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

[Hb12]

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? 🤔

You have a lovely face op

Longer!!

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

@Hb12

Good lighting. Honestly everyone has them if the lighting is unflattering. Even very young people. Your's aren't bad at all.

I prefer it longer, but I prefer the brown to the blonde.

Longer and blonder!

I prefer your look with the chin length bob, it suits you. If you find it gets in your way then perhaps try a barrette to pull back the top when you need to. I think the short cut was not the right one for you, it was a bit too boyish on the sides.

I would cut it. You have lovely eyes, and the shorter hair makes them stand out.

longer - I love the first pic with your lipstick and lovely top you look stunning @Hb12

You are a very lovely looking person. The short hair doesn’t suit you as much as the blonde bob - I thought that was a completely different person!

Well you have v nice freckles ! You have a pretty face Op, and either haircut works, but I like the chin length on you, I think the golden blonde really suits you. I think going short again if you want to, it would work to have a slightly more tousled texture and some blondeness through it, or gold.

You look nice with both.

in the first set of photos there’s differences in the lighting, angle and outfit/styling which would contribute to why the photo with shorter hair looks better than the rest! You do really pull it off there.

however I would equally say that the other length is sort of an awkward/growing out length? So you might like the length more if it was styled in a way you like, or if it was longer. It might be worth letting it grow out, seeing if you like it, and then if not committing to the cut

Longer. Not a fan of the very short hair.

For eye bags/puffiness try jade rollering lymphatic drainage. Worth a go.

Thanks for the opinions all! I shall sit on the decision for a while I think… 🤔

The short hair is a bit harsh on you particularly the top right hand picture, as a previous poster said you look a completely different person to the lovely first picture with the lipstick! you look so much more modern and youthful with longer hair, the short hair looks a bit newsreader circa 1997.

I like the longer, but with a bit more shape, like this.The brown is softer on you, so younger, but I'd still slice some cloner in underneath.

Puffy eyes, look at lymph drainage.

@Hb12 the very last photo is the best!

if my eye bags were like yours (non existent!!) I'd be thrilled. Mine have decreased since I started using eye drops. No idea why, makes no sense to me, but I'm not asking too many questions!!

Keep it longer/just above shoulders. DON'T cut it off. Looks much better a bit longer. No keen on it short at all!

I think you look gorgeous either way. So it's down to how you feel about it. If it really bothers you when it's longer cut it.

Longer and blonde suits you best

I like it at the chin length, maybe a little bit longer, and also you have lovely skin!

Grow it longer. You've a beautiful face.

Grow it, have a different shape (the bob isn't flattering)

I prefer short 🤷

The bottom right pic is 😍I love the color and style. But even a longer "short cut" like a pp posted would look fab. you really rock the short hair - I'm jealous!

Longer! Really suits you and makes you look more youthful. I think the very short cut ages you unfortunately
