Beyond the Pixie (cut)

[70isaLimitNotaTarget]

My hair is six weeks past it's last cut and though the back and sides are still short, the top is getting longer (my hair is wavy)

I'm thinking "hmm shall I let t grow a bit for a change?"

I could straighten and gel/mousse it , bring the fringe forward or side parting.
But how do you get beyond the messy stage without running screaming to the hairdresser and shrieking "Cut it off, cut it offfff "

I havw grown my hair a few times. I do it by gettng it into a short bob and growing it longer. Its always worked for me.

Hats, accessories, clips and slides. Anything for a bit of distraction from the 'too long/not long enough' stage.

I got through it by gradually moving the parting further and further to one side, until it was long enough to put into a bob shape. My fringe went from being a crop to being more like Frankie from the Saturdays, if you can picture the shape.

I also went down the accessory road. Tons of headbands, with the fringe down, like this and try experimenting with quiffs and pulling it all off your face too.

I apologise if the Michelle Williams pictures have the same effect on you as they do me- looking at her makes me wish I'd never grown it out!

I'd look like Thelma from Scooby Doo with a short bob (though my glasses are slightly more refined than hers )

I'm going to try my ultra mini straighteners during the week, and move the parting different sides
Trouble is, the short hair is just so darned convinient and I wash it every other day but it gets soaked on non-wash days.

It would need to be choppy layered to sit in a short bob (Meg Ryan type) but I had a one length shoulder length bob for ages and got bored so I'm not aiming for that again.
