I asked for longer layers and they are not, its all very choppy and I think it rests on an unflattering position on my chin(s). I don't know if its all a bit bowl shaped DH likes it but I think he is worried to upset me.

i think it's lovely

LibrasBiscuitsOfFortune · 16/01/2010 18:22

It could probably do with being a tad longer but it's not hideous. Is that straight from the hairdresser or once you had washed it?

SqueezyIsStartinAResolution · 16/01/2010 18:25

I think it's nice. When you said long layers, I thought you had really long hair and that they'd chopped too much into it. I don't think the layers are too short, it suits you. Plus your hair is in fab condition, super shiny!

Maize · 16/01/2010 18:25

Straight from hairdressers, not washed it yet.

Well....

sucks teeth<

..I really like it.

How do you get it so shiney?

SparkyfartDust · 16/01/2010 18:26

I like it. Tis smart & pretty.

cookielove · 16/01/2010 18:27

i think it looks nice but the pictures are a bit to big for my laptop, so kind of have to view it in stages

Maize · 16/01/2010 18:27

I think its shiny because its dark brown and straight. I use Sunsilk brunette conditioner which seems to help?

I have a similar shaped face and have to say I think slightly longer looks slightly better. No way is it hideous though!

PurpleEglu · 16/01/2010 18:29

I think it looks nice.

MaggieNilAonSneachta · 16/01/2010 18:29

i like it. my hair is too curly for a fringe. I'm jealous.

cocolepew · 16/01/2010 18:29

It's lovely and suits you. You hair is in brilliant condition

StrawberriesandCherries · 16/01/2010 18:29

Looks lovely!

MyCatIsABiggerBastardThanYours · 16/01/2010 18:30

I think it is rather nice. I would go for longer myself, although maybe only and inch. But the good thing with hair, of course, is that it grows. Looks very nice on you.

Maize · 16/01/2010 18:33

Thanks for the replies. I think an inch longer and i will like it more. I like the cut but I think its shorter than I expected.

It is naturally that straight yes. Was an arse when it was long and I tried to curl it.

Looks like they gave you a sort of a bob instead of what you asked for, but it's very nice and chic.

I love it I'd love a fringe like that but my hair has a bit of a wave in it and a fringe just won't sit right.

You look great!

TishTosh21 · 16/01/2010 22:00

I had that EXACT haircut a couple of months and was also a bit about it cos i thought the hairdresser had taken too much off too but i got used to it very quickly and forgot how fast it grows!

I think it really suits you

SixtyFootDoll · 16/01/2010 22:08

I think it would suit you more a leetle bit longer.
But its not hideous, and your hair is in lovley condition.

PollyTechnique · 16/01/2010 22:13

Fab hair! Beautiful colour and condition.

It looks like a good cut but only you know if you really feel comfortable in it.

Never in a million years "hideous".

Heated · 16/01/2010 22:15

Think it looks lovely and beautifully shiny from the back and nice from the front. A good classic cut.

Next time, in about 6 to 8 weeks, I would have slight play with it and go for a more angled bob, leaving it longer at the front, or a choppier, messier cut.
