To cut, or not? (Hair, with pics)

I've recently grown my hair out from v short, to kind of between chin and shoulder length.

I can't decide whether to cut it again, as I am always tying it back because it bothers me.

I've name changed in order to post actual pictures!

So, stay longer or cut short again? 🤔

I am knocking on a bit now and am not very slender, I do worry that short suits the gamine, bony type more.

Grow 🙂

I like the top right hand photo with the hair coming over your face. It softens the look. Don't like it short at all but then I am a fan of long hair although mine is currently tied up :)

theriseandfallofFranklinSaint · 14/11/2023 20:42

Definitely keep it longer, it looks great!

Mamato29192 · 14/11/2023 20:42

Keep it how it is. Looks lovely 😊

Rosiem2808 · 14/11/2023 20:43

Oh I see... I was commenting on the first set of pics. Your hair will look nice whatever you do. You are not knocking on......

Longer, you look more youthful.

Meredusoleil · 14/11/2023 20:44

Top right or bottom right from first set of pics.

Meredusoleil · 14/11/2023 20:45

Top right from second set if pics is too short imho. So bottom right or left if you want it shorter, which I think I prefer.

Reba767 · 14/11/2023 20:45

I like the photo with the red lanyard which looks like you have an updo but realise now it's a short cut! Like someone said it's softer than the other short pics.
You're very pretty X

HappyMe6 · 14/11/2023 20:47

Longer defo! You are not clocking on a bit!

CharlotteStreetW1 · 14/11/2023 20:47

Not sure about the second set. It suits you longer I think. What about something like this?

I prefer it longer. I think it’s a softer look.

Doggymummar · 14/11/2023 20:50

It's at that horrible in-between length, mine is the EXACT same, gaf it in a pony tail today as WFH and it looks fine on zoom. Irl it looks stupid. I'm booked in for 12in extensions as I can't wait it out.

SwedishEdith · 14/11/2023 20:52

Longer with the flowery top suits you best. I don't know if just your expression in the photos but the shorter hair makes you look more severe.

Hb12 · 14/11/2023 20:52

I've attached a couple of more un made up pics from the last couple of months.

Oh, and any tips for getting rid of puffy eye bags much appreciated!

I think longer looks better, it’s definitely more versatile and you can wear it up if you want it off your face.

The inbetweeny phase is brutal but worth going through.

I’ve cut my long hair short twice in the last 10 years and both times, have got fed up and grown it again. I’m nearly 50 but sticking with long now! Short takes much more effort and styling in my experience.

You look fab by the way, you have a lovely face.
