I'm getting a long awaited, much needed hair cut tomorrow and feel like a change. Any recommendations please that will suit me? I know what I like but am unable to judge what will suit.

Thanks.

PS Have interview Friday so this will be quite timely.

TBH I think your current style really suits your face. Maybe have a trim and some highlights instead.

MamaGryffindor · 10/07/2007 13:22

How about a choppy bob with a pulled-to-the-side fringe? (not heavy fringe)

newlifenewname · 10/07/2007 13:50

I really quite fancy a choppy bob actually - will I look blokish though? Thanks btw. misty

No you won't look bloke-ish

suezee · 10/07/2007 15:52

i think ud look fab with a "posh" bob

newlifenewname · 10/07/2007 16:56

Oooh! Does that mean I can ask for a 'posh' bob or 'pob' with confidence then? I don't particularly want to look like her but I do like her cut!

you could have nice short choppy bob - won't look blokish - very chic

snowwonder · 10/07/2007 17:15

short bob pob ????

choppy bob

DrNortherner · 10/07/2007 17:24

I think your current hair is lovely. Very thick and glossy.

I say just a trim and maybe a few caramel hightlights.

Don't fix it if it's not broke!

newlifenewname · 10/07/2007 18:37

thank you!

So, bob/pob or just a trim.
Am going on 'model night' so will just be the cut for now which is all I can justify forkign out for even at 'model' price!

MamaGryffindor · 10/07/2007 20:14

oh no DON'T ask for a fecking pob! Just say choppy bob

newlifenewname · 10/07/2007 20:16

I was thinking I'd chicken out of using the phrase at the last second probably.

pob is that character that spits isn't he?

MamaGryffindor · 10/07/2007 20:19

lol yes

MamaGryffindor · 10/07/2007 20:20

BAck in teh day, I really wanted JEnnifer Aniston hair

went to hairdressers and instead of just saying that, I spent 10 minutes trying to describe it.

At the end, she said "so, like J A then?"

me - "er...yes"

uberalice · 10/07/2007 20:39

What about keeping the overall length, but with some fairly choppy layers. I just had something similar done and I'm really chuffed with my new look.

Gemy · 10/07/2007 21:35

I really like your current hair. If having a cut I wouldn't go much shorter as I think your length is good (and bet it looks nice with loose curls by way of tongs/GHDs) Sometimes bobs can look a bit boring - I know I have the pob and prefer it now it's longer and more femhinine - but I've kept the longer at front than at back style and really like this still.

Highlights-wise, some shimmery subtle ones that just catch the light would look very nice and sexy (instead of going for the stripy ones)

Hope all goes well!

newlifenewname · 11/07/2007 18:18

I got a bob, pic on profile in next few mins if you want to see it...

OP posts:
doughnuts · 11/07/2007 18:20

was just thinking of your new hair and wondering what you've chosen - will check it out !!

doughnuts · 11/07/2007 18:24

that's lovely - I like the fringy bit too - you have lovely hair and I'm envious !

bundle · 11/07/2007 18:25

newlifenewname, you look lovely

newlifenewname · 11/07/2007 18:26

Thank you doughnuts. I had a very nice time, just sitting down for more than 2 mins was nice.

Need to see your hair - get some pics on your profile! I suspect you are just humouring me

Have just hjad mine cut and am getting used to it - I loved it at first, now slightly regretting it (is short now, from a bob) but that's usual. I always wanted nice dark hair but have instead very fine fairish hair.

mistypeaks · 13/07/2007 19:03

Just to let you know after replying to this I got all excited and booked myself in to hairdressers. Have gone from shoulder length hair to v short spiky crop!!!!
