New hair

[MozzchopsThirty]

Am 43, blonde, my hair was thin anyway but it's now wrecked from straightening too much 🤦🏼‍♀️
Last time I went to my hairdresser he said he'd never seen anything like it as it had completely broken off in sections

He cut it as best he could into a Bob, same length all round as I was trying to grow it into a long bob (kind of like Holly's)

But it's just not doing anything and I think I need it cut into a style and go a bit shorter in the hope it'll be healthier

Anyway what do you all think of these?

And a few more

I'm trying to post a pic of my hair now but it says I can only upload 6
I've only done 5!

Could you go even shorter (pixie) to really give your hair a chance to grow back stronger? If not, the last picture looks good but the model’s hair is in amazing condition.

If your hair is thin will it hang the same as some of these pictures? I like the Lauren Conrad one, but her hair looks very thick.

I like the 3rd one in the first pics
That's quite a lot shorter than my hair

Those girls all have very thick hair, fine hair won't hang the Saenz

**same

So what are my options?

I have a long bob which is curled most of the time making it shorter, and my hair is quite fine. It still looks fine in the shorter style and I hoped it would look thicker. Also it's sooooo hard to curl short hair. I underestimated how long it would take me to get ready each day. Solid half an hour on my hair needed now.

But the 3rd pic I like her hair doesn't look thick

I like them all. You could always use thickening shampoo etc. Try and see if it works and then go even shorter if not.

All those looks will require a lot of blow drying and styling every day.

Definitely don't go to a pixie, you will be cursing for months and months trying to grow it.
Just keep going for teeny tiny trims, use lots of conditioner and no heat!

Thing is if your hair is wrecked from straightening won’t you still have to use straighteners or curlers and therefore more heat damage?

I have to wash my hair everyday anyway
But I now only straighten it once or twice a week rather than daily
I'm using a heat protectant spray
I've bought a new hairdryer (as I noticed my old one had gotten so hot that the barrel melted )
And two new brushes
So I'm doing what I can

I don't think I'd be brave enough for a pixie but I definitely need it cutting
