I think it would look fantastic on you. I know it will be a while until you get it cut, but I'm so excited for you. I think you will have a lot of fun getting a new haircut and going for something different. Can't wait to see pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35351 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:18:46 +0000 Nicole 35351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Maya, I think you should cut it. </p> <p>First of all, it's only hair, and it grows back. It also seems like your hair grows quickly.</p> <p>Second of all, you know how it looks now--you have *some* idea how it will look shorter--but you will always have that nagging desire to really find out how it would look. So you might as well cut it, find out for sure if you like it, and never be able to say "I wish I had .... " It's much better to be able to say "I wish I hadn't...." </p> <p>And third of all....You would look great! It would polish your look and really highlight your eyes! </p> <p>:P to you too ;D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35348 Tue, 18 Nov 2008 00:00:56 +0000 tarzy 35348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely! You would look fabulous in shorter hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35347 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 23:57:44 +0000 Lena 35347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have more to add, just want to say that you have stunning features, Maya. The shorter cut will definitely play up your beautiful eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35328 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:31:20 +0000 Inge 35328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me too Maya. I don't have anything more to add to what has been said already, but I really think you'll look beautiful!<br /> (and boy, that's handy, being able to do a before and after picture yourself!-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35269 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 04:20:16 +0000 Maya 35269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Nicole, so do you think I should cut it or not? :p Actually, I am not really hard on myself about my face. I mean, I go without makeup pretty deliberately. I just don't think I need it. But I'm not unrealistic either. I have large pores, lots of blackheads, and since I never get enough sleep, I tend to look very tired and a bit pale. All the pictures I have posted here are from vacations, so I'm pretty well rested and don't have any crazy circles under my eyes and the tan doesn't hurt either. It's not that I think I look "bad," I'm just acknowledging some issues that I don't want to be highlighted.</p> <p>Well, I made an appointment with a girl who was recommended to me by my mom, but she's booked every weekend until Dec. 13 so I have a while to wait and think about it. I don't think I am willing to make such a dramatic change with a stylist I have never been to, so I might see how she does with the hair I have first. Or maybe I"ll just be impatient like I always am and let her have at it. She must do a good job if she's booked for a whole month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35259 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:33:51 +0000 Tanya 35259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it would be absolutely gorgeous on you Maya. And I agree with everything Nicole has just said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35248 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 03:01:29 +0000 Nicole 35248@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya, at the risk of sounding like a "yes man"...</p> <p>I think you are freaking beautiful and it kills me that you don't think you can wear a shorter haircut. You have a beautiful complexion, great bone structure, gorgeous eyes and very exotic features that put you in the beautiful category. I think you are one of those people who does not see yourself the way the rest of the world does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35246 Mon, 17 Nov 2008 01:49:50 +0000 BLB 35246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Two thumbs up! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35241 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:41:33 +0000 Amanda 35241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely go for it! The cut frames your face very well. I don't think that you will have to wear more make-up than you normally do with short hair. This style will naturally highlight your eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35240 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 23:24:40 +0000 Ana 35240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great Maya! You have a very pretty face and beautiful eyes--you could definitely pull it off, don't even worry about that. The shorter cut makes you look more polished, I think (although, your long hair is very pretty as well). </p> <p>I'm excited to see what you decide to do! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35235 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 22:40:12 +0000 Anonymous 35235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! Adorable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35233 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:58:08 +0000 kellygirl 35233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! I like how it frames your face. The longer hair draws my eye down. The shorter hair highlights your eyes and your lovely smile! I say "go for it!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35232 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 21:06:08 +0000 Maya 35232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Kelly! OK, I put my nerdy graphic design skills to use and made this, probably the most helpful comparison:</p> <p>RIght now my hair is like this but slightly longer:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1087-1.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....1087-1.jpg</a></p> <p>And here is the after (ignore what appears to be a skin disease...)</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_1087.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_1087.jpg</a></p> <p>Tell me what you think! I actually really like it and it made me a bit more confident and less scared. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35228 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 18:20:22 +0000 kellygirl 35228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're beautiful and have gorgeous eyes! I think it would be a very flattering style. I like the length--not too short but definitely stylish. Looks like it would be easy to style with just a round brush. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35200 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:29:56 +0000 Maya 35200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I am pretty certain I have an oval face shape. I guess short hair is scary because there is so much more emphasis on your face. I don't think I have a bad or ugly face, but I do think long hair draws attention away from my face when I'm tired or my skin isn't looking so great. I wonder if I have to trade off my high maintenance hair for high maintenance makeup, which is not something I do now.</p> <p>This picture is over 3 years old but I have my hair up so my face shape is more obvious:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/France/IMG_2290.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_2290.jpg</a></p> <p>I should emphasize that I don't normally look that good :p</p> <p>1) I was on a study abroad and had a tan<br /> 2) I wore makeup the entire time I was there<br /> 3) I was having a rocking great time and not stressed out/tired like I am now </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35198 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:18:35 +0000 Amanda 35198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maya - it sounds like I have similar hair to yours and I have had a similar cut. I like this cut and don't think it is difficult to maintain. I thought that you posted a pic recently and I was looking for it to see your face shape but couldn't find it. I think that the long layers in the front won't feel like you have "short" hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/contemplating-a-new-haircut#post-35194 Sun, 16 Nov 2008 03:06:02 +0000 Maya 35194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I am more scared than most people of going short because I have had 2 short haircuts in the past and both of them looked quite bad (one of them made me cry). I always felt as though they made my face look very wide and drew attention to my prominent nose. But I really love this haircut and even though my hair looks good the way it is, it's getting to be too labor intensive and I wonder if I should give it another try. </p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/Picture1-3.png" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....ure1-3.png</a><br /> <a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/Picture7.png" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....cture7.png</a></p> <p>I have fine hair, medium to thick density. It tends to get flat on the top and heavy at the ends so I need a lot of layering. What do you guys think? I'd ask my stylist, but she is on maternity leave so I'm in a bit of a pickle. </p>
