Just got a new haircut... I think I hate it - please tell me it doesn't look too bad!?

I had long hair which I was beginning to hate I now really miss it and completely love it :( and decided to just go for it and get my hair cut short. I don't think it suits my face and I don't mean for this to sound rude, but do I look 'butch'? Or not mum-like at all? I think I regret it and all my family's opinions really doesn't help!

I think it suits you and looks ace!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/03/2017 15:53

I agree!

BounceBounceSplishSplash · 13/03/2017 15:54

I obviously don't know what you look like with long hair or if it suited you better but looking at this photo - you definitely have the face shape to carry off short hair and it doesn't make you look butch at all (especially with your fab red lippy). It must be a big change so it will take you a day or two to get used to it. I think you look lovely!

PurpleSkies1201 · 13/03/2017 15:54

Really? I know I kind of asked for positive comments, but honestly is the best Grin

I have never had it this short and feel like I did it without even thinking.

Looks great

BellonaBelladonna · 13/03/2017 15:54

It looks amazing.

nancy75 · 13/03/2017 15:54

I do t usually like short hair but you are one of the very few people that it really does look good on!

JoJoSM2 · 13/03/2017 15:56

I think it looks very cute. Edgy rather than butch. I know what you mean about missing your long hair - can be a real shock to the system and short hair can feel less feminine.

Notafish · 13/03/2017 15:56

I think it suits your face shape very much. I hope you get used to it soon.

isupposeitsverynice · 13/03/2017 15:56

Without thinking is the best way to cut all your hair off, in my opinion! Honestly it does look really nice and suits you very well. It is shocking the first time you go very short but I think over the next few days you'll settle into it and start to see what we can see.

Eastwestbestrest · 13/03/2017 15:57

It looks amazing! Very jealous that you can carry it off. You look stunning.

FurryTurnip · 13/03/2017 15:58

I love short hair, and that style looks fab on you. Not remotely butch, you've got a great shaped face and carry it really well. Wear it with pride and confidence!

doctorboo · 13/03/2017 15:58

You look good with short hair better than me

notMarlene · 13/03/2017 15:58

It looks fantastic, you've certainly got a face that can carry off short hair. Absolutely not butch or mumsy in the slightest.

Oblomov17 · 13/03/2017 15:58

Fabulous

honeylou42 · 13/03/2017 15:58

Looks fantastic Smile

Bundesliga · 13/03/2017 15:59

You genuinely do look fab, edgy and smart.

Love it. Wear it with pride.

PurpleSkies1201 · 13/03/2017 16:01

Oh thanks everyone that's really made me more confident about it. I really appreciate the comments. I thought "oh god" in the hairdressers and when I showed my mum she was horrified! I think maybe long hair suited me better but it really did take me far too long and I couldn't stand it anymore!

You look absolutely beautiful, I love it.

Waxlyrically · 13/03/2017 16:02

I think it really suits you too - I would have short hair if I looked like you do with it!

absolutelynotfabulous · 13/03/2017 16:04

I'd love to comment but I can't open the picture! Grrrr.....

slinkysaluki · 13/03/2017 16:28

It looks great, it will take a while to get used to it but it looks ace. I just had mine cut from a bob to an assymetric short do. I was unsure at first but now i like it.

ImLadybird · 13/03/2017 16:35

Stunning

lilyborderterrier · 13/03/2017 16:35

Honestly it looks ace ! You suit it and you can wear it lots of ways, and it can always be grown out again which is a new style in itself. Enjoy it love x

youvegottobekidding · 13/03/2017 16:45

You lucky thing, being able to look as good as that with short hair! You don't look 'butch' at all! It looks cool, edgy. It'll just take a few days to get use too.
