Having highlights put in but they'll be out in half hour and then I'll need to tell him what to do with my hair. Stuck in a constant cycle of cutting it short and then growing it long. Never really worked out what suits me. Am hopeless at spending any time on it so needs to be low-maintenance.

Here's a photo taken last week that kind of illustrates the problem. Didn't know what to do with it so it was kind of half up, half down, weird sprouty bits at side and back.

Hair is quite fine but thick IYSWIM, and dead straight so gets a bit heavy when it's grown properly long. I suspect not a good look 'cos I'm quite pointy (increasingly so as I get older) so can look a bit winny the witch.

Am a MN regular by the way, just name changing for photo in order not to out myself in RL.

Right, here goes, will try and upload a pic. Thanks in advance for your help people - much appreciated.

That really suits you. I'm not a hair expert by any means but wanted to say your skin is very pretty!

I think it looks lovely and I really love the way it's not bulky behind your ears. Would you be kind enough to post a picture of the back of it. It's exactly what I'm after I think but my hairdresser never quite gets what I'm talking about and leaves too much hair at the back so it's a bit of a helmet effect.

It's a great cut and really suits you.

Outcomesthebunnyofdeath · 16/04/2016 17:53

I think it looks lovely. Good choice!

Nospringflower · 16/04/2016 18:49

Looks great! Glad you went for something different.

Pupsiecola · 16/04/2016 19:05

Really suits you. Makes your eyes pop.

Love it!

ChopOrNot · 16/04/2016 20:49

Lovely.

You're all lovely. Thanks. Getting used to it now, though the 2 glasses of wine may have helped...

lucylocket sorry for the slow response been at a friend's birthday. Turns out it's quite hard to take a selfie of the back on one's head, so DH took one of these. I absolutely know what you mean about the chunky behind the ear thing
