Appointment is tomorrow and i am still undecided and starting to panic.
I am torn between keeping it long and having feathering recut round the front and having an inverted long bob maybe something similar to this without fringe ??????
I am driving myself and Furball madas she has tried helping me find some styles but i dont know ahhhhhhhhhhh.
By the way i never go out with my hair up because i hate my ears but in the house it is usually tied up.
Also my hair has a tendency to frizz as soon as i set foot out of the house.

Pfnm: I compulsively change my hair, and it is annoying when one is growing it back. However, as long as you get it trimmed every two months you can stll keep it looking nice as it grows.

Looking at your picture, you'd look great wth a flicky pixie cut imo.

Gowaaarn: do it while you're young enough to get away with t. It'll grow back...

(Disclaimer: I am a bit pissed, and therefore can take no responsibility if you decide to follow my advice).

You are v pretty, and your hair is nice, but if you want a change you should go for it. I feel there is nowt worse than being bored with your hair

Are you the one with the white nose?

squeaver · 13/11/2008 22:21

you need to take a couple of inches off at least. That will give you more "volume" as they say. Don't be frightened of a fringe, there's no upkeep but I do think it would age you.

piratecat · 13/11/2008 22:23

ooh you look 'just right' in that 1st pic!! I would go for choppy longlayers round the face, keep the length at sides, and invert like you said.

brill idea , and yes you will still be able to tie it back.

i had yards cut off mine a few weeks ago, been getting shorter and shorter!!

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:24

you are stunning. a sharp bob would look great. Would bring out your cheekbones.

aGalChangedHerName · 13/11/2008 22:29

God you are nothing like i imagined

I thought you were a old crone lol

You are v pretty

Crap at hair advice so wont bother giving any.

thumbwitch · 13/11/2008 22:29

I have had my long hair cut progressively shorter and shorter before now, with feathery bits round face etc. and found it a tad annoying when I couldn't scrape it back into a ponytail.
So now I always make sure it is long enough to be able to make a ponytail, but still have feathery gradations at the front (starting with chin length and getting longer)
My hair also frizzes easily and has a natural curl/wave - I cannot be arsed with products as I can't bear crispy hair (that's what I got with the one product someone induced me to try) - if you have shorter hair, the frizz becomes more unmanageable ime.
Frizzy fringes are THE worst thing ever. My hair is v. fine and so my fringe was too flyaway to ever look how I wanted it to (bear in mind the natural curl/wave and frizz as well).

hope that helps?

Furball · 13/11/2008 22:30

I did I know this thread would be yours!

TBH - I'd forgotten how gorgous your hair is, so take no notice of me! But that link of yours is a really nice style and will look fab.

Post a piccy tomorrow? or better still come next friday and show it off in person. [pretty please]

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:30

piratecat · 13/11/2008 22:31

i grew my fringe just after i saw you last year,

chopped it off a yr back cos it looked better with a sort of retro outfit i was wearing out ( don't ask!!)

regretted it the next day!! Have been growing it out for a yr, but slwly geting morelayers and shorter at the back,

last haircut, long at front/sides (to lower jaw) the rest is short at back. it goes into nape of neck iyswim.

it was just hanging there, i got fed up !!!

Cadmum · 13/11/2008 22:32

No help here, really but I just wanted to say that you would be beautiful either way...

Does your hair grow quickly? (I only ask because it makes it easier if you don't like the cut.)

My bob does not scrape up into a pony and it has been 3 months...

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:33

lol furball
Really cant stretch financially (damn christmas and car)to coming at the moment but really hope i can make another one.

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:36

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:37

cheesesarnie · 13/11/2008 22:40

pelvic-your beutiful.
i think looks fine as it is but the bob sounds fab.i had mine like that but got bored and had 'even' length bob with fringe but wish i had kept it the same.

Beauregard · 13/11/2008 22:42

You are all making me
I dont look like that in real life,Turkishdeelite just takes a good pic.

OMG i just dont know.
I like my long hair but sometimes feel like a witch.I definately need a few inches from the main length.I dont want to have it bobbed to really regret it.
