(Or without ANY work, some days). It really spoiled me and made it much harder for me to manage long hair. Too much upkeep. </p> <p>Una, can't wait to see your pics! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435698 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:09:08 +0000 catgirl 435698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rita, you are right! Back when I was way younger, I used to let my husband (then boyfriend) use an electric clipper to keep the back of my hair short. EEK! Sometimes getting older is a really good thing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435650 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 14:48:36 +0000 modgrl 435650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wedge in the back and long in the front? Go for it!! I beyond love my short hair! It was just going to be temporary, but now I am thinking I'm keeping this style for a while.l </p> <p>Just a thought though, the hair on the back of your head grows much faster than the front. You'll probably need to get more frequent haircuts with a shorter style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435600 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 13:22:27 +0000 Anonymous 435600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't wait to see your new hairstyle, beautiful Una! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435549 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:01:06 +0000 Deborah 435549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I think a choppy, angled bob would look fantastic. I love the pic of Charlize but I think that extremity with the wispy bits can quickly look not the healthiest, particularly if you are styling everyday (I share from experience). I think my previous stylist used a technique call point cutting? To create texture and a more choppy look. She also cut my hair while dry. Good luck, I have no doubt you will come out with a modern edgy look. Can't wait to see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435546 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 10:49:11 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 435546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you have the features and just slightly exotic look to carry it off well. Your hairdresser will be able to tell you if your hair will cooperate. I have found a really good flat iron can be a girl's best friend when it comes to short hair or growing out hair.</p> <p>I can't wait to see how it turns out.</p> <p>Suz, for hair that hasn't been styled, yours looks amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435509 Mon, 03 Oct 2011 05:12:16 +0000 Elly 435509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una-- I love it-- but I wonder--- only because Charlize has much thinner hair than you. My hair would do that, but I am not sure yours will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435300 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 21:06:07 +0000 catgirl 435300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks C1! We'll see what my hairdresser comes up with - like I said, I tell her what I want, and she does what I need. </p> <p>Suz, if I looked that good AFTER styling my hair, I'd be happy for the rest of my life. You OWN that cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435289 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:50:36 +0000 crazyone 435289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una: that's a super edgy and cool looking haircut, but I wonder if it would take to your hair, and even if I did, I'm almost sure it would require a TON of maintenance....but perhaps I am way too maintenance averse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435281 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:43:43 +0000 Suz 435281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I generally have to WET my hair, but not necessarily wash it. And I don't usually bother with blow-drying when it is short. </p> <p>But here it is today. I didn't bother wetting it this morning. Nor did I use any product. Nor did I brush it, for that matter. So it's not perfect, but neither is it horrid, and it could be improved with product alone and no wetting. </p> <p>Generally what I do if I want to go out in the world without wetting the hair is aim for a more textured look and add product to get it there. </p> <p>Please excuse the gear and lack of makeup; I'm just back from a run. </p> <p>The styling question is really important. The best styles for us tend to be the ones that look best AND are the least work for our individual hair type. For me, a bob is a huge amount of work, making it straighter, ironing it, etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435280 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:35:07 +0000 Barbara 435280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, I like the idea of a choppy/angled bob. I think you would rock short hair!</p> <p>What Marley asked: will your hair do that? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435279 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:32:53 +0000 catgirl 435279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I will. She is very good at listening to me ramble on and then doing the right thing. I also know short hair is not the lowest maintenance style for me. It's easy to style but I have to wash my hair every day when it's short or I look electrocuted. Do you find that to be the case, or can you make your hair last a day or two? (Say, if you were camping - by day 3 I'm usually wearing a hat or in a ponytail if long enough). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435276 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:31:04 +0000 Marley 435276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE this! Will your hair do that? (I ask, because mine wouldn't!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435274 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:28:40 +0000 Suz 435274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is very cool, Una. And I think it would suit you. </p> <p>Ask your stylist about the upkeep and whether it will work with your hair's texture. This was something I really had to consider. (Initially I wanted an angled bob but the upkeep would have been more than I could have tolerated with my hair and also, my hairline in the back doesn't really work well with a sharply angled bob.) </p> <p>You will need to know how it will grow out, and whether you can cut it into something else you enjoy if you get tired of it. Also, whether it can be styled successfully in different ways. You don't want a style that will look ratty instead of uber-cool, and you probably also want one that CAN look a bit more conservative if you're in court. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435271 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:22:03 +0000 cobaltblue 435271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That sounds like so much fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hair-thoughts-inspired-by-suz#post-435268 Sun, 02 Oct 2011 20:17:16 +0000 catgirl 435268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So I am thinking of something semi-drastic with my hair. I can't go completely OTT, given that I have to look like someone that elders can trust with their legal concerns, but I am really drawn to make a big change for the edgy side. </p> <p>Here's what I'm thinking - shorter,. angled and much choppier all around, leaving the very front pieces longer. The closest photo I can find is of Charlize Theron in "Aeon Flux" (yes, I secretly want to be a manga/anime character!)... But this would be more of an extreme short textured angled bob. Am I nuts?</p> <p><a href="http://www.aceshowbiz.com/still/00000543/aeon_flux04.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.aceshowbiz.com/stil.....lux04.html</a></p> <p>ETA: There's also this Victoria Beckham cut, but I have way more hair, and am thinking more razoring/shattering to make it piecy-er... </p>
