That is gorgeous, to say at least!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1/page/2#post-2171250 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 02:14:10 +0000 Echo 2171250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla, I am not sure there is a wrong choice with hair as beautiful as yours. I really love your hair the way it is, so to continue that in a longer version might work out well, but I don't know how layered it currently is. I understand the attraction of one-length hair, but I do think it is harder to style without DOING something with it (pulling it half up, for example). Regardless, like I said, I am sure it will be fab with whatever you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1/page/2#post-2171235 Thu, 11 Feb 2021 01:07:10 +0000 rachylou 2171235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the game. I definitely vote for curly, but can give no thoughts on actual cutting. One wants to avoid ‘flat top’ too, where one’s hair is a plateau on top... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1/page/2#post-2171231 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 23:51:49 +0000 Carla 2171231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ cat2 - my hair is at 12 inches (straightened) and I’ve had it to about 15 inches. &nbsp;It was all one length and looked like Sarah Jessica Parker’s in her role as Carrie in SITC for 6-8 months of the year. &nbsp;When there is less humidity, the curl smoothes out a little every day from pulling it back, hats, and sleeping on it. &nbsp;The curl revives if it gets damp or washed. &nbsp;I would like to try for another year - to 18 inches?</p> <p>So, I will certainly take my stylist’s advice, but now I have some ideas and photos to show her. &nbsp;Thanks, everybody!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171228 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 23:27:37 +0000 cat2 2171228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you had longer hair before? My experience with it is that once you get past the initial pain of grow out, the weight pulls your curls into something more manageable. You might talk to your stylist about how close you would get to the long curls in the picture above. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171223 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 22:07:56 +0000 RobinF 2171223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 7/8 for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171222 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 21:44:23 +0000 nemosmom 2171222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>LOVE your curls, and the idea of growing it longer!&nbsp; <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Is your hair texture coarse?&nbsp; I wonder if layers at your neck area would eliminate the triangle (assuming you don't want the triangle), and allow your curls to spring.&nbsp; When it's straight, the layers would create a shag-ish look in the back - not a uniform bob length.

Since you are really more into wearing your hair naturally, I agree that the bevelled cut would be awesome! Blunt would be great IF you were going to do all the straightening, etc ... but it does need a surprising amount of styling (imo - I have a blunt cut right now, and I have to straighten, or straighten then curl, but my natural waves don't work at all with it) to make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171192 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 18:06:20 +0000 Suz 2171192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your natural curls and am in favour of doing anything that will make them a prominent feature of the style!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171191 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 18:05:38 +0000 LaPed 2171191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your curls, but when your hair is in its straight state the pulled-back low pony or chignon looks so good, very effortless gentlewoman. </p> <p>My hair is pretty much the opposite of yours but at a similar stage in its grow-out. I’m a blunt-cut diehard, but at shoulder length I do start to wonder if I ought to think about beveling it a bit, or adding some layers to make the extra length seem more... intentional? Not just the unmaintained version of a short cut. </p> <p>With your curls, I think beveling will give a sporty, youthful vibe that really suits you. </p> <p>And FWIW I’m another who thinks Kidman is at her best with red curls. Although I’m sure blonde and straight offers more Hollywood versatility. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171187 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:40:33 +0000 Carla 2171187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@ Angie - my regular stylist is back from mat leave! &nbsp;She knows curly hair, and is a red head herself! &nbsp;</p> <p>If it doesn’t work out, I can always go back to short, but I’d like to give longer hair a try.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171183 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 17:19:53 +0000 Angie 2171183@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exciting and fun inspiration! </p> <p>Another vote for curly, and I love #7 and #8 for you.

I'm not good with figuring out other peoples' hair (which doesn't stop me from trying , lol) so I don't have anything to add other than I love your hair worn in it's shorter, curlier state. &nbsp;Do you colour it at all? &nbsp;Just thinking a couple of really bright highlights right around your face would be really nice. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171166 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 15:41:05 +0000 Ledonna N. 2171166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ummm I love&nbsp; your natural state&nbsp; so beautiful&nbsp;&nbsp; I heard that layered cuts can be a pain&nbsp; Whatever you choose it will be beautiful </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171164 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 15:36:57 +0000 Cardiff girl 2171164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your longer hair,straight or curly.As I am not the proud possessor of really curly hair I don’t feel qualified to comment on the technical side of cutting but I do feel that when one has an asset as you do in your hair that you should make the most of it .So more is more where I am concerned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171163 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 15:25:25 +0000 Anonymous 2171163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the curly, layered look is awesome on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171152 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 14:41:07 +0000 Windchime 2171152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’ve been liking your longer hair, too, and vote to go with a style which features your signature natural curl. Your hair’s length and curls are already very similar to pic. #7. &nbsp;I think it would be fantastic on you. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171143 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 14:03:09 +0000 Janet 2171143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your longer hair! And I am with you on preferring your hair with its natural curl — you have a lot of curl and it suits you so well. I absolutely agree with the bevel cut approach — I cannot do a blunt cut because I get triangle head too. I’ve even been trimming my hair a little bit from time to time using that bevel technique to try to preserve some layers. I think the 7/8 cuts would work well for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171139 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 13:52:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2171139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look in #4, but that would take a lot of work for curly hair. It’s hard to really pin your curl pattern down. Is it 3b? How does it vary on different parts of your head; is it 4a in places? That would make a lot of difference in natural styles that would work best (and you know I’m all about natural hair). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171123 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 08:11:28 +0000 Jenni NZ 2171123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funnily enough I like pic 1 best! Current front view.<br /> All the pics of your hair I have ever seen that I like best are that slightly messy curly look. Long- term pic 7 and first comment pic 2 model look prettiest to me. But I do think they may take more maintenance!<br /> My DD1 in the SF Bay Area has similar curly hair to yours. She gets the pyramid issue. But she has let it grow longer in the pandemic and has created ringlets at the front by winding pieces around her finger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171115 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 06:22:53 +0000 Minaminu 2171115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto on the bevelled cut! The haircut of picture number 7 should frame your face beautifully! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171107 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 04:49:21 +0000 Sal 2171107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the idea of the bevelled cut for you.&nbsp; I think you could still tie it back if needed.&nbsp; I think it would encourage the curls and suit your hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171104 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 04:31:59 +0000 Bijou 2171104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #7 and think this would work beautifully with your hair. A bevelled cut will make the most of your curls. Of course, the long-term project is important if you want to wear your hair long. Both long term hairstyles are gorgeous, have you ever had long hair to know how yours would sit when long?</p> <p>It's hard to believe that Nicole Kidman would prefer her hair straight over curly or blonde over red! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171102 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 04:22:32 +0000 Sal 2171102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Double commented</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171100 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 04:14:38 +0000 slim cat 2171100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second option - mostly because I'm feeling more optimistic about the future and the availability of professional haircuts . You'd rock both styles I'm sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171099 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 04:12:09 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2171099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like the blunt style would work better if you do want to wear it straight sometimes. But I kind of prefer the beveled cuts for you. However, they might require more maintenance cuts than the blunt style would. Maybe the blunt cut is a good one to get through the pandemic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-help-needed-1#post-2171080 Wed, 10 Feb 2021 02:33:46 +0000 Jaime 2171080@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair curly and vote for #7. Of course I have no idea how to get it there, but I assume your hair dresser understands beveled vs. blunt! </p>
