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?

I had this once - it was GREAT.

I loved people looking at it with their heads on one sides trying to work out if it was supposed to be asymetric.

Did need cutting a lot though. V unforgiving.

Do it!

hey yooooooou!

you know what i'd say and it's yeah baby ALL THE WAY!

your hair is gorgeous..shiny and lush etc but i know what you mean about getting bored.

even if it was asymetric for a while, it wouldnt take long for it to grow enough to rebalance it.

recently i had one side longer than the other(as usual) AND a wonky fringe. for the record that DID NOT work!

I think you have enough style to carry it off and if you don't like it it'll be easy enough to fix.

I was a little concerned that there would be tumbleweed when I posted the pic, but it's nice to see we're all of a generation!

oh mmj close up of bad teeth - not good. What were they thinking of?

I think an asymmetrical bob could be good, not quite so drastic a difference in length on each side, but then it has to be enough to look intentional, not just wonky cutting IYSWIM. But you know I think your hair suits you the way it is, looks great. Leave it ... leave it...

We are showing our age here girls, don't you think?

I can't do it, I might end up looking mad, can't risk it.
Tattoo it is then.
That a a less subtle hair colour.

Tell your hairdresser your ideas/show her your pic and let her/him come up with something.

I did that last week and like what my stylist did

Fimbo - yeah but it wouldn't be over my face that's just done for the picture, but that kind of thing, but I'd want to see where I was going!
