You look great with shorter hair! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911171 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:00:37 +0000 Inge 911171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another fan here, Astrid!! I absolutely love this length and style on you, it accentuates your beautiful features and your beautiful hair. It's a big difference, of course, so maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it a little? You look very fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911165 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:53:51 +0000 Angie 911165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Astrid! I love the cut! You are gorgeous with hair this length. I think you're going to eventually love variations of this shorter style too. Have you tried a side parting? <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911155 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:42:55 +0000 Hil 911155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous Astrid! Maybe the roundabout thing you did here was the best way after all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911144 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 14:09:12 +0000 Astrid 911144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Suz, Janet and Ornella! <br /><br />Thanks Kelly! I didn't go to the same one, no. I just went to a cheap hairdresser in my neighbourhood. No styling and I had to blowdry myself, but she cut the long layer off for little money. I will try to post some full length pics soon.<br /><br />Thanks Shannon! It's the fixed cut, I had it done this morning. The first cut did look aweful in comparison. <br /><br />Thanks Texstyle! I do have short hair on the top, it also sits on the other layers because it's too short. It's not that visible from the front because I still have the long strands there, but you can see it from the sides and in the back. It's not as bad as it was before though, because the difference between the layers isn't as big anymore. You'll see it when I take pics. And no, I never part it on the side. Even if I wanted to - my hair just always wants to fall into a middle part. I can do it if I part it when it's still wet, but even then my scalp hurts after a while.<br /><br />Thanks Sara!<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911135 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:59:36 +0000 Sara L. 911135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really like your new cut!&nbsp; I don't know what the original bad cut looked like, but this one is great.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911130 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:54:09 +0000 texstyle 911130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the stylist did a great job with this fix - it looks very modern and light and really it's great on you.&nbsp;And as Suz said, will be a fun change for the summer. I was afraid it was going to have a lot of&nbsp;short hair at the top from the earlier description,&nbsp;but it doesn't look that way at all&nbsp;-&nbsp;this cut seems streamlined in a good way. I like that it still has a "longer hair" appearance too. Do you ever part it on the sides&nbsp;slightly&nbsp;(just curious if you can with this cut).<br /><br />Have fun with it and relax knowing you look fantastic! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911111 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:39:02 +0000 Transcona Shannon 911111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is this the "fixed" cut Astrid or what you came home with when you didn't like it? 'cause either way, I LOVE THIS on you!!! It's sassy, sexy and let's your beautiful face shine You have the prettiest smile BTW. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911107 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:36:44 +0000 kellygirl 911107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ OMG, I love it. I love how the short hair frames your face. You are so pretty, Astrid! You look sassier than ever. Sorry the initial cut didn't turn out how you wanted it but this looks amazing. I'm assuming you went back to the stylist to get it "fixed?" I'm curious if and how this will change the proportions of your outfits. I can't wait to see a WIW! LOVE! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911093 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:19:06 +0000 Ornella 911093@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous.&nbsp;<br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911076 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:42:22 +0000 Janet 911076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Ingunn and Ramya -- your long hair was lovely, but the shorter length makes it easier to see your pretty features, while still taking advantage of the texture and wave of your hair. </p> <p>I'm glad you're happier with this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911072 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:27:04 +0000 Suz 911072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is adorable on you, Astrid! Wow! It is going to feel so light and airy for the summer, and what a fun change for you. Can't wait to see full lengths.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911059 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 12:07:09 +0000 Astrid 911059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Dianthus. Not exactly a choice, but oh well. ;)<br /><br />Thanks Runcarla. I like the length in the front as well, it's a great length for framing the face. I only went to a super cheap hairdresser where you don't need an appointment, so I just told her to cut the longest layer off to keep it simple. I think I might have our family's hairdresser adjust it a bit when I go home. I think it would look better if the sides were a bit more angled. <br /><br />Thanks Ceit and Diane!<br /><br />Thanks Ingunn! My mum always liked my shorter hair better too, same as my godmother. It's definitely more sassy... Although I do think that I now need another way to add a bit of boho to my everyday outfits.