It looks especially good in #19. Babies can have grabby hands and that length looks great worn loose but looks long enough to wear up or pulled back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380600 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 03:13:27 +0000 Jeanie 1380600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you hair looks cute when it's just below your chin as it #12. &nbsp;I like the color in #6 which is a mix of highlights and low lights which would look good on you. &nbsp;And maybe do something edgy like #9 for a change. &nbsp;You might have to ask your hair stylist if you need to incorporate bangs or a side bang into the look to work with your features. &nbsp;&nbsp;And you could always style it like #10 with some waves. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380596 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:54:36 +0000 abc 1380596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You echoed my thoughts exactly on prep time and shorter vs longer. I think you're on your way to being prepared for your next appt. Glad we and many of the same pics, I'd like to think we have good taste in hair </p> <p>Ps my hair seems very similar to yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380594 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 02:51:23 +0000 Anonymous 1380594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the last person to talk about bangs but, the pics of you and most of the inspiration pictures the bangs are pushed to the side. Almost pseudo-bangs creating a line from the brow to the hairline. What about a more true bang, something like picture #7? The line goes across the brow - creating more focus on the eyes, less on the forehead. I do hesitate to suggest this because I have no history with bangs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380500 Wed, 22 Oct 2014 00:36:18 +0000 Sal 1380500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a link to my pinterest board...<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/sally_kerr/hairstyles/">http://www.pinterest.com/sally_kerr/hairstyles/</a></p> <p>My hair was shorter so some of the pics reflect that. &nbsp;I don't have a lot of recent photos but will take a look and post them if I do. &nbsp;I agree that longer hair will be easier with a baby.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380413 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:46:15 +0000 AviaMariah 1380413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Caro - thanks for your input. &nbsp;#15 may be darker. &nbsp;That's the oldest picture I think. &nbsp;I've had it all shades of blond. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380410 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 21:38:04 +0000 Caro in Oz 1380410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the just below chin lengths - they look more modern imo. Not sure if your hair is actually darker in #13 but I love the depth of colour in that photo - it looks great with your skin tone. Love the last photo too - you all look fab </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380360 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:29:15 +0000 AviaMariah 1380360@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>abc - I have a lot of the same pins as you do on your shoulder length board. &nbsp;Also I guess I didn't really answer your question about time. &nbsp;Although I'd love to spend 5 minutes on my hair every day and have it look fab, I don't think that's going to happen. &nbsp;But I don't want to spend more time that I already do (or should). &nbsp;That being said you have helped my answer the question that I probably don't want to go as short as jaw length because I found that I had to spend more time on my hair at that length; the waves and cowlicks went wild! &nbsp;Also, with baby coming I think it's important that I can pull it back in a pony tail. &nbsp;I'm kind of leaning toward #2, 3, or 5; some longer layers in front like Elly said. &nbsp;I just have to decide on the bangs. &nbsp;But that is today. &nbsp;I actually don't have an appointment for another 6 weeks I could change my mind multiple times!! &nbsp;Thanks for your help and any more thoughts you have. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380349 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 20:16:07 +0000 AviaMariah 1380349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>abc - like I said to Suz I think that sometimes it's not that I'm not happy with my current hair I just get tired of styling it and start thinking if I had the "perfect" cut I could wash and go. &nbsp;Unfortunately, I don't think I have that kind of hair! &nbsp;I really don't spend a lot of time on it now. &nbsp;When I I wash it I probably spend 30 (45 at most) minutes drying and curling or straightening it. &nbsp;But I don't wash my hair every day. &nbsp;When it's a little shorter than it is now, I can go at least 3 days without washing. &nbsp;So on those days I spend 10 minutes on my hair. &nbsp;At it's longer length now I can really only go about 2 days and have it still look good. &nbsp;Here's my pinterst board. &nbsp;I'll look through yours too!&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/avia_thompson/hair/">http://www.pinterest.com/avia_thompson/hair/</a><br />Ummlila &amp; Kiwigal&nbsp;- I'm going to look through your posts to see if you have hair pics.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380334 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 19:55:00 +0000 Sal 1380334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks similar to mine, thick and wavy....but a little unpredictable. Fine but lots of it. Mine can look wonderful, but I have to style it. I have also seen a couple of these styles and liked them especially the Diana Agron from Glee pic.</p> <p>Mine is currently in a bob, but I have found the easiest is either short so it takes only five minutes to style, or longer so I can put it in a pony when in a rush. If I don't have longer layers my hair gets quite wild, but shorter layers don't work too well. If in a bob I need to have it higher than my shoulders otherwise it gets very kinked at the bottom. I am enjoying the bob but mostly go for a slightly casual style during the day - I rarely straighten it. </p> <p>The fun thing with hair is that of course you can experiment and it grows back so if you want a change I say just go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380324 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 19:39:15 +0000 abc 1380324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>BTW do you happen to have a pinterest board with the inspiration&nbsp;pics on it? &nbsp;Bc I like many of them and have a couple of boards going myself that I'd like to pin some of yours to. &nbsp;Here are mine in case they may help:<br />short<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/angelabcarlton/short-haircuts/">http://www.pinterest.com/angel.....