(I'm no help) Also love the one posted just above that is a bit shorter. So great that you can wear it both curly and straight. Your hair is beautiful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-684193 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 15:04:01 +0000 christy 684193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always talk big about doing something drastic the day before I'm scheduled to get my hair cut, but now I'm waffling. When I mentioned that I was thinking of going quite a bit shorter, both my husband and 6 year old son said "NO!" They don't help with the confidence factor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683970 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 06:37:31 +0000 Deborah 683970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am no expert! But I am not sure I would go any shorter than the photo you added. I like the softness of a bit of length around your face, and at this length you still have the opportunity to style straight or curly. As AG says an angled or concave bob might work nicely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683894 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 03:17:06 +0000 catgirl 683894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore your hair. If you want to change it I think an angled wedge would be flexible and keep the curly/straight options as well as some length in front. You're so gorgeous you could get aways with anything, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683870 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 02:23:11 +0000 Victoria 683870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Of course! Both myself and former coworker had curly hair, it can look perfectly proffesional, as long as its well styled </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683867 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 02:13:05 +0000 christy 683867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aida - you're spot on! The picture above is just a week or two before we had the December meet-up. And yes, I did wear the same sweater! Great memory!</p> <p>Can I still pull off a polished, professional look with a short, curly 'do? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683847 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:28:25 +0000 velvetychocolate 683847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm no expert, but I loved the curly 'do' you sported for pictures on the beach during your recent vacation - just fabulous! </p> <p>I think the photo you just posted with the most recent 'chop job' is wonderful on you. Angie's 100% right about this - it's ok to shorten the hairstyle up a wee bit, and the curls are amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683845 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:25:43 +0000 Aida 683845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah Christy, when is that photo from? I was going to suggest something similar to how you had it back for the December meet up; you wore that same top I think? I think that length you have in the photo just above but with more dramatic, shorter layers styled wild curly would be SUPER fun </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683829 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:07:29 +0000 Victoria 683829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>^I suggest you go shorter(if you want a change), I think it would look great with your face shape. The front pieces you could have to the middle of your cheekbone and back, all layered up and short. I actually like your shorter do as opposed to the longer one you have now, its a bit more unique and I think suits your face perfectly </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683797 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 00:45:07 +0000 christy 683797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the input! So here's the last time I did a bit of a "chop job"....should I go even shorter? Or is this about right? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683564 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:49:24 +0000 Victoria 683564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great with curly hair so maybe you can do A line angular bob, a shorter than what you have now. As someone who has very wavy/curly hair, I struggled with it until I cut it in a short very angled bob(longer layers towards the face). I eventually cut it in the pixie but the bob was a great style in terms of versatility because I could wear it straight or curly(and it really made styling it curly a breeze). I think that sort of style would be wondeful on you:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683510 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:12:31 +0000 Jonesy 683510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I third that suggestion! My bet, based on my own hair experience, is that if you have a few more layers on top and condition the heck out of it (and put down the blow dryer and straightener!) your top layers will curl too. For me, it's the damage and dryness that curb the curls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683503 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:04:53 +0000 Anonymous 683503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I second that - you look great with curls in a halo around your head. It looks vibrant and lively and just makes your face and expression glow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683414 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:23:36 +0000 Angie 683414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with hubs. Don't go pixie short. </p> <p>I do vote a MUCH shorter curly AND layered bob. I LOVE your hair wild. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683410 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 16:20:29 +0000 Jaime 683410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am terrible at suggestions of this sort, but I do love your hair curly. What worked for me was to find a real good hairdresser and see what she recommended. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/getting-the-itch-to-chop-off-my-hair#post-683365 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:45:55 +0000 christy 683365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all! I have an appointment with my stylist tomorrow and I have been feeling the urge to do something a bit drastic with my hair. My husband keeps telling me "don't do it!" after having been through several traumatic hair cutting experiences in years past. That, and he prefers my hair long. </p> <p>The trouble is my hair is SO thick and it's partly crazy curly (the underneath layers) and partly frizzy straight (the top layers). Which means that every day is a battle with my hair. I have to beat it into submission, either with a flat iron or a curling iron. My hair styling tool drawer looks like I have a split personality!!! If all else fails, it's barely long enough to pull back with approximately 8011 bobby pins, but I don't really like the way I look with my hair all pulled back because I don't have any bangs and it looks too severe all pulled back.</p> <p>I don't really have the face or features for a pixie - my face shape is too round. Are there any other slightly edgy, cool shorter styles that will still allow me to look professional and pulled together? Any ideas? Or should I just abandon the idea altogether and keep what I have now?</p> <p>I have to post and run, but looking forward to your thoughts! :)</p> <p>Here are a few pictures of my hair curly and straight at the length it is now. </p>
