I think you would look really good with a short cut. </p> <p>My hair is extremely wiry and thick and that's why I've never taken the plunge. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1759749 Mon, 12 Dec 2016 15:50:02 +0000 sylvie55 1759749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Long and wavy to shorter and blown out. Unfortunately I don't have time/energy/inclination to do a full blowout every day so I'm thinking of growing it out again.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1619066 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 13:45:55 +0000 Thirkellgirl 1619066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think Astrid wins the before/after! It's like you found your real look when you cut your hair short! My current profile pic (wearing a camp sweatshirt around the house, no makeup) is the longest my hair has been in years and years. All of a sudden it's gotten enough weight on top to not drive me absolutely crazy, and I'm curious to see where it goes from here. I've been a short, shorter, and shortest style person forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1619038 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 09:14:12 +0000 Astrid 1619038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two holiday pictures with similar weather and clothes, one year apart. When I went for a pixie in the past it was never gradually - I always went from at least shoulder length to short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618934 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 19:53:34 +0000 Greyscale 1618934@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still think of my hair as long, but I was hanging out with a guy last week who commented on how short my hair was compared to when he met me. So I dug up these old photos to show the change. I'm not sure it's exactly drastic, but even getting a haircut at all was a huge psychological hurdle, and the more recent style felt like a huge change.</p> <p>1. 2004<br />2. 2005<br />3. my first-ever professional haircut, 2005, age 26<br />4. now, with shorter hair and only covering 3/4 of my head! It's been like this since 2013.</p> <p>I think the photo against the grey stone structure was after the haircut, but I'm not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618807 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 04:15:26 +0000 shiny 1618807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to find a pic of me with long hair, as I would end up putting it back in a pathetically thin pony or bun all the time (affectionately called "the Nubbin"). My hair doesn't grow any longer than this. Circa 2003. That's the hubby, before he went gray. </p> <p>ETA: pic of short hair! This one was taken right after a cut, so professionally styled and all that.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618799 Sun, 21 Feb 2016 03:51:09 +0000 gradfashionista 1618799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, these photos are great. It's really incredible how the right short cut can make eyes pop, even when the previously longer hair was styled nicely. Angie, I find it hard to imagine you with long hair. What made you decide to chop it all off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618703 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 20:08:32 +0000 Staysfit 1618703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I'm not going to post my longer haired pics! It's going to be too much work to crop my children out of them, but it was fun to look at them. &nbsp;A real trip down memory lane! &nbsp; (I had completely forgotten my hair was shoulder length in the back only, for a very short time when I was pregnant with my DD) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618698 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 19:47:27 +0000 Suz 1618698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Neither a very flattering pic, but you get the idea!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618593 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 12:14:19 +0000 Traci 1618593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Me! I just did this and I'm having so much fun with it! I can't wait to play around with the designs. </p> <p>The before pic is on the left, but that was over six months ago, and the last time I had had a haircut, so my real before was much more grown out, sad and scraggly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618592 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 12:11:13 +0000 Staysfit 1618592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm more of a color chameleon than a style changer but I may be able to dig up some very old pics showing my long hair..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618591 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 12:05:28 +0000 Style Fan 1618591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay don't laugh.&nbsp; I went from bangs then grew out my bangs and then had bangs again.&nbsp; I am quite the risk taker.&nbsp; :)<br />Oh yes I got highlights and hated them.</p> <p>Photo 1&nbsp; 1989&nbsp; Natural hair colour with bangs.<br />Photo 2&nbsp; 2005&nbsp; Highlights in hair and no bangs.&nbsp; <br />Photo 3&nbsp; 2010&nbsp; Natural hair colour and bangs.<br />Photo 4&nbsp; 2015&nbsp; Natural hair colour and bangs.</p> <p>If it works don't fix it.&nbsp; This is what I have learnt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618546 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 02:49:11 +0000 rabbit 1618546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went in stages over about 2 years, having said that the shorter it gets, the better I like it and easier it is to keep it from going AWOL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618524 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 01:51:17 +0000 Aida 1618524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went from long to short (about 10") a few years back, loved it. Posted before and after photos <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-you-spot-the-difference" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Currently working towards (and almost at) a modified mullet of sorts :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618456 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:55:43 +0000 Angie 1618456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's REALLY fun going for drastic hair changes. I've done it a few times - from long to short. You are shocked each time you look in the mirror for about a week. And they you can't believe you ever had long hair.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618451 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 22:45:20 +0000 Suz 1618451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll do it when I am home; don't have access right now to pics of before. Sounds like a great idea.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/before-and-after-drastic-hair-changes#post-1618410 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 21:20:08 +0000 gradfashionista 1618410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've pretty much had the same two hairstyles for all of my life and am considering chopping my hair incredibly short. For the sake of inspiration, I thought I'd start a thread where people could post their before and after photos involving major hair changes. Since I have nothing to report as of yet, volunteers are most welcome! </p>
