Will a long bob work on my hair?

[Titsywoo]

Finally got an appt for next week - cut and full head of highlights. I've been wanting to go shorter for a while as now I'm in my early 40s my long curly hair is starting to look scruffy/aging hippy-like! I'm ok to straighten it once or twice a week and I need to be able to wear it up so a bob won't work (plus I'm too nervous to go that short!). I'm going to go more blonde this time (not platinum just varied blonde highlights). Anyway here is a pic of me (I'm not naked by the way just wearing a strapless dress ). My hair is naturally curly but not tight curls (sadly!).

A long bob would be lovely! And would compliment your face shape.

It would probably end up curlier. I think it would look good.

Or maybe like this ?

I love this hairstyle!

That's lovely @morriseysquif but too scarey short for me!

Yes it would definitely be curlier when shorter but I think I would straighten it more as it would take so much less time! I love my curls but never feel sleek and stylish with them and would like to sometimes.

I think it would look lovely. Your curls are fab.

Your curls are amazing! Wish mine looked like this
Having said that, a long bob would also suit your face.

Your hair is so beautiful - I wouldn’t cut it.
Sorry, probably not helpful! 😂

Your curls are what I spend ages trying and failing to achieve! Lovely. A long bob might help you feel smarter but it's gorgeous as it is, honestly

I have a long bob and hair which is wavy, but less than yours. Straightening really dries my hair out so I use a babylis big hair to dry and style it without causing too much damage. I say go for it!

Don't cut your hair because of your age. Also embrace your curls whatever age you are!

I wouldn't cut that lovely hair and I love short cuts! Definitely not ageing hippy!

Your curls are lovely. I think a long bob would take some extra weight off your hair and let your curls spring up a bit more which would only be a good thing.

Another unhelpful comment I’m afraid OP: don’t cut it! It’s not ageing or scruffy at all. In fact I’d kill for hair like that [sigh]

It's very pretty hair, I feel it needs a little something more, just a bit of better cut, to make the most of it. But definitely don't cut off a lot. Enhancement rather than drastic change.

Your hair is beautiful and definitely not at all aging hippy! People spend hours faffing with curling implements to get curls like those. Don't cut it
