Short and tousled. My hair is short and layered and I can go a long time between cuts with it still looking good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-618662 Sun, 13 May 2012 11:28:07 +0000 Jjsloane 618662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Please continue to color. I like it short, but not too short and a little messy. To me you look like ScarlettJohansson or a younger Annette Bening<br /> Kind of like these (#2 is my favorite for you)<br /> I would be flattered at the Annette Bening comparisons I think she's stunning. Hope I have not offended (I just read your comment) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-618626 Sun, 13 May 2012 05:33:25 +0000 fashionista 618626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your hair short as in #1. You look very chic in short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-618618 Sun, 13 May 2012 04:33:55 +0000 Anonymous 618618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell DH that your hair is not yet grey enough to go without coloring it. (It seems to look best when it's at least 80-90% grey.) Angie has such a good eye that trying her suggestiion seems wise. You can always go shorter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-618612 Sun, 13 May 2012 04:21:54 +0000 Scarlet 618612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it short (Annette Benning is right on), but a bob would look good too. I would vote color because your face looks so youthful, but that is really such a personal decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-618544 Sun, 13 May 2012 02:10:34 +0000 danza.armonia 618544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short looks stunning on you! Of course, the ultimate choice should be the length you feel happiest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617579 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:41:22 +0000 HelenInCanada 617579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, I think you should grow it out, Amy. A beautiful mid-length cut, with restored colour. You have mentioned your uncertainty and even frustration about maintaining your high-maintenance ultra short cut several times on YLF, so that should say something! With a mid-length (or longer) cut, you can go much longer without a visit to a salon and it will still look fresh and great for months. I agree that with your face you can get away with any style, but I think for your lifestyle a not -so- extreme cut will work better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617549 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:14:09 +0000 Anonymous 617549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color, for sure! I like #1 and #2, and think either would be great. My current hairstyle is exactly like #2, lol! It's such an easy, no-fuss style. I agree with Angie about keeping it layered. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617543 Fri, 11 May 2012 18:08:54 +0000 ironkurtin 617543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>With your bone structure you can do anything. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617533 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:59:24 +0000 Janet 617533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair short. #1 is the clear winner in my book. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617529 Fri, 11 May 2012 17:54:11 +0000 Meredith1953 617529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it the way it is cut and colored in #1!! You look like Amy Adams! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617448 Fri, 11 May 2012 15:03:35 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 617448@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, you have beautiful features and a complexion that is gorgeous. I think you could wear your hair any way and look lovely. I do really like it short but I also like the color in #2 and the way your hair frames your face in #4. </p> <p>Tough decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617437 Fri, 11 May 2012 14:55:17 +0000 Amy 617437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the feedback, ladies. I'm waffling a bit here because I can't seem to keep up the frequent appointments required to keep short hair looking fab, my husband prefers it longer, and hats are fun to wear...but I do like the way it looks when short best...and, for better or worse, the Annette Bening comparisons really ramp up the shorter I go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617257 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:46:24 +0000 Kiwichik 617257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the shorter looks suits you better but any hair length that doesn't go below your chin would look good on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617254 Fri, 11 May 2012 05:40:19 +0000 soobee 617254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore your hair short, you have such gorgeous cheekbones and the shorter style in pic 1 really highlights them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617244 Fri, 11 May 2012 04:23:42 +0000 ManidipaM 617244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love what the short style does to flatter your cheekbones, but can absolutely see the point of growing it out to hat-friendly lengths (like that last picture a lot)! </p> <p>My suggestion: avoid having the greatest fullness alongside your cheekbones, it actually sort of camouflages them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617236 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:57:56 +0000 Suz 617236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SHORT. </p> <p>And I am not just saying that because I wear it that way. </p> <p>But. There's short and short. And maybe you need a different style than you had earlier. </p> <p>And...YOU have to feel fab. So that's the main thing. What makes YOU feel fab? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617212 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:28:47 +0000 christy 617212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amy, I ADORE your hair short and that's my favorite of these. But Angie's point is a good one and you look great with it a little longer too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617205 Fri, 11 May 2012 03:15:37 +0000 Patty 617205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How coincidental!<br /> I just clicked on and saw your pic on the front page and immediately thought how great your hair style looked as it is! =+D </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617186 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:46:12 +0000 Echo 617186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look stunning with short hair like in #1, although I could be convinced about #2 perhaps with a little more layers/shag. Shorter hair definitely suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617185 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:45:44 +0000 Jaime 617185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really think you look gorgeous with short hair. You have a beautiful face and the short hair just brings it out. On another thread IK said you look like Annette Bening and I (again) second that. And she also looks fantastic with short hair. Just saying... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617183 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:43:42 +0000 sarah 617183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE, LOVE, LOVE #1!!!! Hands down.</p> <p>But I could be convinced on #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617179 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:36:26 +0000 Amy 617179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies.</p> <p>Good point about the hats, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617177 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:33:13 +0000 Mamapicklejuice 617177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I remember flipping through an set of online photos you took (a lot of them were self-portraits) and I LOVED your look when you had longer hair. #3 or #4 FTW!!!</p> <p>Don't sell longer hairstyles short (haha). They can be edgy, fun, funky, YOU. You don't have to "settle" for a conservative bob if that's not your vibe.</p> <p>Big thumbs up for growing it out! :))) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617174 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:28:47 +0000 Fruitful 617174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've also seen other pics of you with short hair and I think you look INCREDIBLE with it short (and I'm not a "yay, short hair!" person). BTW that dress in pic 1 is stunning (in itself, and on you) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617166 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:19:38 +0000 annagybe 617166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color and somewhere between #2 and #4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617163 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:17:24 +0000 Angie 617163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote colour, (not grey), and grow it out a little bit more, but still keep it short and layered. I know how much you love to wear hats, and hats look so good with a little more hair. </p> <p>Not that you don't look stunning in #1! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-anxiety#post-617155 Fri, 11 May 2012 02:11:05 +0000 velvetychocolate 617155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also love your hair in pic #1. Just beautiful! I also think that your hair in pic #2 looks lovely too...so you could go either way.</p> <p>ETA: in pic #1 - you look like a movie star or model that I can't quite place - I'm thinking Audrey Tautou...</p> <p>here's a link to a Google image search:</p> <p><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=audrey+tautou&#038;hl=en&#038;client=firefox-a&#038;hs=sag&#038;rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&#038;prmd=imvnsuo&#038;source=lnms&#038;tbm=isch&#038;ei=xnasT5WHMOjeiAKo69iaBw&#038;sa=X&#038;oi=mode_link&#038;ct=mode&#038;cd=2&#038;ved=0CBUQ_AUoAQ&#038;biw=1440&#038;bih=690" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/search?q.....38;bih=690</a></p> <p>You remind me of her!

I am the same way - I suit short hair much better than longer. </p>
