I'd also like to sympathise with the plight of fine flyaway hair lol - it may not look it, but my hair is both fine &amp; thick (dense rather than each strand being thick). I frequently see many chic women in Hong Kong sporting the K-looks that <b>@Anna</b> linked to, but I agree that you need a certain hair type for it. </p> <p>I'm attaching my shorter haircut photos here, in case it inspires you to go in the 'longer' direction of short hairstyles. A long short hairstyle, if you will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/3#post-2122137 Wed, 20 May 2020 22:49:25 +0000 RD 2122137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>... and if you change your mind, there's always this :-)</p> <p>I am taking all 3 to my hairdresser next month.

All duly noted, and I'm pondering. I have lots of fun options :)</p> <p><b>Anna,</b> if I had heavy-thick-straight hair - I'd give those looks a go. But I have fine fly-away wispy hair, and have to work that into the styling decision unfortunately.</p> <p><b>Robin F</b>, FWIW, I think of the stacked back as timeless. All good! Remember, DYOT. I've had the short straight bangs before, and it suits me. But it's a mare to maintain. Grows fast and gets in the way of my specs. It's great in the wind and rain though......</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2122056 Wed, 20 May 2020 16:45:10 +0000 RobinF 2122056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Late to the party but I love #1. I'm a little confused about the negative comments regarding the stacked look - is it just not "in" or is there something I don't know about? Some negative connotations?</p> <p>Anyway, also loving the bangs looks and have considered bangs for myself but I know my tendency is to push them aside and the look is to have them straight down. Would that be an issue for you Angie?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2122037 Wed, 20 May 2020 15:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 2122037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna - this is my fav look right now too - super modern and different. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2122036 Wed, 20 May 2020 15:38:43 +0000 annagybe 2122036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a wild hair last night thinking about this while on call (pun intended) and thought about KPop style and Korean styles. Some of the pics are of the male KPop stars.<br /> I’ve been noticing some random chatter that Korea is becoming more influential style wise in Asia, more so than Japan.<br /> Japan seems to have stagnated in many ways<br /> And I went through Instagram </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2122015 Wed, 20 May 2020 13:01:57 +0000 Kyle 2122015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the clean, polished simplicity of 3 and 5.

I agree that now is a good time to consider changes that will check off all your boxes and also have few growing pains, if salons need to close again, or if appointments are further apart. Considering how a style will work with specs, weather and masks will be important.<br />&nbsp; I love pic #1. &nbsp;It is my fave of the bunch.<br />&nbsp;I am attaching a couple of photos that have similar features, but appear to have more length / &nbsp;volume in back and on the sides.<br />&nbsp; I am looking forward to seeing pics after your appointment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121984 Wed, 20 May 2020 08:52:33 +0000 Jenni NZ 2121984@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am very late too but I also liked #1. It looks the most similar to what you’ve already had, which I suppose makes you look the most like “you” to my eye, if that makes any sense.<br /> I like the idea of Greg helping to maintain the back if necessary! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121976 Wed, 20 May 2020 07:56:20 +0000 lyn67 2121976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All beautifull and very close to what you have now, Angie, but I can't wait to see the results&nbsp;(back of nape included, if we can ask-as I am per moment obsessed with doing it myself).</p> <p> Especially great when you'll make an before pictie right before-and the the after- Thank you!:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121972 Wed, 20 May 2020 07:33:08 +0000 Gigi 2121972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My faves are 1 and 3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121915 Tue, 19 May 2020 22:55:05 +0000 Style Fan 2121915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, you look fantastic in any hairstyle.&nbsp; Now I understand showing the ear.&nbsp; Structure. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121890 Tue, 19 May 2020 20:53:23 +0000 Angie 2121890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Nemosmom</b>!

If so, either could be a slam dunk! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-choose-a-new-hairstyle/page/2#post-2121865 Tue, 19 May 2020 20:00:03 +0000 Angie 2121865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina</b>, thank you!

I myself am ready to order some real hair-cutting shears and take off some length, but there is no real reason beyond my preference since it looks good as is (though the ends are getting a bit raggedy for my taste, no one else would notice). I suspect I won't be comfortable going to a hairdresser here before the fall.

Grows too fast. It’s good in the wind and rain though, and I’ve worn it before! I’ve had the Charize haircut, and it suits me. The upkeep is not COVID-19 friendly though, and I must take that into account.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b></b><b></b><b></b><b>Lisa P</b>, as<b> Kelly</b> and <b>Shievia</b> mentioned, hair behind my ears creates structure and neatness that I crave (I hope that makes sense?) - and I like my ears!</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Xtabay </b>- you are 100% right about the practicality of the cut that sweet <b>Sal</b> posted. And I love it! Thanks for the kind words.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Janet</b> - thanks for the kind words too! I like the look of a short back. It’s quite timeless to my eye and beautifully structured, although the upkeep is more extreme.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Anna, RunCarla and Lisa P</b> - I need a relatively sharp haircut that looks polished throughout the day. With my walking out in the elements lifestyle, wispy styles and my fine hair do not work. I’m happy to have a looser look - like I’ve had for a year - &nbsp;but not an unkempt look that makes me feel unpolished, IYKWIM. <b>Rachy</b> is dead right that "trendy messy" is not something I can happily wear. The short back keeps things neat and structured. A classic short pixie suits me too. But the upkeep of it at this COVID-19 stage is problematic.</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Elle, Taylor, Jaime, Laura, Suntiger, Kaelyn, RD, Deb, Kelly </b>- you all chose my original #1 for exactly the reasons that I like it best too. And Greg too, which means a lot to me. Thank you :)</li> </ul> <ul> <li><b>Preppy Pear</b> - thanks for the kind words! Yes, I’m attached to a side parting, although I have worn it parted in the middle too.&nbsp;</li> </ul> <p></div>Thanks again for helping me think this through! You guys rock. </p>
