It reminds me of actress Teri Hatcher's 'do when she was on the Superman TV series. Talk about stylish!</p> <p>I've been thinking of getting mine chopped as well. I can identify with feeling like you have to "keep up" with women who have long, beautiful hair. The problem is, my hair doesn't look all that amazing at a longer length. I need to just accept that and move on.</p> <p><b>Viva,&nbsp;</b>your comment about hair at a certain length making you feel less like yourself really resonated with me! I've had my hair pretty short for most of my life, and in the past couple of years, I've decided to let it grow for the first time. At first it was great, but I have found that once it gets past my shoulders, it decidedly no longer feels like "me." Time to schedule a chop! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1881106 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 23:28:14 +0000 gryffin 1881106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh TG - I must be completely honest. If you are not the prettiest one of your friends then I'm gobsmacked. There are so many wonderful women on this forum that I consider really beautiful. I'm not beautiful. When you make, collectively, negative comments I'm just speechless. Just proving comparison is deadly. Your haircut is fantastic. You are young, elegant, and stylish with a warmth, intelligence, kindness and humor that comes through in all your posts. So please look again and see the beautiful reflection the rest of us see. Honestly I'd love to be as pretty as you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1881091 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 22:19:41 +0000 unfrumped 1881091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulously cut- you have the hair and bond structure for this! I agree you could even go s tag shirter but you’ll know more about that after “ living with” this length- how it moves and ease of styong, because sometimes you need enough length and weight for it to work.<br /> You look very young to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1881027 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 18:09:50 +0000 oceandreams27 1881027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I love the honest thoughts, but I guarantee some of the other moms are checking you out thinking, boy I wish I were stylish like her. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880976 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 16:11:26 +0000 Jaime 1880976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and stylish! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880963 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 15:53:52 +0000 Summer 1880963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand your reservations about going shorter, but your new bob is absolutely gorgeous!&nbsp; You look very chic and polished.</p> <p><b>JackieC -</b> so lovely to see you!&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880897 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:22:12 +0000 Anonymous 1880897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super! I LOVE this length. It is On-trend TG! Very polished, sleek and definitely YOU. It is not a severe bob, if that’s what you were afraid of.</p> <p>I cut my hair this length a while back, but mine is PUFFY—not the right look </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880889 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 13:03:56 +0000 viva 1880889@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TG, I love your haircut! And, I think you could go shorter too. :)</p> <p>I can completely relate to mom-hair anxiety. As a short-hair person for decades, that fear crops up ALL THE TIME. But for a variety of reasons I can't grow my hair out, and the main reason is, every time I start to let it grow I feel less like me. Mom-hair be damned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Following your inner voice to do what's right for you is always the best way (although it can be hard) -- and really, from an objective bystander, what's right for you is absolutely beautiful.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880881 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 12:53:38 +0000 Helena 1880881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the tips Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880807 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 05:05:04 +0000 Anonymous 1880807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks perfect for this cut. I hope it turns out easy for you. Mine is about this length most of the time, a bit shorter after a cut. I swear by a big1"-1.5" hot roller brush for a quick shaping if needed, or a quick lift and smooth with the flat iron. Different looks but having different looks can be fun. DDIL does great little braids on the side in front or a French braid diagonally across her head with the same length straight hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition/page/2#post-1880783 Sat, 20 Jan 2018 03:03:31 +0000 Helena 1880783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for your kind, kind words.

It is fresh and polished and very flattering. If my hair weren't so fine and thin, I would shoot for something like this. </p> <p>Thanks for the reminder to be better about keeping my hair neat and not wait too long between appointments (my re-embraced pixie is at 8 weeks and showing every minute) - I just asked and my hairdresser can squeeze me in tomorrow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition#post-1880712 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 22:56:25 +0000 Toban 1880712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it!

This kind of classic cut is ageless, IMHO. </p> <p>I can’t pull off a short bob because of my coarse, wavy hair texture (I have pictures from 1990 to prove it, yuck!). And I need bangs because my forehead is so full of lines (“bangs before Botox” as a friend of mine says). </p> <p>Fortunately, I truly believe that long hair can be stylish, and short hair can be stylish. The style is not in the length, it’s in the cut and the styling. Yours looks fantastic like this, so embrace and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition#post-1880667 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 20:21:15 +0000 Cardiff girl 1880667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair looks gorgeous.I don’t know who you are comparing yourself with but remember with ours selves we always focus on our perceived faults whereas we tend to view other people more as a whole .I bet that you are just as lovely as any of your friends.Enjoy your new hairdo! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition#post-1880663 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 20:04:18 +0000 columbine(erin) 1880663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you have really beautiful skin.

The other women will be jealous and most likely follow suit after seeing you.</p> <p>When I turned 40 I cut my below shoulder length hair very short. My DH was nervous and did not want me to do it, but I did. He loved it and I never looked back. I have kept it short/pixie for 20 years. At times I contemplate growing it out, but I love the freedom,&nbsp; the sexy messiness (yes even at my age!), and the ease of styling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/inviting-emotion-into-my-style---hair-addition#post-1880649 Fri, 19 Jan 2018 19:17:28 +0000 rachylou 1880649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your hair is beautiful!
