Would this look ok? (hair pic included)

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

Bored with my hair.. again. Had it coloured recently and it's a bit dark..especially down the lengths. I really would like to try going grey again soon.

I fancy a short cut..but a bit scared of looking like a bloke !

Current hair and a couple if ideas... any thoughts?

Looks fab! I too have a lot of hair on top in a not dissimilar cut, but I'm further confounded by being clueless about "product". I tend to scrunch in a blob of mousse and shape my hair with my fingers. If I bother blow drying it, I put in a bit of clay/wax stuff that the hairdressers -conned me into sold me after the big chop to give it texture.

[Caprinihahahaha]

You look fab. Lovely cut.

[HolgerDanske]

What a good ad for what a great cut can do for you!

Big thumbs up

[Dowser]

Very nice. Yes it has taken years off you.

[itsaldramarama]

Wow that looks fab :) really suits you

[HolgerDanske]

It shows how good it is to mix things up every once in a while. I bet you feel like a different person!

[knackeredknitter]

You look amazing!

[fourtothedozen]

Great cut- you look amazing.

[StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes]

wow... years off ya!

[ChishandFips33]

Wow! Completely changes you - for the better!
Thanks for posting the pic
Wishes I was so brave

[ChishandFips33]

What did you ask for btw?

[sanityforlunch]

Waaaaaay better!

[HemanOrSheRa]

I clicked on this thread and was going to post urging you to go short. You have lovely bone structure. I see you have already done it and you look fan-feckin-tastic!

[Hellionandfriends]

Sexy new style!

[Follyfoot]

Wow, what a lovely transformation and your cheekbones look completely different!

[ArseForElbow]

That looks great, much better, well done on being so brave.

[Supercosmicrays]

That looks great you're bound to get loads of compliments
Shorter & styled is much more flattering when you get older, it lifts your face
As for going grey, DONT DO IT, it's so ageing, even my mum has a semi permanent colour every 6 weeks & she's 93!!

[CherryBonBon]

Medusa you look fab. Amazing cut that suits makes you look years younger and much more fancy .

Supercosmic I could post a photo that would prove how monumentally wrong your statement is but I can't be arsed.

Grey hair is not ageing. Looking old makes you look old.

[amothersplaceisinthewrong]

Wow, looks fantastic really suits your face shape.

But I don't agree that shorter always suits everyone when they get older. I have longer hair and everyone says it suits me better than short

[HolgerDanske]

Yes of course short hair doesn't suit everyone. But I do think a drastic change of some kind (and if it suits) is a good thing from time to time, especially when the tendency is toward becoming set in one's ways.

I also disagree that grey is always aging, in fact I think a lot of the 'flat' harsh colours that people use to cover grey have a very aging effect.

[maybemyrtle]

That looks amazing! You look all elfin and just marvelous. Love it; I'm seriously considering taking the plunge now too (baa).

[LoveVintage]

Looks great, well done!

[Fatrascals]

That looks absolutely great! Knocks years off you.
You've inspired me to do something drastic with my hair now!

[pnutter]

Really lovely op.

[MedusaIsHavingaBadHairday]

Ah thank you for being so kind :) I do wonder if I should have had the sides shorter..they are tucked behind my ear and one taekwondo class later.. in full sparring kit (yes.. menopausal and nuts ) I now am wearing a less flattering sweat mushroom on my head !! I think I will have to do daily styling while I get to grips with it.

I took the brown hair cut pic with me on my phone and said 'sort of like that'! A bit of a risk at a walk in cutting bar, but hell.. hair grows again so I figured if I hated it it would grow. Dh is away tonight but he assures me he doesn't mind whatever I do. My sons however have both gone WTF MUM?! (aged 18 and 22 and think all women should have LONG hair lol)
