Not long and swishy but like this.

I've always detested short hair. I spent years growing out a short bob. I have a big oval face. It would look pants. I still want to do it!

You mean a 'long pixie' Grin

My Pinterest is full of them

PacificDogwod · 14/11/2015 21:51

You likey?

Or this one?

Glitteryfrog · 14/11/2015 21:52

Do it.
You want a graduated bob. Shorter at the back to just below chin length.

Cocolepew · 14/11/2015 21:52

My pinterest hair board has over 1300 pictures of various length pixies.

ThomasRichard · 14/11/2015 21:56

I don't like either of those. They look great on the models but would look horrendous on me.

I want a cute dude to give me a perfect 1-second haircut :o

This is low maintenance Grin

PacificDogwod · 14/11/2015 22:07

Actually it probably is quite high maintenance, thinking about it.

I know what you mean, about haircuts looking great on models and rubbish on ordinary mortals Sad

Cocolepew · 14/11/2015 22:08

I love this

That's going a bit far.

I decided to take a few inches off, just to see whether that would fix the itch for now. I now have layers and a just-longer-than-shoulder-length bob.

Pixie cuts require quite a petite, angular face. I have neither. A choppy bob would be fab though.

Pacific those 2 hair dos are enough to make me run to the hairdressers.
Alas they never fucking look like that on me. Envy

You cut your own hair Shock

I am going to regret saying this, seeing as you are clearly a woman of action, but do it! Do a cute shaggy hair cut thingy. (I really hope you know what you are doing!)

Cocolepew · 14/11/2015 22:14

I have a slightly shorter version of the above atm, I'm trying to cut my dye out.
I have a big ole moon face and I'm gorgeous natch

PacificDogwod · 14/11/2015 22:14

Oh, wow, is that your hair?! Shock

I am in awe

I cut my own hair too, its easy . You should do it too twirlypoo

ThomasRichard · 14/11/2015 22:15

Argh. I so want to see what it would look like but if it looks awful then it's too short to hide with a pony tail.

And the right pixie can be very flattering.

She say, with her hair down her back

ThomasRichard · 14/11/2015 22:16

Ja, it's my hair. It's not the first time I've cut it.

twirlypoo · 14/11/2015 22:18

I cut Ds hair once and, erm, it wasn't a success shall we say. I have also had several threads on here over the years where I've dyed my own hair and it's went a teeny bit wrong. I am totally in awe of those with the hair transforming powers, but alas, I am not in possession of them. And for that reason coco im out.... I would be buying myself a hat otherwise Grin

PacificDogwod · 14/11/2015 22:26

I've cut my own fringe once.
It too was not a success (love the understatement Grin)
I told the hairdresser that DS4(3 at the time) had done it - she laughed and did not believe me. She said that 3yo's may cut their own hair but not their mother's without mum noticing Grin
She had a point there Blush

She fixed it though.

ThomasRichard · 14/11/2015 22:28

So, it's now sitting on my shoulders.

:o Pacific. Once I decided to give myself a haircut but did it the wrong way round so I had very long hair at the front and super-short at the back. I had to grow it out a bit before even attempting a hairdresser visit.

I now have a short bob and a long fringe. It looks pretty good. I might regret it in the morning though. A few minutes ago my hair was halfway down my back.

Oh my God!
Put down the scissors and go to bed!

ThisFenceIsComfy · 14/11/2015 23:01

I cut my own hair too! I love it. Means I can get the length I want rather than someone's interpretation of what I said
