Chop or not *pictures*

I really want to go for the chop but not feeling very brave. I want a short asymmetric bob and have styled a kinda mock do...
So one picture is me, one is a mock do and the pink is kind of how I want it, but not pink.

Honest opinions please... Chop or not?

Go for it! You've got the right sort of bone structure for that cut, so it'll look great on you.

I am excited now. Will be sure to post pictures when it's done. Will try and get in the hairdressers on Wednesday when they do their late night.

Now colour... not sure it can stand any more bleach and it's pretty patchy already so it's dark or stay as it is. Hmmm.

I cut my mid back length hair to an asymetric bob. I remember coming out the salon thinking I looked like a boy and rushing to buy pretty hair accessories! 😂 Once I got over the shock I liked it and got lots of comments about it making me look younger BUT! I realised lots of ladies of a certain age had the same or similar cut. I actually started thinking it made me look like someone trying to look younger. I grew it out.

In this instance I'd go for it, just don't shave one side, have it cut like you styled it. It suits you.

And, there is nothing wrong with your nose, it's a perfectly normal nose!

Well I had bra length hair last year which I cut to a chin length bob after bleaching it and frying it but I looked like Gail Platt and decided I didn't like it.

Now I am thinking it is the colour I didn't like. Blond doesn't suit me.

I dyed it black and for 20inch extensions for a while which I loved for a bit but got bored again.

It has been blonde - red - pink - purple - brown - blond - blue - purple - black in the last two years. I just can't settle on anything!

I think you would suit a dark colour if you fancy a change- something dark and glossy would look good with that style. A brown black colour would work, or a slight purple tone?

ohbigdaddio · 12/03/2018 08:32

Do it! Try it without the undercut/shaved sides first. I think it would really suit you! You don't look 'mumsy' by the way!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 12/03/2018 15:05

You look very young !
I think the cut would suit you well, also agree on the Raven/purple colour.
Can't wait to see it.

Another vote for chop don't shave. It really suits you face and your nose is lovely, nothing wrong with it at all x

Haircutdilemma · 12/03/2018 15:26

Thanks all. Salon doesn't open on Mondays so I need to ring tomorrow for an appointment.

Not. Growing it back will be a drag.

Haircutdilemma · 22/06/2018 15:34

Well its been a long time coming.... I had a holiday and surgery!

But I finally had the chop.

That looks lovely, OP.

shutthedoorbob · 22/06/2018 16:39

When I saw the first pictures I was going to say no to getting it chopped (didn't realise it was an old thread lol) but now I've seen it chopped it looks amazing!

HildaZelda · 22/06/2018 16:40

That looks fabulous. I love it. You definitely made the right decision.

Haircutdilemma · 22/06/2018 19:36

Thanks! Just have to figure out how to blowdry it myself now.
