I discovered that I'm a short hair girl too.... I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294555 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 22:33:30 +0000 Bianca 294555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hair is an accessory. Go to a good stylist for a precession cut.

Short hair is fun and extremely fashionable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294504 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:37:07 +0000 DanaLynn 294504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You said you have a wide face which makes me think of Gennifer Goodwin. She keeps a few longer layers around the front to soften it a bit. This seems better suited than the super short Emma Watson look. I think pixies are great for women of any age- I think hair texture plays a larger role in whether it is appropriate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294497 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 21:11:42 +0000 Inge 294497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds as if you really want to go shorter, Annie, I say go for it!-)</p> <p>I absolutely love pixie cuts, but I'm biased, since I have one myself too (I'm 40 as well). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294376 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 18:23:00 +0000 CK 294376@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am 47 and the ladies here voted for the pixie over the bob for me by a landslide a few months ago. </p> <p>My face is oval/heart shaped with very wide cheekbones, and I keep my layers a big longer on top. My "sideburns" are wispy rather than sharply cut, and it's also razored in the back at the neckline rather than cut straight across. All this keeps it very feminine looking.</p> <p>I also find that using a little product makes all the difference with my pixie in keeping it modern looking, so make sure your stylist teaches you how to use a styling creme or wax if you don't already know how to do so. I actually watched styling videos on youtube - very helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294360 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:29:24 +0000 Deb 294360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>(Oh ... and I forgot to ask - how did the overly short bob make you look like a dominatrix?! Did your expression in the mirror look like you were ready to thrash her??) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294354 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 17:25:31 +0000 Deb 294354@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy-oh-boy ... you sound like my sister and me - the eternal dilemma!</p> <p>Sounds like you really want to try the pixie, and I say go for it! Nothing ventured, nothing gained and, as you already said, hair grows. It may be the best decision you've made in years, but you'll never know until you give it a try.</p> <p>(Not that I'm egging you on, or anything ...!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294290 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 13:52:30 +0000 Barbara 294290@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been rocking a spiky short hairstyle for 20+ years and I'm 56! It's my signature look.</p> <p>Seek out photos of your preferred style and put yourself in the hands of a short-hair EXPERT. Not every stylist has the skill to craft a perfect precision cut.</p> <p>With short hair, you will always stand out in a crowd. Confidence is key! Be prepared for lots of attention. And don't forget: impeccable makeup and funky earrings! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294285 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 12:50:57 +0000 Janet 294285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that kind of cut can look great on a woman of any age. Just depends on face shape, personal style, etc. Do you have a hairstylist you trust? A good one will help you determine if it will be flattering for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294271 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 10:30:02 +0000 Louise 294271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Our own darling Angie has a pixie and is 40 x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-do-or-dont#post-294268 Tue, 08 Feb 2011 10:04:51 +0000 annie1968 294268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been thinking about cutting my hair quite short for sometime now. I should say shorter - as it's already reasonably short I was growing it out into a bob. My hair ended up short by accident last year, when an over eager stylist cut my then bob too short and made me look like a domantrix - so I had to go shorter to get rid of an unflattering cut. Strangely enough after the shock wore off, I decided I rather liked having short hair as it's so damn easy to look after.</p> <p>I'd pretty much without question started to grow it out again - but I've discovered that I am, at heart a short haired girl. I keep telling whoever is doing my hair to taper it into the back, or whatever. My hair is sort of approaching a pseudo bob at the moment and the growing out process is driving me nuts already.</p> <p>Thing is I really like the current pixie look. I'm in my early forties with a long, but wideish sort of face and I wear glasses. I keep reading articles that it's only a cut for the young, or those with heart shaped faces. Then I read an article about women from 13 - 60 who had their hair chopped into a pixie and they all looked incredible. </p> <p>Michelle Williams has a little bit of a wide face, but again it looks great on her. I'm thinking I could get away with longer layers on top. But I'm wary in case it makes me look butch. Yet it's only hair and it grows. What's your take on the whole pixie and should woman beyond a certain age not have it done? </p> <p>Annie. </p>
