How pretty do you have to be to pull off a pixie cut?

[AdventureBe]

Short hair suits me (IMHO) but ATM I have a longish fringe and some body to it.

I'm thinking of going much shorter because the current do takes quite a bit of doing, can't take any moisture in the air without flopping and I think it's a bit dated/aging.

However, I'm an ordinary looking middle aged woman, rarely wear make-up and I have a larger than average nose!

goinganon, I think it'd look great on you! Like many have said on this thread, it's just hair - it'll grow back if you don't like it. DOO IIIIIIIT!

Oh you're so kind, Enormouse, Mitzy & Bonnie. Thank you

I now feel like I can go for it!

That's a great picture, Mitzy. It's hard to find many pixie pictures of anyone who's not in their 20s (which as you can tell I am not!) on hair websites.

I know what you mean about feeling brave, Bonnie. I think that's part of my motivation too.

Thanks BabC - I think I WILL!

You look a bit like her too so you can see how great it looks!

Oh I missed your name off the previous message noddy
Thank you so much for your reply.
I'm rather chuffed to be told I look a bit like Robyn Wright!!

Going Anon, you have a fabulous mouth and eyes, and I think it will really accentuate that. Basically if you look better with your hair up (I do), you look better with a short cut/ pixie. I'm not fully sure of the short fringe, but the Robin Wright would definitely look great on you, as your fringe already looks fantastic.

Thank you Merry. I'm rarely told I have nice eyes as they're hard to spot so that's lovely of you!

OP are you still around, and did you go for the short cut??

They're not hard to spot! They're smiley.

Is anyone by any chance based in Birmingham, and could recommend a good hairdresser? I've not had anything complicated enough done to require one since living here...

Mine is very short. I think it's far less to do with 'prettiness' and more to do with bone structure. A sculpted face with defined jaw and cheekbones is definitely enhanced by stripping back the hair. And I am not especially pretty- face has plenty of character though!
