She'd been giving me amazing asymmetric cuts, but still conservative. Or as she put it, "I hate to say it this way, but almost soccer mom." So now there's a more dramatic difference between shorter back and longer front. Have gotten lots of compliments since.</p> <p>ETA: Ooops, we cross-posted. Love the lip color, and I'm definitely Team Husband's Hairdresser. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1192671 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:55:09 +0000 pastrygirl 1192671@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all! I asked my husband about it and he thinks I should consult with his hairdresser, who used to also do my hair years ago, pre-pixie. Next time I'm tempted to grab my scissors, I'll make an appointment with him instead. Even if I want to grow it out, which I think I do, at least the front/sides, he might be able to make it look more modern in the in-between stages.</p> <p>Meanwhile, here's a try today with a bright lip, which Alicat suggested above. It definitely made me feel less blah! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1192614 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 18:56:53 +0000 AviaMariah 1192614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about something Sarah Jessica Parker-ish when she had shorter hair? &nbsp;I think it was in inverted bob. &nbsp;Or this shorter style worn by Jessica Simpson. </p> <p>I would think a hair stylist with curly hair experience could help you with the flatness on top as it grows out; with with the cut or styling products.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1192063 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 02:28:02 +0000 Carla 1192063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I posted a link to my Pinterest hair board on Sunday. I'm a curly girl, but am going shorter this year, and since I edit my board regularly to keep it around 50 pins, it reflects this change. You might want to check it out for visuals, however... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1192011 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 01:07:09 +0000 pastrygirl 1192011@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, I'm already in the middle if a style shift because I had to build a whole new (smaller) wardrobe starting last Sept. I'm finally starting to dress how I want to. But THAT could explain why I'm feeling so antsy about my hair! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191972 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 00:21:27 +0000 DonnaF 1191972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it now, but longer would be an interesting change BUT are you also ready for a (clothing) style shift?&nbsp; Significant hairstyle changes can do that. . . . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191873 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:30:37 +0000 Caro in Oz 1191873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love rae's 3rd pin too - something shorter in the back &amp; longer in the front would give the hair structure which would be a great contrast to the curls.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191868 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:16:45 +0000 Style Fan 1191868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team grow it longer.&nbsp; You have great hair.&nbsp; Flaunt it.&nbsp; Your eyes and smile are great too.&nbsp; Maybe try some long layers but I don't know much about curly hair.&nbsp; I do know having a hair stylist who understands your hair is very important.&nbsp; I travel 2 hours to get mine cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191758 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:23:48 +0000 t 1191758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have such fabulous hair!

There was someone before Ines too... I have to try and remember what her name was. Hair was longer on top, but still short... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191739 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 17:05:55 +0000 SandyG 1191739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your hair! Why not try really edgy hair accessories, like headbands or&nbsp;personal hair pins, and combine&nbsp;with earrings? That will give you more looks&nbsp;for your&nbsp;curly hair. Maybe you just want variety </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191595 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:53:54 +0000 elpgal 1191595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PG, Your hair is gorgeous. Serious hair envy here. I thought the same thing as Alicat to up the glam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191572 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:16:23 +0000 texstyle 1191572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE the 3rd pin that rae posted - that would be really pretty on you, but it does mean patiently growing out the front of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191571 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:13:54 +0000 lyn67 1191571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it as it is now! Very different!:-) (loved your pixie, too-and that was not a not a straight&nbsp; one, at all:-)) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191552 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:42:21 +0000 pastrygirl 1191552@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I love having short bangs, but seeing older pics makes me miss longer/no bangs. </p> <p>Alicat, I was thinking of maybe changing up my makeup. I usually do a darker eye and nude lip, but maybe a bright lip is in order! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do/page/2#post-1191541 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:30:53 +0000 Anonymous 1191541@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your hair as is. &nbsp;How about a bright or red lipstick to change things up?