assymetric bob for naturally curly hair - yes or no?

[katzg]

fancy a big change, was debating a bob of some description

come on mumsnet help here

you need to put a pic up, katzg!

just waiting for a mumsnetter whos met me to come and along and comment! hulababy, purpleturtle, pandag come out come out where ever you are!

very bad pic of me on my profile now!

see photo scared you all off!!

oh god it's hideous, get rid of it!

It's a bit hard to tell with the sunnies on, but I think you made need a bit more volume than natalie to balance your face shape, so it could work with more curls, like you said. If you get lots of layers put in, you would avoid the triangular effect. Hang on I saw another piccie somewhere.

pics are good, need to take something with me when i go so i can say i want this please!!!!

thanks for all your help though, you are a star!

off to bed now as laptop battery is about to die and i can't find its charger!

can't find the one I saw earlier, but try looking for pics of meg ryan, like here . I think you could do soemthing like that but assymmetrical, and if you don't go too short, you wont get the triangular effect. I'd def get layers to help avoid that plus it is then so versatile, you can wear it tousled, sleek and straight, or flicked out.

Please bear in mind your face shape.
I have a round face shape and curly hair.
My hair needs to be past my chin at the front or I look like I have a football for a face.

yes

thanks again, i think i want a cross between the natalie and the meg!! will have to talk to hair dresser and see if he understands and then replies you will look like a bush!

Hiya Katz,

I've had my hair cut how you describe - shorter at the back, longer at the front, and my hair is curly too. If your hair is naturally curly it's easy enough to style, I've got some Tigi Curls Rock stuff I put on it and that's it (don't own hair dryer, straighteners etc).

I'll be seeing you at the Mile for Maude walk in a couple of weeks, so if you can wait until then you can see what you think!

thanks MrsW - i have my appointment booked for the sat before the mile for Maude! so will be asking for hints and tips on the whole curly short hair front!

Cool, by the sound of it we'll have matching hair dos then!

the photo shows my hair after being scraped back into a pony tail and then released!!! its is quiet curly and i have loads of those short ariel type things at the roots!

You know you want to be careful asking for advice on the whole 'short curly hair' thing

Annimac is right on the hairdo name - I have ringletty hair and my cut was v v short (ie nothing) at the back but round my face at the very front (does that make sense?!). I think the trick is to have it very choppy, layered, so that it's easily messed up with a bit of curling product - and then you truly can scrunch it up and leave it. I like the frizz ease stuff, esp the spray in styler (dream curls or something - leaves hair soft rather than scrunchy). I'd post a pic, but am too chicken!

Hope you get a cut you like anyway

i'd love a pic - any chance you would email me one? or anyone else with fab short curly hair?

I saw someone with what you are describing today up the school, I was so tempted to ask her if I could take a pic! She had curls like meg ryan, but a graduated bob like you want. It was cropped quite short at the back of her next, and about jaw length at the front. It looked nice!

softer bob yes but a really asymetric one needs straight hair i think.

I have some very bad memories of things hairdressers did in the 80s along these lines. shudder

I'll see if I can get DH to take a picture Katz so I can email it to you.

The woman who cuts my hair did this fancy thing, twisting the hair and cuttting into it lightly, to take some weight out of it without making it look too triangular. I wanted layers but she said I'd end up with a mushroom-shaped hair style.
