I think the styling and the different layers helps it to look very feminine, but spunky and fun, and holy cow does it frame your face well. Your haircuts keep getting better and better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-337053 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 13:16:23 +0000 Barbara 337053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>anne, I think your hair is gorgeous! You do look beautiful and feminine in your photo. As others have suggested, play around with styling products and you'll find that short hair can be VERY versatile.</p> <p>Show off your lovely neck with funky earrings and play with makeup. BONUS: with that great cut, you will NEVER have a bad hair day!</p> <p>I've had ultra short hair for 20 years - it's my signature style - and I usually wear it spiked with Got 2 be 'glued.' Very fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-337039 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 12:07:43 +0000 anne 337039@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again - esp to Becky (will do some experimenting) and Julie. I tried it with no spikes and straighter, with wax today, and like it a little better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336660 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 19:47:17 +0000 RoseandJoan 336660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new haircut is really lovely Anne, I with recommend playing around with the styling until you find what you are most happy with, I have worn my shorter do straightened, wavy and messed with wax and feel most me with no product and blown straight. </p> <p>You in no way could ever look masculine!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336637 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:48:43 +0000 Becky 336637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, this is a fun and spunky look on you. Not masculine at all. But I can relate to the fear of looking too boyish. I always worry I'll not have enough hair to offset my strong jaw and shoulder line (like you). Compare pics of yourself with different haircuts (at near the same weight, if possible, as I've found just a bit of a weight change can make my face look very different) and see which one looks the most flattering. Which one feels the most like you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336633 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:37:15 +0000 sarah 336633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, jeez, I LOVE YOUR NEW HAIRCUT!!!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336626 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 18:25:34 +0000 Lynne 336626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top layers are actually quite long, Anne, I don't see this as masculine at all! You have great features for a short cut - stand tall and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336569 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:09:43 +0000 chewyspaghetti 336569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's cute!<br /> Lipstick and earrings always helps keep it looking feminine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336537 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:03:10 +0000 anne 336537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all!</p> <p>Nancylee - I just wanted to try it out - okay secretly I think I wanted to look like Angie - but I have a square jaw and square shoulders. This photo was a fairly flattering one but it looks worse from other angles.</p> <p>Perhaps I just need to get used to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336532 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:00:58 +0000 Queen Mum 336532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh Anne~ this is a great cut on you. I don't find it masculine at all. I love how you've spiked it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336528 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:55:08 +0000 Angie 336528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic, Anne! Spunky and hip! You go girl :)</p> <p>As someone who has very short hair, I find that I need to spike the front in just the right way for it to look soft and girly. I also do not spike at all if my outfit is quite masculine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336497 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:04:29 +0000 Anonymous 336497@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you look so cute in that cut and not at all masculine. Try big earrings and wear some lipstick if you are concerned. You remind me a bit of TXAnn from Austin who hasn't posted for awhile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336477 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 13:50:47 +0000 Lisa 336477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the new haircut, I wouldn't worry about wearing overly feminine items to offset the short hair. It is very sexy and lady like as is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336459 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:57:46 +0000 Anonymous 336459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that cut on you! You will get so many compliments your worries will be over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336456 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 12:28:50 +0000 nancylee 336456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your new haircut is cool, and not at all masculine. You look confident and fashionable. I've had both long and short hair, and I think one of the keys to feeling comfortable with very short hair is believing that the cut truly reflects your personality. Does it feel like 'you'? </p> <p>That said, sometimes it takes a while to get accustomed to a short haircut. Something in you led you to take this leap, so maybe this is the direction you want to go....but you aren't quite comfortable with it just yet? I'd give it a while and see how it feels. It'll be interesting to see if your clothing style changes to better show off the new hair. </p> <p>I vote yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336433 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 07:56:25 +0000 rute 336433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cut! The secret is to use make-up and girly clothes! The mix boy hair and girly clothes is lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336432 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 07:50:29 +0000 Aunty 336432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is nothing masculine about that cut, you look gorgeous!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336420 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 06:38:14 +0000 sophiespal 336420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I had very short hair for about 5 years and last August started growing it out. It is getting there finally.</p> <p>For me, I always felt more feminine when I wore makeup (which I wear to work everyday) and a necklace (I can't wear earrings). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336408 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:53:31 +0000 Sheila 336408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific, feminine, interesting and sassy. NOT masculine, got that??? Give yourself some time to get used to looking at yourself in the mirror...meanwhile you'll be soaking up compliments from everyone about your great new style. Soon you will love it, especially the low-maintenance aspect of very short hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336407 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:44:50 +0000 Ginkgo 336407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is vey flattering on you and you definitely look feminine! I understand your worries because I'm tall and the last time I had very short hair a couple of years ago I got very sensitive about looking too masculine, think it's because my weird head is shaped longer than round. But your cut is stylish and feminine. I like the earrings in your picture, long but unobtrusive and not too much with your glasses.</p> <p>This haircut is a winner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336402 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:30:13 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 336402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne, you look adorable. I don't think you have to worry about looking masculine at all! If you feel you need to play up your feminine side, just do your makeup every day, big necklaces, etc. You could try going for 'lady like' in pearls and whatnot.</p> <p>I always worry that I look masculine too. Half the time I don't do my makeup and I have tattoos. But then I remember my size. Er, boyish perhaps, but not masculine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336401 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:27:54 +0000 CK 336401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's very cute! You don't look masculine at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336396 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:19:31 +0000 Julie 336396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, are you the hott chic with the short hair!! Welcome to the short hair club for women, not to be confused with the hair club for men.</p> <p>I don't think you need to worry about looking masculine; just look at your features! You pull this off extremely well. You should use the time before your next trim to plan on going shorter.</p> <p>Julie </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336395 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:18:13 +0000 catgirl 336395@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot - I wish I looked this feminine in short hair. I don't think you need to worry, Anne. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336393 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:15:51 +0000 Girl X 336393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I think the cut is really cute, and you don't look masculine at all. Wear ruffles and frills if you want to of course, but you certainly won't need to. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-short-short-hairstyle-and-how-not-to-look-masculine#post-336391 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 05:11:47 +0000 anne 336391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is my new haircut. It is really short and I am not sure I like it. I think I'll go long now.<br /> What do you think? Vote<br /> In the meantime am trying to look feminine - breaking out the ruffles etc<br /> Other suggestions welcome too </p>