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191508 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:58:42 +0000 Janet 1191508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sympathize -- I always wonder how to deal with my waves (at least they've now softened to waves than the frizzy curls that plagued me in my teenage years). I usually end up taming them to some degree because my hair just seems to behave better when I do that -- it gets too unpredictable when I let it go wild. One moment it will look fine, and then I look in the mirror a little while later and realize I have some sort of weird lumpy or crazy bit sticking out somewhere. Sigh.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think the pixie looked really cute on you, but I'd also be curious to see it a bit longer and shaped with layers so you don't get the flat on top, wide on bottom look (which I am very familiar with myself, as I'm sporting it right now -- I have an appointment with the salon today!). Maybe keeping some wispy bangs/fringe too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191406 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 05:43:15 +0000 Jeanie 1191406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Rae's 3rd Pin with the wedge in the back. &nbsp;You would look fabulous in that stye! &nbsp;Love your curls. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191342 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:34:04 +0000 Jaime 1191342@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I love your hair - it reminds me of my youth ;-). It is gorgeous long but I like some of the shorter lengths too and truthfully, you look adorable right now. Not a lot of help but I am cheering for your curls! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191322 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:07:48 +0000 Sveta 1191322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer your hair longer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191318 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 03:03:42 +0000 Gigi 1191318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would vote for growing it out. Like you say, if you go much shorter, you lose the curl, and I think if you try for an in-between length (between what you have now and shoulder length), it will just be difficult. I think that bobs with curly hair can be difficult to manage. FWIW, I think your hair is beautiful, and I liked how it looked in your pic where you showed how you had grown it out. I don't think that the top being flatter when your hair was longer looked bad at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191252 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 02:10:11 +0000 SarahTheWhite 1191252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw your photo, my first thought was of Julia Ormond in Sabrina. I looked it up, and I'm not sure that the shape is as a great as I remember (first photo) so I found another one of her in short hair with a different shape -#2. I also love Jenna Elfman's hair in photo #3 but that would take a little growing out,,, just some ideas... (PS I love your curls and I love even more that you want to keep them!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191210 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 01:42:34 +0000 shiny 1191210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it just the way it is. A uniquely flattering signature cut.&nbsp;</p> <p>You look great with it&nbsp;long or short, but how many people can carry off and look so awesome in this length? Not many, but you do.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191190 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 01:22:11 +0000 adorkable 1191190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for pixie, but then we're close to hair twins and I like mine very short! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191174 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 01:02:34 +0000 Greyscale 1191174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like Rae's links. I think that would work well. Your hair has great texture and volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191102 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 23:55:14 +0000 claire 1191102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are really close to hair twins, mine might be a little coarser though, and redder. I've also been no poo and following cg for years, which makes all the difference. I've been everything from pixie to mid back length and everything in between. I recently cut it to a just above the shoulder inverted bob. I have a great guy who does curly cuts and I love this length. It's not super stacked in the back, I didn't want anything too drastic, but there's a definite inverted line with nice length in the front to keep the curls in check and it gives me a little style, maybe even a teeny little bit of edge instead of just a mess of curls. So maybe an inverted bob would work for you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191060 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 23:28:27 +0000 Liz A. 1191060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think out there for curly hair doesn't really translate in the same way as an edgy straight cut.&nbsp; Believe me, I lusted after so many of those, and they just never really worked out.&nbsp; Even when they looked great straight, they didn't look so great curly.&nbsp; The one excpetion is maybe a really exaggerated layered bob.&nbsp; Anyways, your hair looks curlier than mine, so maybe you could go for my all time favorite look, which is <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/82261130666723823/" rel="nofollow">really big hair</a>! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-hair-is-there-anything-i-can-do#post-1191054 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 23:15:59 +0000 pastrygirl 1191054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, I've been following the no-poo method for at 8 years, maybe more. It's made a WORLD of difference with my hair! I've found a few hairdressers nearby that work pretty well with curly hair... they're just very boring styles. I just want a look that's a little "out there" but no one ever knows how to do something like that. </p>
