Can I get away with this short haircut?

I'm utter bored of my hair, it's fairly fine and the ends are in really bad condition! So that's me taking the dodgy selfie in the pink top, I really fancy the short hairdo attached but I'm worried that because I don't have delicate features like the model I'll look stupid? I can trust MN to be honest with me Grin

Looks great OP. So much better. Good call!

You are beautiful and your hair look healthy .I would recommend go to more longer asymmertical bob like hairstylezz.com/best-asymmetrical-short-long-bob-hairstyles/ and more bright brown color with highligts or even balayage.

When I have been itching to chop my hair and I went in, the stylist was awesome! She didn't cut off much length, but the way she layered it made it look so much fuller, add color I can still do a ponytail, but My hair feels lighter and healthy.

Wow, love it! I'm trying to pluck up the courage to go for a shorter style, but I have thick curly/wavy hair so I've always stuck to shoulder-length or longer. Going to trawl through a few ideas now while I eat my lunch!

Wow you look great - I thought it was a pic of the model from the first image you put up. You really rock it - enjoy

MurunB · 19/10/2016 19:44

It looks lovely! It makes you look all elfin and cheekboney.

Loyly · 19/10/2016 19:48

You look wonderful!

You look beautiful and you will be look great with shorter hair also. But why do so pixie cut? I miss my long hair. I got it it cut at the end of Sept and wish I wouldn't have. I am just letting it grow again, but it is hard to wait.
More bright color of your hair will attract more attention to themselves and to your face - I personally like this hairstylezz.com/best-medium-brown-hair-color-ideas/13/
Try dark brown shade with highlights or even balayage .

That looks amazing OP! I've been growing my hair but am now seriously tempted to do the same as you.

Branleuse · 20/10/2016 11:16

You look fabulous

Hair85 · 20/10/2016 20:15

Oh wow thank you very much Blush My body image has taken a bit of a bashing recently so this has really lifted me up! Taybert I'll get DH to take a picture tomorrow as my hair is a greasy mess tonight!

You look great- so much younger Halo

Dontyouknow2016 · 21/10/2016 07:17

It looks amazing, you look totally different and yes younger.

longdiling · 21/10/2016 07:23

Wow, that's gorgeous! You look great. I want my hair cut now though, damn you.

Fibbertigibbet · 21/10/2016 10:14

It suits you so much! You look great!

Dowser · 21/10/2016 11:14

It's one of the best transformations I've seen on here.

zippyswife · 21/10/2016 11:38

Agree dowser. It's actually really sad but I'm waiting to see the other pics later today!! Wish I could transform myself like that!

Hair85 · 21/10/2016 21:11

The best I could get of the back! 'Scuse the dodgy pjs! Grin

That's great thanks. Are you finding it easy to style?

Hair85 · 22/10/2016 10:49

It's not too bad, although I'm tempted to get one of those heated brush thingies because I'm a bit rubbish at doing the back with my hairdryer and round brush!

I've got a "big hair" which I basically just use to curl my ends under. It has never managed to make my hair big anyway!
