Do I chop it off?!

I have had long hair for years and years. I've just booked a hair appointment for the first time in about three years and I fancy something different.

I am really fat. Really really overweight. So I feel like short hair makes my face look rounder/fatter BUT with my long thin hair I also feel like I look like a bit of a slob as well. My hair is thin and the ends are terrible. I really wish I could go into a hairdressers and tell them to do what they want - something that will make me look amazing but they all stare blankly and say 'it's up to you'. So I get two inches off and go about my day. I want something different this time!

I've just been trying dresses on so my daughter took a pic of me - I don't generally have any pics of me so this is probably the best I can do.

OP - your haircut looks fantastic 🥰

Your new do looks fantastic, combined with your great dress sense, you are smashing it 😊

I feel like a long bob would look nice on you, ie cut your hair to just past your collarbone. I think either a blunt cut or layers would look good in that style too.

Love it! Looks really thick and healthy too.

Love it!

Agree go back and get some caramel low lights and ask the hairdresser to show you how to wave it so you have options Smile

Gorgeous! I bet you’re chuffed to bits with it 😊

Your hair looks great!

I'm late to this thread but I love the new haircut, it looks polished and intentional, and I love the dress in your OP as well; maybe you could look for some similar dresses/ tops to give you an everyday boost as well, as that style is so flattering on you.

Yes your new haircut looks fab I really like it and it's an improvement

Very nice hair, you’ve made the right decision and please can I ask where you got the lilac dress from?

Vthirtyone · 06/07/2022 23:02

You look absolutely lovely with your new do. A new woman!
