Does very short hair only look good on thin women?

[Nevergoogle]

I'd love to get my hair cut into a short crop, as had it short before and liked it. But i was a bit thinner back then.

Bad idea?

As a general rule, yes.

I speak from experience; even when I was thin , I have always had a round face, and the very short cut I had was a disaster. Never again. Pinhead.

Although would need a photo to judge...

I disagree. It's more about your features/bone structure and a firm jawline than weight. Judi Dench is a good example. She carries a comfortable amount of chub yet she suits a crop.

I hope not, as I have very short hair and I'm a bit of a heifer.

I do have high cheekbones though, which I have convinced myself is the key to carrying it off

Ok, pic on my profile for a few minutes.

Can't see pic?

Have I missed it?

try now

have grown my fringe out now ready for a shorter do.

just don't know how short i can go.

If you get your hair cut this winter you will get a cold head.

What a lovely pic

I will be honest, I wouldn't go for an 'elfin' crop, but think you could carry off a shorter style, definitely. Perhaps with longer 'feathers' at the back and sides IYSWIM?

thanks.

are you saying i'm a fatty?
only kidding, thanks for your help.

can you link me to a pic of what you have in mind?

what about going safe with a nice bob once my fringe has grown out a bit more?

am fed up with all the drying involved in long hair, it takes forever.

is as close a pic as I can find to what I mean.

this I mean

Sorry, no idea about hair but what a gorgeous photo.

Actually, nothing at all to do with size (not even nearly fat BTW), but more to do with your face shape- an elfin crop would look a bit harsh on you, I think.

You are me this time last year, pissed of with dying, drying, straighting etc. etc. Harked back to the good old days when I looked HOT with short, snappy cut. So got short snappy cut in Jan - looked fab. I thought, Then pictures appeared....

Jan 2010 hair just below jawline and growing....

But it did let me get all the colour chopped out and that is so liberating.

I am marginal heifer but super short needs firm jaw, well actually maybe just one chin would have helped

yes, that's a nice haircut.

you're being too kind about the photo. it's ds2 that makes it good, not me and my mahoosive forearm.

i have cheekbones somewhere. i used to carry off short hair well.

Oh just seen your picture - you look fab! Jaw length at sides and taper at the back then you lose all the length and hassle.

But beware it is a major pain not being to clip it up. Quicker to 'do' but needs done more often I found.

so lose lots of length off the back but keep it soft and longer around the face?

went for a long fringe and an undercut about 3 years ago right before having DS2. Felt great for the summer but not sure i had the right number of chins at the time.

ok, that's my midnight curfew.

i'll take the pic off.

Thanks for your replies.

So, no short short, just keep it soft.

Just need a day off work to get it cut now.

Post a pic of new hair when done

will do. no point in me being shy anymore, not with the ford product test. i have to record a video diary, so any hope of anonymity fairly pointless.

bugger!! did i miss photo?

haha yes

just take it from me, i'm not as pretty as you.

bollocks. To both.
