Have I made a mistake cutting my hair?

I've had long hair since my mid teens but since having kids it's got thinner and thinner so decided to have a good chop. I'm not sure if I've done the right thing! Does it look any better for it? I feel like a school girl with a bob! Ignore awful editing attempt at hiding my face!

I think it looks better shorter. It looks nice.

Maybeicanhelpyou · 12/03/2024 21:45

I like it,

Hedgerow2 · 12/03/2024 21:46

Looks much nicer shorter!

I think you could go shorter, it looks a bit half-hearted. Chin length would look chic!

DrJoanAllenby · 12/03/2024 21:48

It's not much of a difference!

I looks fuller with the ends lopped off.

TotallyFloored · 12/03/2024 22:08

Thousand times better short ! 💕

Outlookmainlyfair · 12/03/2024 22:09

Better shorter!

MichaelAndEagle · 12/03/2024 22:11

I agree, you could go shorter!
It looks great, and if you really don't like it, it'll soon grow 😊

eatingsugarlies · 13/03/2024 16:31

Ahh thank you everyone! I think I was having a bit of a wobble about it!

That's only a couple of inches off. It makes no difference at all to how you look.

Causewerethespecialtwo · 13/03/2024 16:39

I like it much better shorter - it looks thicker and healthier.

Pigeonqueen · 13/03/2024 16:41

It looks almost exactly the same 😁 - I was expecting something much more drastic! It looks lovely.

UpsideLeft · 13/03/2024 17:36

I like them both

eatdrinkandbemerry · 13/03/2024 17:37

Looks healthy and lush now it's shorter

DuchessOfSausage · 13/03/2024 17:54

Both look great. Shorter one looks thicker.

Squirrel125 · 13/03/2024 17:59

It looks nice! I think you're so used to it being long that you feel like you've had a really dramatic chop. But actually it does still look quite long to everyone else! Agree with a pp that it looks thicker now too.

meandjet · 13/03/2024 18:07

Both look good

Geebray · 13/03/2024 18:09

Yes, I would go shorter too, like some PPs suggested. That length is neither here nor there.

Runkle · 13/03/2024 18:23

It looks much healthier shorter

Sususudio · 13/03/2024 18:24

Much better shorter, and I think you can take another inch off. Nice colour.

BebbanburgIsMine · 13/03/2024 19:10

Your hair looks lovely OP

I'm a huge lover of long hair, but the shorter length looks beautiful on you

iprobablyshoulddo · 13/03/2024 19:26

Much nicer shorter

SPSN · 13/03/2024 19:53

It looks so much healthier shorter and it's still quite long. Lovely.

Thepossibility · 13/03/2024 19:58

I think it would look even better a bit shorter.

Snugglemonkey · 13/03/2024 21:51

Did you cut it to make it look healthier but want to keep the length? I'd so, it does that and looks good.

Did your ot because you fancy a shorter style? It looks good, but it is not short enough to go for that.

It is lovely, shiny and healthy looking.
