Short hair, double chin, big boobs?

Does a short hairstyle (say, a bob) make a big bust more noticeable?

I have a pair of bazookas (at 30HH) and have this paranoia that having short hair will accentuate the largeness of my bust - I definitely do not want this.

I also have a slight double chin (turkey neck) and this also puts me off having short hair.

The thing is, I love short hair. My hair is wavy with a few corkscrew curls and I think it would look really nice in a bob. Its always been a dream of mine. But I just don't think it would suit my frame or my chubby (heart shaped) face.

I don't know - I just think that I would feel a bit exposed if I cut my long hair off...

Any thoughts, anyone?

Do it! No shorter than your jawline it's only hair it grows back. Smile

Ooh, I wouldnt want to post a pic, but I'll try and find the picture I used for inspiration. I'm substantial of norks too and my hair varies from curly to wavy depending on what mood it's in.

I do absolutely love having shorter hair again.

Go for it - it will always grow out.

A friend with curly hair has had an inverted bob. Something like this it looks fab.

The front is long enough to pin back if she wants it off her face.

Oh my god. That hair is beautiful. I couldn't dream of locks like that

can I ask a stupid question? What exactly is an inverted bob?

Rather than being flat across the bottom, the hair is shorter at the nape of your neck, and longer at the front - so looking from the back, you see an upside down V as the hair line.

ah yes. Thats what I like. I imagine if it was straight all the way around I would look like a curly triangle.

What also worries me is that I have a very small head. Will short hair make it look even smaller? I used to be known as "peanut head" !!

Inverted bob is what I came out with Wink I actually took a v similar pic in!

Haha peanut head made me laugh, I have one of them too! Although I get called pinhead Blush. I also have MASSIVE boobs and have had a bob. I don't think it made my boobs look bigger or more noticeable, but I did worry that it made my head look smaller.

pinhead Grin

hmm the cons outweigh the pros if I am honest.

  1. I would feel self conscious about my bust being 'exposed'
  2. I would feel self conscious about my double chin being 'exposed'
  3. I would feel self conscious about my peanut head
  4. Not sure the curls would work when short. Today my hair is almost straight. And its flat.
  5. I might have to actually put some effort into styling it

ARGH!!!
