Shall I go for a bob that is short on one side and longer on the other?

Bored, bored bored bored bored, BORED!

I have a bob now - see profile pics if you want, and it's long at the front, short at the back. It's nice, I like, but fancy a change.

So - having a colour (have some grey sneaking in) and it's going to be subtle lowlights underneath in a kind of reddy / purpley colour.

But the cut - I thought, maybe I might try the sort of bob that on one side ends at just under my ear lobe and the other side ends about 6 inches from my ear lobe.

What do you reckon?

would it be like a pob?

Is that style not kind of 80's? I like it as it is now but can appreciate the boredom factor.

Is your dp Scottish?

A woman I know has this, it looks like she holds her head at an angle.

my hairdresser is always on at me to have this

i say no

Littleface · 15/07/2008 21:19

I had almost exactly as you describe a few years back, looked great but has to be cut all the time. The longer between cuts the worse it looks

Fimbo · 15/07/2008 21:19

Our regional news reporter has that style and well let just say her clothes are not exactly high fashion.

BirdyArms · 15/07/2008 21:21

I was going to say no way but having looked at your pictures I think that you are one of the few people that could carry it off!

lilyloo · 15/07/2008 21:21

What about a graduating cut up to the nape of your neck ? Longer at front ?

lilyloo -yeah I have that cut now. Had it for ages, hence the need for change.

The fact I'm asking shows I'm unsure, never asked opinions before.

Just need a change.

Maybe I'll get a tattoo instead?
