I have very very short hair and I'm 21. I love it and I think it actually suits my age as well as it is a playful funky style. </p> <p>Generally I pay a visit to my hairdresser once a month for a haircut. I'm currently stretching that at the moment as I need to pay off my debts but I'm only stretching it to 5 or 6 weeks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-72319 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 02:01:54 +0000 Kari 72319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De, I also want to add not to be concerned about the age factor. I am biased; I sported short hair (not quite as short as Taylor and Angie suggest to you, but close) at age 15 and again at 22, loved it, and felt very feminine and playful.<br /> Tassajara is also young and has very short hair, and she looks awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-72265 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 17:36:42 +0000 De 72265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much, Taylor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-72172 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:32:36 +0000 Angie 72172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Halleluiah, Taylor! That’s precielsy what I have in my head for De. Now run with it De! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-72145 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 20:51:07 +0000 taylor 72145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh goodness De, </p> <p>If you were my client I would have you in something very edgy. </p> <p> Short w/a focus on framing your face and those beautiful soulful eyes. Lots of texture and definitely a choppy bang,w/ shorter layers on top. A little Winnona Ryder , years ago, when she was very short..... only edgier! You could pull it off very well...just depends on your comfort level:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-72099 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:16:41 +0000 De 72099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know short hair needs to be frequently cut to maintain its shape. With my current haircut I usually start to feel terrible by the 4th week (which is probably where I'm at now), and it isn't very short. </p> <p>Due to my financial circumstances (I'm merely a student!), I have always tried "stretching" it to 8 weeks. I suppose 5/6 weeks won't be that bad...Ideally, I'd have a haircut every 3 weeks as Taylor recommended!</p> <p>Alright gals, I think you've definitely convinced me to go shorter. If things don't work out, I can always resort to a longer style and try curling it as rute and san suggested.</p> <p>Taylor, as a stylist, do you have any short hairstyle suggestions for wavy hair? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71924 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:55:46 +0000 Angie 71924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for chiming in, Taylor. I have my hair cut every 5 weeks too (you know how short it is). I actually love maintaining it so frequently because it always feels fab once you’ve had a haircut. I guess it’s more expensive though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71922 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:50:11 +0000 Laura 71922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De, I am excited that you might go for a shorter cut! You have wonderful facial features for a short 'do. My hair is super short, and I go every 6 weeks, sometimes a tad longer, but by then it's looking pretty shaggy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71917 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:38:25 +0000 taylor 71917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De,</p> <p>Keep in mind that hair grows about 1/2 inch per month, sometimes more. Your haircut looses it's shape in that time. Short hair,(to MAINTAIN it's style ) must be re-shaped every 3 to 5 weeks...6 max </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71870 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 21:25:22 +0000 De 71870@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks sinead!<br /> I like that look. It's similar to what my hair looks like right after a haircut. To maintain that sort of style I guess I'd have to do something to tame the sides, but that seems inevitable!</p> <p>One thing I'd like to ask the short-haired ladies on this forum is how frequently do they get their hair cut? Less than 6 weeks between sessions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71725 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:29:48 +0000 sinead 71725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm- don't know if my link worked- I'll try another. but maybe you saw her pic in San and Tarzy's post? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71724 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:28:33 +0000 sinead 71724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De- I think you look similar to Ines de la Fresange and would look great in her haircut. Here's a link Tarzy posted:<a href="http://i387.photobucket.com/albums/oo313/tarzyYLF/InesdelaFressange.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i387.photobucket.com/al.....ssange.jpg</a></p> <p>What do you think of that? I've seen her style it with less "poof" on top, but still full on top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71670 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:58:17 +0000 De 71670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alright then, shorter hair wins. I'll have to start searching for styles I like. Any suggestions are always welcome!<br /> I'll get my hair cut around mid-July (because I cut it recently, believe it or not!), and then I'll post a few pictures here so you can evaluate the outcome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71590 Thu, 11 Jun 2009 00:27:45 +0000 Angie 71590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome, De! Thanks for posting a picture.