I really want to get my hair cut short. I’ve been informed that the haircut I want is ‘a Karen style’ so am looking for something a bit more stylish.

I have fine dirty blonde hair, and am looking for something no longer than shoulder length.

That’s lovely OP get that. Fuck whoever it is giving you crap advice.

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 12:13

That's just my suggestion not the OP's hairstyle!

AppleKatie · 28/07/2021 12:52

😂Ah sorry my mistake.

MoltonSilver · 28/07/2021 13:00

I don't think that actually is what they call a 'Karen' haircut.

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 13:03

It a suggestion of something other than a "Karen"!

I'm starting to get confused myself now Grin

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 13:04

@Bookaholic73 what do you think?

Birkie248 · 28/07/2021 13:32

That’s not a ‘Karen’ style! That’s a short wavy Bob (and it’s lovely!)
Get that cut if you want it.

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 13:43

I give up.

ShowMeHow · 28/07/2021 13:44

🤪😂

ShowMeHow · 28/07/2021 13:45

Excellent suggestion Jane
Any other ideas?

JaneJeffer · 28/07/2021 13:53

Why thank you Show Grin

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 28/07/2021 13:56

OP, what style do you want? You should tell who ever said it was a Karen style to fuck off.

Galassia · 28/07/2021 14:27

That is a nice style but I find the tousled look isn’t as easy to style as it looks and requires a lot of product and styling time.

I am of similar description to you OP and I have a blunt cut just sitting on my shoulders. It looks a lot neater and modern than when I had grown it longer in lockdown.
I have had an inverted bob (what I think is referred to as a Karen haircut, urgh) in the past, and it is very flattering and I got a lot of positive comments about it. However you need regular trims to keep the shape and I cba with that.
