Short hair love!

For far too long I've have mid to long hair which was wavy and a bit dry/greasy. Could never be bothered to do much so it either looked like a dead animal or was straightened to death. Very thick too. Booked an appointment on impulse and got a short bob. Absolutely love it and am already planning potentially more edgy next time with an undercut. Why did I not do this years ago! Short hair is so much more interesting. Anyone else taken the plunge and feel like it's really upped their game?

And I actually love this look but probably I'm not beautiful Enouih to pull it off

I had this for a few years. I am considering going back to it. But I was slimmer and I worry it’s a bit dated. But it did make me feel amazing.

I am losing weight so maybe will go short again when my face is less round. I am also growing out my grey hair so am planning going on short around April next year to cut out the last of the colour.

Short hair love!

It's all about texture with short hair. My hair is curly and frizzy. As I've got older hormones have definitely affected the curl. You are lucky you can have shorter hair. I'd love to but having more length is flattering for me.

@Mercurial123 I think it's more about realising what is me. I so wanted to embrace long hair but it just doesn't work.

I recently moved towns and it’s taken me ages to find a good hairdresser. My hair got long for me - it was well over my ears - and the relief when I finally found somebody to cut it properly short was amazing! I feel like myself again

Got mine chopped off. Had bum length, thick curly hair for years. Went to shoulder length and then on a whim got it shaved to a number 2 back and sides and 3" long on top. I wear it curly or use putty to have it smart. I'm also loving hats and scarves now. Can now see my ear

Pressed part too soon! Ear furniture.

I had mine cut short a couple of months ago - I've finally found a hairdresser I'm really happy with. I've had it short a few years ago but was never really happy with the style. This time I can't see me growing it out again. I'm crap with styling hair and find short so much easier once you get a really good cut.

I shaved mine the other day 😳

I go to the barber now. Much quicker and cheaper and can walk in.
