Have booked in for a big haircut/restyle tomorrow. Come look at photos and advise please.

[NeedANewHairCut]

Ok, am a 40yo frump. Photo of me included.

Have booked in at hairdressers tomorrow for a pixi cut. Hair is currently past boobs. Really thick. I wear it tied back in a high pony tail all the time and need to do something as it's so boring.

So really cropped? A bit bouffant? Something in between? Or cancel the appt?

These are nice, if fll on Jean Seberg hair is too much for a first cut.
None if these women are elvin and look great.

OP - no!

It won't suit you.

Yes, it grows back but during that time you are stuck with a hideous in between haircut nobody in their right minds would want. I have been there!

A bob - short or long - won't go Lego if it is cut correctly. The secret is an undercut or layers, or both. I have really thick wavy hair and I've had lovely sleek bobs.

Chin length bob would be my recommendation. With a fringe so you can mess it all around and have fun styling it.

Good luck

Going against the grain but I think you should do it. I think it'll suit you

Blatantly placemarking for pics from OP. I think a messy bob with long fringe would look great.

Still undecided and 5 hours till the appt!

Currently watching Fleabag, really don't like her hair.

Dh very keen for me to have a pixie cut. Said something about if I don't how he will "have to put up with my long hair"

Not sure it would suit you or me but I have serious envy of Robin wright (house of cards) hair atm.

I say short . Go for it from me !!

This ish?

Honesty i don't think it will suit your face shape.

Do it. Do it

I've had a longish, messy bob before and because my hair is so thick and impossible to tame it just kind of went triangular and I looked like a Playmobil person

You have exactly the same type of hair as me OP.

I've had a pixie cut, bob, the 'Rachel', you name it...

What I have learnt is that I should never have hair shorter than my shoulders. It's so 'sproingy' it needs the weight to keep it hanging properly.

A pixie cut with your hair will need loads of styling and regular trims to stop it looking lego-ish. It'll end up more high maintenance than your current style. Also, growing it out will be an absolute mare. It's not a style you can reverse easily.

If you're bored and want a change, have a fringe cut in. Much easier to grow out when you're bored of it.

Just don't.

Just spent ages trying to curl my hair with a wand. Loads of hairspray and it just doesn't work. I think I have impossible to style hair! Looks no bloody different.

It is seriously lovely hair. Do not go too short when you have hair like that.

Your hair looks great on that pic. Leave it like it is!!

Step away from the scissors..

The curled style looks lovely.

I think you should go for it, and I speak as someone who's done it, liked it and now grown a bit again and changed colour. It's only hair!

As your hair is curly, I like pnutter's pic.

It will be fun to have a change, if you hate it you can grow it and you don't like your hair now anyway...

The picture pnutter posted is lovely.

There's a big difference between a hairstyle being lovely in itself and a hairstyle being lovely on a particular person.

Come back OP and let us know your thoughts.

Have you decided yet?

Hope all went well OP! Can't wait to see your new do!

Did it

Are you pleased? I think it rocks!
