Just that really. Don't think husband likes it either and daughter cried when she saw me. Is it that bad?

Love it. You look great.
I recently did the same…just a couple of weeks ago. I had short hair when we went into the first lockdown. I hadn’t had a cut since then so it was past my shoulders with a natural centre parting. I had a soft fringe cut in and it frames my face so much better. I’m 47 too.

I really like it. I’m surprised an 11 year old would cry about their mums change of hairstyle lol.

Yeah - me too! On reflection, she's sleep deprived after Scout camp last night so perhaps over emotional!🤣

I like it. Wish my blunt fringe sat half as nice as yours.

ilovelamp2 · 26/11/2022 22:54

Feel so much better! Wish I had turned to you lovely lot earlier. I have a rare evening of solitude in the house and I've wasted it washing/drying/pinning hair and fretting! 🙈

Came on here ready to be ruthless but it looks great!

Wineat5isfine · 26/11/2022 23:01

I think you look lovely and your fringe looks awesome!

userxx · 26/11/2022 23:06

It looks fab.

cutiemcsweetie · 26/11/2022 23:08

Kids really humble us differently 😂 it looks lovely, just a change that people get used to, like when someone who always wear glasses takes them off! It will grow on you all or grow out! Xx

Kassalah · 26/11/2022 23:08

You look gorgeous! I'd love to have a fringe like that. Daughter crying, seriously? That's weird. Enjoy your new look x

I'm on Scotland and the first dental appointment I could get for a check up (which is well overdue) for the kids is February!

I waited a week and half for a blood test for anaemia

CornedBeef451 · 26/11/2022 23:09

I mis read that as fridge as I really don't like my fridge. It did make me wonder how bad it could be if it made a child cry though.

Fringe looks good, everyone will get used to it.

Calmdown14 · 26/11/2022 23:09

Sorry, wrong thread!

Fringe looks nice!

Janieread · 26/11/2022 23:10

Your daughter cried??!?

Does she have a phobia of Sara Cox?

Trees6 · 26/11/2022 23:10

I was expecting Joan of Arc! Your fringe is great. I’m sure your daughter is just overtired.

Trees6 · 26/11/2022 23:11

I was also thinking Sara Cox!

curlymom · 26/11/2022 23:11

I like it. If you like it it’s ok. Family will get used to it

ilovelamp2 · 26/11/2022 23:11

Phew! I'm going to let it grow on me - and those 2! If it doesn't it will grow out as you wise lot have pointed out. Yes- weird reaction from daughter - wasn't expecting that! She barely notices I'm there these days! Kids eh? 🤷🤣

That's a great fringe. Hangs really nice.

ArcaneWireless · 26/11/2022 23:13

It looks lovely. They can be a big change and take a wee minute to get used to.

There isn’t a fringe long enough to hide my facial sins.😉

TheSausageKingofChicago · 26/11/2022 23:13

That’s a cool fringe. I remember when I had one cut in, a few years ago, and it felt very strange and drastic, but it really wasn’t. It just took some getting used to. You look good.

WillYouDoTheFandango · 26/11/2022 23:14

It looks really lovely. My son is always a bit freaked out when I change my hair. Sure your daughter will get used to it.

ilovelamp2 · 26/11/2022 23:14

I'm loving the Sara Cox comments - can easily live with that! And at least the fridge is OK! Hilarious 😂

Angelofthenortheast · 26/11/2022 23:15

It looks so good though!!

ticktickticktickBOOM · 26/11/2022 23:16

It looks incredibly normal and nondescript. Just a plain fringe on a plain choppy bob.