&nbsp; <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911047 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:49:46 +0000 Ingunn 911047@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ i love this on you. Astrid! I actually prefer it to your longer hair! You look very feminine and fresh. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911043 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:44:11 +0000 Anonymous 911043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It was worth the wait for the photo, you look lovely! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911039 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:38:53 +0000 Anonymous 911039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this cut looks good! Perfect for summer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911038 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:34:49 +0000 Carla 911038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great length on you, and the type of cut should give you style and versatility as it grows, if you decide you you don't want to keep it as is for a while. </p> <p>I love this cut, since the long lengths around the face provide a 'long hair' look and feel, but the super short back gets the hair off the nape (great for summer) and showcases a pretty neck. You can change the look by changing where you put the part as well. </p> <p>My Pinterest hair inspiration page is full of pics of this type of cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911034 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:26:35 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 911034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ :You look fab with the new do.&nbsp; Nice choice.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go/page/2#post-911030 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:05:32 +0000 Astrid 911030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Ramya! People always love my long hair and when I cut it off they're all - wow, look at your face! ;)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-911027 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:58:59 +0000 ramya 911027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow!!!! You have gorgeous feature lady... Look at you!!!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-911024 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 10:52:48 +0000 Astrid 911024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Diane! Here's a quick picture taken with my phone. It's still a mess, but it's much better now. I had the longest layer taken up (it was down to my shoulders before!), the back is really short now. I still have short strands randomly sticking out somewhere, but it's not so bad because the overall look is choppy. I think I'm going to slowly adjust the longest layer with the next cuts until the short strands have a good length again. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-910995 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 08:38:27 +0000 Anonymous 910995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Sorry you aren't happy but it sounds like it's about to be rectified, good luck Astrid! pop back with pics later. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-910966 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 06:39:31 +0000 Astrid 910966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks Runcarla. I know bad ID pics, the one on my driver's license looks horrible and I won't get a new one unless I loose it. And yes, it has some mullet going on....<br /><br />Thanks Texstyle! I'm leaving in a minute, I really hope they can fix this.<br /><br />Thanks Glory. At least you can do a ponytail, mine's too short now. I'm definitely going to change stylist, I've been there only two times anyway. Or I'm going back to only getting my hair cut when I'm at my parents' home.<br /><br />Thanks Shannon, I'll think about it.<br /><br />Thanks Aida. I think you're right and she simply didn't know what to do with my hair. I think the inverted bob would be the best solution to keep most of the length, but I'm going to ask them what they think about it. <br /><br />Thanks Angie! I'm not unhappy that it'll be so short in the end, I'm more unhappy with the bad cut. But you're right of course! <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-910832 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:56:01 +0000 Angie 910832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Don't worry! Sometimes we just have to get used to a style - AND hair grows - AND you can chop more off if you like. It's all going to be fine, Astrid :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-910763 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 01:20:13 +0000 Aida 910763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Aw Astrid that's too bad! Curly hair can be such a pain to get a good cut for (when I find a stylist that can work with my hair, boy do I hold onto them for dear life). I'd be curious to see the cut too, your inspiration photo cut would've looked fab for you. The more dramatic shorter layers seems more common when a stylist is more used to straight hair, BUT as you know it really only works with a much shorter cut like mine; with the longer cut it unfortunately makes the volume really wonky. If an inverted bob is an option to "solve" this cut, at least it's a very stylish option (she said not-so-biased as a gal with an inverted bob ). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/haircut-this-afternoon---how-short-should-i-go#post-910719 Thu, 18 Apr 2013 00:55:13 +0000 Transcona Shannon 910719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh no Astrid - are you sure it's as bad as you think? Obviously you want to go somewhere else to have it changed but I would still let the stylist know you &nbsp;are not happy with the cut and that this was not what you had discussed.&nbsp;
