmer girl!

The lipstick colour really suits you. :)

That colour lipstick really suits you.

Coming from Remus - who knows about these things - it must be true!

Ooo and coco! Thank you!

Just looked for that wax stick - it seems to be marketed for men; not that it bothers me, just checking it is the right one?

Me? Nope, I know nothing! But it does look really nice.

When I googled it it was coming up in a black packaging and it did say men in it, that was on Boots . That one I put up was ebay.
Im sure they are the same sort of thing. Ive had it for so long its bound to have changed!
Its quite a hard wax, really good.

Yellow DS1(19) said "your hair really suits you like that Mum, you look much younger" the other day! I was a bit shocked, because he is a bit wicked and never compliments me so asked him what he wanted!

When they all first saw it they were a bit shocked but they did like like it.

Fab cut. Like many have said, it's taken years off you.

Though I've often thought that re short hair. So many women would suit a chop but those who actually have one are still relatively few and far between. (I haven't had hair longer than about 10cm for 30 years )

fairy it means more when it's unexpected like that!
