What to do with my hair! With pics.

Long story short, used to have a pixie cut, has grown out over Covid. Naturally very grey from original medium brown. (Currently a touch of purple from school thing.)

Now moderately long for me, but very dull. Spend most of my time with top clipped up.

Can't decide whether to cut again? Have an appointment for cut/colour at weekend.

Was also thinking of stripping original colour ready for appointment?

These pics are today.

You’ve got lovely colouring - have you considered a coppery red colour it would really suit your eyes / skin tone? I think the current colour is too cool and isn’t maximising your looks.

I love the pixie on you! It really suits you and I think makes you look younger and fresher.

Paripale · 08/07/2021 17:12

I think an Emma Stone type look would look gorgeous on you.

Love your hair and colour when you are carrying baby

Cosmos123 · 08/07/2021 17:21

Agree the hairstyle where you are carrying baby suits you best.

The pixie cut looks amazing on you! Really youthful and shows off your lovely freckles. The suggestion of red is a good un!

thisplaceisweird · 08/07/2021 17:28

Oh no I don't agree with PPs, your current length is much nicer, you just need a richer colour and bolder eyebrows

Agreed! I like the style too so the pixie type cut isn’t my choice. Your freckles are beautiful.

Go short again. You've got a really nice face and I think the longer hair hides it. You look more striking with short hair (in my opinion)

Rioja81 · 08/07/2021 18:13

Thank you for the opinions everyone. The other option would be to keep some length and have a fringe cut in for shape/style?

You are so lucky you look gorgeous with short pixi cut ! Do it and red would look great x

SirVixofVixHall · 08/07/2021 18:16

I love the pixie cut. As pps have said you have a lovely face with beautiful eye colour and gorgeous freckles, and a pixie cut really suits you.

yourestandingonmyneck · 08/07/2021 18:23

I love it short. Really suits you, and much more striking.

Colour I have no idea, I'm not good with colour Sad

scottmichael · 08/07/2021 18:27

Keep some length and a copper colour would look lovely on you.

scottmichael · 08/07/2021 18:29

I wouldn't strip it or anything, just let them do it! Let us know what you go for.

Rioja81 · 08/07/2021 18:48

I am worried about stripping it tbh, I don't want to damage it. But equally I don't know how much they can work around what's there...🤔😬

It has been blonder before, and has also been au natrel 😂

I'm not averse to taking risks with it, and it has been everything from proper clippered up the sides to undercut to all sorts. It grows pretty quickly. I just can't decide whether to stick with the length for a bit, but I feel so 'style-less' like this 🤔

I like the length on you OP. Just needs a bit more of a shape.

KirstenBlest · 08/07/2021 18:56

Short suits you best.

Rioja81 · 08/07/2021 18:57

Funnily enough I had wondered about this sort of colour

I like the photo that shows your forehead which is especially pretty .

catfunk · 08/07/2021 19:20

Love the pixie on you!

Pancakeorcrepe · 08/07/2021 19:37

Short really really suits you! Looks great! Wish I could pull that off

TSSDNCOP · 08/07/2021 19:58

I'm at EXACTLY the same point as you having gone from a pixie. I'm going all the way to a choppy bob, once you're past the ears you're nearly there.

I'm concentrating on the colour to get me through this stage which is blonde highlights with an ash brown woven through.

Makes it look interesting even though it's a bit of a shocker style.

I live the Emma Stone colour and think it would suit you. At this stage DO NOT get a fringe.

Meet me here again in September to compare progress!
