Suggest a new haircut for me? (pic included)

[lucysmam]

You have to excuse the serious face & dp's hoodie!

I'm boooooored with my current haircut but don't know what to do with it. I just know I don't fancy a pixie cut.

Any ideas?

I like sharp bobs. I'd probably just go a lighter blonde.

How much lighter Belly?

WhataRacquet, I'll have a google for 'how to' instructions! Think the cut is quite similar to what I have already.

Put a fringe in?

Fringe, but I would say that because I love fringes

This colour maybe?

Maybe go for a choppier style and I second lightning it. Your light shade is nice btw :)

Maybe experiment with hair products to get more body at the top and get a bob that's shorter at the back.

Oh! I like that Belly, very much! I have a few greys creeping in, that'd disguise them especially the ONE that's right where I can see it in my parting.

I shall have a look for styles with a fringe and choppier styles on Pinterest tomorrow.

Blodss, any product suggestions?

I've been very low maintenance for years so am a bit clueless, but am slowly re-finding the slightly vain me who enjoys spending hours on myself

Well you're gorgeous and I second looking at scarlett johanssen pics as you look like her. A wavy bob would be nice if you can get a curl in your hair. And side fringe.

Aw, thank you pnutter .

I did have a google of Scarlett Johanssen earlier after WhataRaquet said I looked like her. I'm ready for an 'update' so was looking for everyday looks but think Pinterest may be better for that.

My hair is wavy if left to it's own devices, it just looks like a very messy version of the SJ picture linked & I have no idea how to make it look 'done' iyswim.

I had a side fringe not long ago - it's grown out & just irritates me now.

PLEASE let me know if there is a treatment that can produce a permanent wave like the one in the picture of Scarlett Johanssen. I also desperately need to update my look and this may be exactly what I need to try!!!There should a whole topic of mumsnet devoted to giving advice on a makeover, to a power who has submitted a photo.

Hi, I think your length is good and I wouldn't go shorter if I were you. Longer is softer and more flattering I think. As someone else said, I'd go for a warmer blonde colour to give you that lift you need.

Defo dont go shorter (ageing) and don't go for a warmer blonde - go for a cooler blonde (like that pic).

You do look like scarlet I like Bellys one

I've just spent half an hour or so on Pinterest...everything I pin is pretty much the same as Belly's picture above so I will nip into the local hairdresser next week to book an appointment.

Aww it will look lovely

A fringe, I have a high forehead and am forever debating the fringe idea.

Please send us an updated picture!

Shorter is not ageing!

I would have recommended a pixie/crop but you've ruled it out.

First thing I thought when I looked at you is 'she looks like me!'. You could be my younger sister!

Then my kids wandered in, glanced at the picture and thought it was me too.

My hair currently looks like a burst mattress so I'm of no assistance to you whatsoever though.

Indomitable, I think pixie cuts look fab! I'm just not feeling brave enough to get it all chopped off.

Wendy, your burst mattress description fits today's hair perfectly . I went to bed with it wet & it's an unruly mess this morning.

Not sure about style, but colour wise, I think you could pull off platinum blonde. You should definitely go for something strong. I think if you went for something warming, it could look a little meh.

Jealous. Wish I could rock the platinum look!

Be brave. Short hair is the best! And if you don't like it it grows out quickly.
