OK Pic in profile. Not a very good one but it will have to do.
I like my hair short. So i challenge MNers to find me a new style!
TIA

How about keeping it shortish becasue you suit it but growing your fringe down a bit wearing it to the side?

Thanks.
What colour highlights?
Fringe idea sounds good.

Needs to be very easy style to do.

what about something like This? but it looks like you need to grow your sides abit?

wurlywurly · 15/03/2007 20:00

I would go for warming colours just a few tones lighter then you already are wouldnt go brassy blonde ones think it would look too harsh,

SpagblogisaClusterfuck · 15/03/2007 20:01

Oh yes, an asymmetric fringe. How about flicky bits at the sides too?

Furball I would probably get annoyed with the hair over my ear and tack it behind my ears!

This is great

Furball · 15/03/2007 20:08

Shorter?

ScottishThistle · 15/03/2007 20:10

Those styles require a lot of styling, believe me I've had 100 styles.

Do you have time for your hair every day?

I'd keep it sharp but grow an asymetric fringe with slightly wispy bits on your neck.

I like what the rabbit has got

Furball · 15/03/2007 20:13

This is also good

They are both the same pic aren't they?

No i don't really have a lot of time to style it. I was wondering about going shorter maybe?

what about this BUT slightly less spiky on top, and a bit more 'flicky' at the back and sides?

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/03/2007 20:14

ROFL at cali!!!!

How about total hair colour change.

I like that one that furball linked to - colour and all.

PMSL Califrau! I asked for that didn't i!

I quite like that last one Furball.

See, I dont think a fringed style would look so great because your face shape is a long oval, which is lovely, but you dont have a long forehead.

So, you need an off-the-face style to balance it.

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/03/2007 20:17

now this is FAB

ScottishThistle · 15/03/2007 20:20

That is FAB but you'd defo need some highlights too!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 15/03/2007 20:23

look at this - and the colour too

I'm not sure about that one. The picture doesn't show it that well.
Lots of good idea so far...
