very short hair cut

31 replies

I'm thinking of giving up on growing my hair again and reverting to the hair cut of my 20's. This is very short, a bit like this page but with the hair shorter up the back. However, I am now 40 and fatter (just started diet as hit 11st 6lbs after a great Christmas and New Year )
Am I making a big mistake? My hair is curly/frizzy and really just impossible, I try to grow it every time I get pregnant and I've never reached a stage where I think it looks good.
I think it will at least look neat if I have it all cut off. Also, I've been having it dyed for the last year - are roots just impossible on short hair?
Any help please, I have appt at hairdressers this Sat where I'm supposed to be having just a trim and colour. Will need to book more time if I'm to be sheared!

bosch, kids are playing up at the moment but will get back and sort out some photos to "give you hope" go for it, just don't go too mad or you will regret it!

Bosch - I assure you, that's all I do with mine! It takes seconds literally. Absolutely no styling/blow drying/straightening/twiddling.

You'll not have child bearing hips then...

oops - my last comment was to cwce who gets mistaken for a bloke from behind! And thanks, I'd love some more photos (though might be brave and print one of Spawns to take to hairdressers too)

Am feeling quite positive now! Thanks all.

Big thanks to everyone, I got sheared today and I look great!!! Well, I look a hell of a lot better than I did yesterday. Short hair has even made my face look thinner, much to my amazement. Didn't get razored though, and shall wait to see how overwhelming roots are on short hair.

Thanks again.