-haircuts/</a></p> <p>shoulder length<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/angelabcarlton/shoulder-length-hair/">http://www.pinterest.com/angel.....ngth-hair/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380320 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 19:37:07 +0000 abc 1380320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm wondering if the amount of time you have (or will have) to style is a factor in the decision. &nbsp;Because I know for me it would be with a little one on the way. &nbsp;Let us know how you feel about styling time commitments and then I will weigh in more </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380261 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:41:38 +0000 AviaMariah 1380261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz - thanks for the thoughts. &nbsp;Yes, my forehead is always why I think I need bangs but they are definitely too thick right now so I need to grown some of them out. &nbsp;Remember the "now" picture is a photo shoot so my hair is looking its best and there is probably some photo-editing going on. &nbsp;If it looked like that way every day I'd be happy. &nbsp;I think sometimes I just get lazy fixing my hair and then think I need to change when in fact I just need to spend a little more time on it. &nbsp;Oh the elusive wash-and-go style!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380246 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:21:55 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1380246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That family picture out in the grass is so nice! I think we have some similar issues with hair and have tried a lot of different hair styles. I could see the 8 picture of Reese Witherspoon looking very nice on you ... but&nbsp;I always like the look of bangs, but they annoy me in practice and end up getting tucked behind my ear. I also hate it when my hair looks totally flat on top -- I feel like it looks like I have a square head or something. Lately I switched from a longer layered cut to a long bob. I don't dislike it but don't love it either .... I thought it would look more fashion forward than it does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380245 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 18:21:18 +0000 Suz 1380245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I feel completely inexpert here. I think you look great as you are! And I like so many of the inspiration pictures. I do think the cuts that Elly mentions are very lovely.&nbsp;</p> <p>OTOH, you have a higher or at least rounder forehead than the models in those pics (from what I can tell) and if you want to draw more attention to your beautiful eyes and cheekbones some sort of bang would seem the way to go. I also hear you on the upkeep of that and the nuisance of long bangs in the face. I used to have that issue when I had longer hair also.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380165 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:32:29 +0000 AviaMariah 1380165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Elly for the explanation. &nbsp;I would never have guessed that #5 is is stacked in the back. &nbsp;I try to take pictures to my hairdresser but I find I don't have the "words" to describe what I'm seeing. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380155 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:17:06 +0000 Elly 1380155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 2, 4 and 5 the best. I find a cheek hollow or jaw length bang the easiest to keep out of my face (can always tuck behind the ear at work!). 2, 4&nbsp;and 5 are all fairly similar although 5 is stacked in the back, which works really nicely with fine hair. It isn't about no layers, but more about very long layers around the perimeter -- blunt cuts either look amazing or fall flat but with as much hair as you have are going to be very "BOB" or "LOB".&nbsp;Something with a bit less volume on top than what you are currently doing (but with plenty of body and movement) might be a little more fresh looking.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-decide-what-to-do-with-my-hair-lots-of-pics#post-1380149 Tue, 21 Oct 2014 16:08:52 +0000 AviaMariah 1380149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like hair has been a hot topic lately so I thought I'd jump in. &nbsp;I've had some sort of the same variation of haircut in the last many years; layers cut in, and length anywhere from chin to collar bone length. &nbsp;I've had no bangs, short to the eyebrow bangs, long side bangs, wispy bangs and thicker bangs. &nbsp;When I found out I was pregnant this time I figured it was the perfect time to grow out some bangs and layers. &nbsp;Well so much for planning because so far my hair has grown slower than usual not faster!! &nbsp;I really haven't had a definite plan for what I wanted to do but I have been drawn to some cuts that have no or less layers. &nbsp;I'm also really unsure whether I want bangs or not. &nbsp;I would love some input! &nbsp;I'm including some photos I've collected for inspiration (I have a ton more) and I've also tried to find some pics of me with the different variations of length etc. &nbsp;Some info: my hair is fine but I have a lot of it. &nbsp;It's neither curly nor straight but curls &amp; straightens easily. &nbsp;Whatever cut I have I like to be able to wear it either way. &nbsp;I do not like my hair to be "flat" at the crown which is my biggest fear in going with no layers. &nbsp;Also, side bangs are very challenging to me because I have a hard time keeping them out of my face at my desk job. &nbsp;I'll take any suggestions; even ones I haven't considered!! &nbsp;Sorry for the amount of pictures! &nbsp;(the last one with DH &amp; DD in the tall grass was taken this weekend so that's where I'm currently at). </p>