</p> <p>I 100% believe that you need a shorter haircut. Your hair is begging for it! I don’t mean to sound un-empathetic about your concerns, but go for it. This will really work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71534 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:56:43 +0000 Lena 71534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De, I'm not an expert at this at all, just wanted to chime in that you would look great with short(er) hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71508 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 19:47:58 +0000 Chi-TownLove 71508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm relatively new to the forum but I'm going to jump in here! I am also quite young (27) and have naturally curly hair that can be pretty hard to control (especially in the midwest humidity). Last year I got what I would call a "slightly longer pixie" cut (no clue if that's an accurate title!) AND LOVED IT. Everyone also complained to me when I said I was cutting it shorter (in the 6 months prior to that I went from 3/4 of the way down my back to above my shoulder!) but once they saw it, they loved it too. After having long hair for soooooo long, it was very liberating. Best of all, I didn't have to use hardly any product after a couple weeks of "training" it with a tiny bit of hair wax---I think it can be a very good cut for untamed curly hair because that urge to curl gives your short hair great texture and definition. </p> <p>My cut was based off of these pictures: <a href="http://shgirls.blogspot.com/2008/09/brittany-daniel-short-hair.html" rel="nofollow">http://shgirls.blogspot.com/20.....-hair.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71485 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:45:08 +0000 Sarah 71485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De, I had a pixie cut in college and found it to be quite appropriate and easy to maintain with that hectic schedule. People winced until after they saw the cut, and warmed up to it. I'd do the cut again now (age 27) but I don't think it balances me out as well now.<br /> And hair always grows back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71484 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:42:35 +0000 De 71484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all your comments (and compliments)!</p> <p>sarbear1121, I have considered having my hair cut much shorter, but I'm reluctant (i.e. afraid) to do so because:<br /> 1. Most of the people I know either complain it is already too short and/or hate when I suggest an even shorter haircut.<br /> 2. I'm quite young so I'm not sure if it wouldn't look a bit inappropriate?<br /> 3. Would it be too difficult to maintain?</p> <p>rute, I find your suggestions funny because I have been thinking about those two options lately! I would either cut my hair even shorter (especially in the back), or grow the sides out so I could wear it wavy without it looking as weird as it does now.</p> <p>san, you also suggested using products to bring out the waves. The only problem with this is that I don't like the idea of using loads of chemical products in my hair every single day; I haven't used any hair products in yeaaaars. I do think it's a better alternative to using a flat-iron everyday though, so I'll definitely consider it. Do you (or Rute) have any product suggestions? I mean, both of you have curly/wavy hair, and I would love to know what you use on a daily basis to manage it.</p> <p>About the center part... Yes, I know it's terrible. I actually have it parted slightly off center, but you obviously can't notice the difference, hehe. I guess I'll have to experiment with this, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71444 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 16:46:33 +0000 Anonymous 71444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are very pretty and it looks to me like your face shape could handle just about any hair do you'd like. I think you are very fortunate to be so pretty and have Wavy hair. I'd like to see you get some products for curly hair to enhance the curl. When your hair is towel dried, without rubbing, apply the products and scrunch and arrange the curls with your fingers, allow to air dry. Try to avoid the center part by flopping the top hair off to the side and pulling some strands down for fringe. After it is dry you might want to mess with it with your hands or a hair pick. Go with those curls. You're beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71432 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:27:20 +0000 Sarah 71432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you considered even shorter? Like Ana or Angie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71431 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 15:25:08 +0000 rute 71431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi De!</p> <p>First let me say I do not know much about hair.. I think you could do one of these suggestions:<br /> - Let it grow a little and do a curly bob (your hair is wavy and you just need to use a little of foam for curly hair);<br /> - or do a shorter cut (like Meg Ryan, just put in the google meg ryan haircut) and use a little gel,</p> <p>but I will leave the final word to Angie.. cause I'm no expert.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71411 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:56:14 +0000 Debora 71411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De - I agree with Kimlee. Just wanted to add that your eyes are GORGEOUS!!!!</p> <p>I think you look fantastic in short hair. Have you ever tried an off-center part? Can't wait to hear what the experts on the forum have to say! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71408 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:44:30 +0000 kimlee 71408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>De - I am not the person to be giving hair advice, I will leave that to the other ladies. I just wanted to comment and say that I disagree with your statement that you aren't photogenic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-for-my-hair#post-71378 Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:59:50 +0000 De 71378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello everyone.</p> <p>Angie's blog post has inspired many people to reevaluate their hairstyle... I'm one of them! Both my hair and face are parts of myself that kind of annoy me and it would be very helpful if I could at least have a good hairstyle. </p> <p>I used to have long hair, but I found I just couldn't manage it well. It's very full and wavy, so my thin face kind of got lost in it! I then tried a shorter style, and it would work well IF my hair wasn't so wavy and undisciplined in certain parts. So basically, it doesn't work. </p> <p>Here are two pictures that show what I mean (I'm sorry, I'm not a very photogenic person):<br /> <a href="http://s595.photobucket.com/albums/tt34/de_ylf/hair/" rel="nofollow">http://s595.photobucket.com/al....._ylf/hair/</a><br /> (password: youlookfab)</p> <p>This first pic gives you an idea of what my face shape is like, and both show you just how messy it can look. </p> <p>I just don't know what to do with my hair. I'm pretty clueless about what kind of hairstyle would work with my hair and face, because nothing seems to work. :(</p> <p>I'm open to any suggestions you'd like to make, so comment away! </p>
