I have been growing my hair out (collarbone length). just because I wanted a change - but I will return to short again, I’m sure.<br /> This pic is my shortest hair - pixie territory! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob/page/2#post-2061937 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:54:38 +0000 Anonymous 2061937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I debated a Brazillian Blowout for mine, it's expensive, but supposedly lasts 6 months. That's supposed to tame frizz and straighten, though the chemicals used may be dodgy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob/page/2#post-2061935 Wed, 18 Sep 2019 13:50:34 +0000 anchie 2061935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I am surprised that some of you like my long hair the best. This is somewhat encouraging. I never check YouTube tutorials but I made exception in this case. Was looking for some ideas how to improve frizz and style my type of hair. I don’t think I am any good at it, but will give it few weeks to see if it helps in any way. If situation doesn’t improve I will go for a haircut in Angie’s second set of pictures. Another problem is that I am not very happy with my hair dresser and would not trust her with this cut. This is also one of the reasons why I am so reluctant to hair change. I will have to find a new hair stylist which will not be easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob/page/2#post-2061727 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 19:14:45 +0000 rachylou 2061727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it!

But as others said, you need to feel good in your own haircut!</p> <p>My two cents: I have a hair texture like yours, and it's extra work, no doubt about it. There's not enough curl for it to be truly curly, but it's clearly not straight either. So you will need to spend extra time making your hair one or the other.</p> <p>I have worked with my natural texture for the last several years, but it involves special haircuts from a curly-hair specialist, and it is a lot of work with regard to product application and technique--much more than for straight hair. If you want something easy, my recommendation would be to wear your hair straight. You could achieve that either with a blow dryer (using a round brush as you blow dry) or with a flat iron (after the hair has dried). </p> <p>In case you find it of interest, I think that there are now tools on the market that are like curling brushes that you run through your hair when it is wet, and it dries the hair so it is straight--easier than using a round brush and a blow dryer. I can't remember what they are called, though.</p> <p>Wearing your hair straight will be a little more work when you wash your hair, but it should stay relatively maintenance free for a few days afterward. You could touch up unruly spots with a flat iron.</p> <p>As far as the length goes, I would get your hair chopped to shoulder length if you still like it long. Shoulder length is still very versastile.</p> <p>One last thought: I wonder if getting a keratin treatment would be helpful if you want low maintenance? I think keratin treatments make the hair straight for a few months, at which point they wear off. That might make things easier for you. I don't know much about keratin treatments, though, so you'll want to read up on them if you think it sounds helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob/page/2#post-2061524 Tue, 17 Sep 2019 02:28:21 +0000 smittie 2061524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also like your hair pulled back.

What I don’t like is the texture that is very frizzy with feathery layers. And I don’t like the amount of effort and products I have to use to make it looks less unkept. I like wash and go hair styles and currently this is not it.<br /> But I am checking the resources in Fashintern link - maybe there is a hope. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob#post-2061408 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 19:00:35 +0000 Style Fan 2061408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like Anchie's hair long too.&nbsp; I do like it shoulder length.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br />You have to be happy with it.&nbsp; I had a chin-length bob once.&nbsp; I hated it and grew it out immediately.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob#post-2061405 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 18:46:03 +0000 bella 2061405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, I actually like your hair long as well.

I seem to always be out in left field on the forum, but I like it best in today's pic. I like long hair, so I guess I'm biased.<br /> I'm not much for daily styling with a blow dryer/flat/curling iron myself, but most people have more skills and patience in that area.<br /> If you decide to stay wavy, the site FashIntern posted has great info on fighting frizz in wavy and curly hair.<br /> I do like the bob too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/me-in-a-short-bob#post-2061397 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 17:55:41 +0000 Janet 2061397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was thinking more just brushing shoulder length.</p> <p>I may be alone in this, but I think a chin-length bob is really hard to carry off unless you have a great chin and jawline. Why I will never ever ever have a chin-length bob! </p>
