Haircut ideas, please!

[Starfish83]

Hi everyone,

My hair is long (halfway between shoulder and elbow), straight, blonde and all one length except for a fringe. I've been thinking about having it chopped off for a while now. I have a toddler and a baby on the way and being able to get in the shower for five minutes alone in the morning is bliss! I'd really love to be able to soak my hair every morning as opposed to dodging the shower head to keep my mum bun dry.

I've seen people post who think long hair maintenance with small children is much easier than short hair, but I feel like I'm just pulling my hair back every day at the moment.

I'm not sure that I'm ready for a very, very short style yet...but would love some ideas and pictures of cuts for inspiration, plus thoughts from those who had the chop and love it?! I'd like to keep my fringe and my hair ultimately suits precision cuts best...

Thanks so much! x

A short precision cut is going to mean 4-6 weekly cuts, do you have time for that?

MmeBufo, thanks for the question - I'm lucky in that I have a brilliant hairdresser in the family who can come to my house, so yes.

What about a long inverted bob?

I have gone back to a pixie (again) and love it.

BUT....Short hair needs washing and styling every day or it looks shit. I look like Worzel Gummage first thing. A lot of the back is vertical.

Yes, it doesn't take long, but it does need doing.

Friend of mine did the chop when she was pg and afterwards said 'why didn't you tell me!?!?'

so i'm telling you

Oh fantastic! A bob is a massive faff to style so unless you're thinking of staying longer than that then how about something like these?

Yy short hair needs 'doing' every day it's less faff than a bob but much more faff than actual long hair

Thanks so much for the comments, advice and ideas so far. Anyone else have any thoughts or styles? 😀

Look on Pinterest. I find all my ideas there, so many options to look for.

Thanks Molly, will have a look at Pinterest. x
