Sometimes five but that's really too long. My hair grows fast... But my hair cut isn't expensive, so I can afford a cut once a month. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607868 Wed, 27 Jan 2016 04:27:05 +0000 Carla 1607868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's pic #2 has the same sweet face as you, and also similar hair texture.</p> <p>Have fun at the hairdressers! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607758 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 23:28:25 +0000 Helen11 1607758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Astrid, that does sound like easy styling in the morning. You need to keep up regular trims with a short cut, don't you. </p> <p>Aliona, thanks for the heads up about the super short sides. I'm not sure that i could get to the stylist every 2 weeks!</p> <p>Thanks for the pics, Angie. I have some length in the front to play with, so I will see what the hairdressers can work with. Tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607499 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 15:33:03 +0000 Angie 1607499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My pleasure, Helen.</p> <p>Most of these pixie cuts will work, but you'll need to grow out your fringe. Why don't you try something like this while you are growing it out. That's what I had to do! &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607440 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:49:26 +0000 Anonymous 1607440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weighing in late on the glasses, but agree with others. I like cuts 1 and 5 for you, they have slightly more length on the sides. Having just had a shaved look, I can attest that style grows in super fast and (for my speed-growth hair) necessitated a salon visit every 2 weeks. I also like your idea of going darker to contrast more with your new specs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607438 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:44:12 +0000 Astrid 1607438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the Robin Wright one - and can definitely see you like that! Although your bangs might not be long enough yet for the exact look? It's a bit difficult to tell from the pictures. My own pixie is very short overall in comparison, but that's mostly because I can't do the current "length in front" thing without a lot of work because of my naturally curly/wavy hair. The longer it gets the more difficult it is to get right. As short as it is now I only need some water in the morning and that's it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607431 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:17:05 +0000 Helen11 1607431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anyone like to make further suggestions?<br /> #1 seems to combine the shorter back, length in front, and darker. Maybe a little spiky?</p> <p>#2 is super short at the sides</p> <p>#3 plenty of length at the front, not sure if I can keep it that smooth.</p> <p>#4 I always find a photo of Robin Wright when I'm looking for hair ideas. I think my face shape is similar to hers.</p> <p>#5 with a more textured (?) fringe.<br /> Hmmm, none of these are really spiky.<br /> I'm sure the stylist will have an easier job if I take a picture or two with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607427 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 12:05:45 +0000 Helen11 1607427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Windchime, I did feel a bit rushed, having kids with me, too. But sometimes I can't make a decision if I have too much time. The optom assistant knows my professional role, so probably has a good idea of my usual look. Yes, hair will always grow again!</p> <p>CocoLion, spiky hair my well be easier for me to style each day, too.</p> <p>StyleFan, thanks for the host of confidence in my choice of frames.</p> <p>Brooklyn, my hair colour was new in pic 4. It fades so quickly between haircuts. Which is partly the reason I'd like to have more natural colour coming through. As for pretty? You're too kind!</p> <p>JAileen, short and spiky hair? I'm sensing a theme here : )</p> <p>Thank you all for your encouraging comments! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607426 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:59:28 +0000 Helen11 1607426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Donna, shorter is the plan now.</p> <p>Approprio, I hope to add some pixie ideas below.</p> <p>Astrid, your pixie cut is just perfect!</p> <p>AG, I think the frames are just new and shiny. For now! But it is special that they have my name on them, which we noticed after deciding : )<br /> I'm certainly taking Angie's suggestions on board. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607417 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 11:36:46 +0000 Helen11 1607417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>CocoC, thanks for the vote of confidence in my glasses. I think a shorter haircut is the go.</p> <p>Angie, I appreciate your comments so much. Thank you for the ideas re brows. I can see in the photos (more than I noticed IRL) that these frames cover more of my brows. I'll do a reshape at my hair appointment. Lippie is always a challenge for me, I will retrieve the darker shade from the back of the drawer!<br /> A pixie cut with length in front, like yours? Though my face is much more square than yours!</p> <p>Lisap, your short hair is fab. Thanks for the positive note on the gold.</p> <p>Sally, yes the gold colour works easily with everything. My hair does have curl, but just at the front, to make it tricky.</p> <p>Sochi62, I've been finding some pics of shorter 'dos.</p> <p>RL, I'm hopeless with the hairdresser. I don't even know the right terms to use to ask for what I want. I just gesture vaguely, and ask her to fix it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607318 Tue, 26 Jan 2016 03:18:26 +0000 Helen11 1607318@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone for your positive comments. I will try to find some hairstyle pictures, and check back in when I can reply in more detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607231 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 23:00:51 +0000 JAileen 1607231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like your new glasses. Go shorter. I like the spiky idea. If you don't like it you can always grow it back out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607219 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:25:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1607219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The new glasses look good. I am very unimaginative when it comes to hair but I think you could go shorter if you wanted to. I like the colour in pic 4, which appears to be a little darker than in the first pics? You have a very pretty face </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607217 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 22:20:03 +0000 Style Fan 1607217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the specs.&nbsp; I agree with the suggestion about defining eyebrows and some lipstick.&nbsp; I am also clueless about hair.&nbsp; No idea.&nbsp; I like&nbsp;your natural colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607197 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:50:08 +0000 CocoLion 1607197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm thinking a spiky hair do would look good with these. &nbsp;Current color looks good to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607177 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:29:18 +0000 Windchime 1607177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new glasses frames are very flattering. It IS hard to take time making a selection at the optometrist's, isn't it, especially if someone from their staff is hovering while you just want to be left alone to try and retry several options! </p> <p>Go for the shorter hair cut; after all, you can always grow it out again if you don't like it short. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607167 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:21:44 +0000 catgirl 1607167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the gold - it looks more rich than ordinary gold frames somehow.&nbsp; Is it a special finish?&nbsp; </p> <p>And love Angie's suggestions.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607164 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:20:18 +0000 Astrid 1607164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with the others on the pixie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607162 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 21:19:24 +0000 approprio 1607162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice frames.

Very cute (in a good way) and I think it would fit the glasses!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607075 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 19:18:10 +0000 Sal 1607075@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your new glasses are super, I love the shape and gold will be easy to work with.</p> <p>Your hair looks similar to mine, a gentle wave that is unpredictable. &nbsp;But it does look as though it could hold some volume. I think you could go shorter - you have a great face shape for it. &nbsp;Why not - it always grows back!! &nbsp;I do agree a little length in the front is a good thing to soften it slightly.</p> <p>Is your natural colour darker than the most recent pics? &nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway well done - you look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607023 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 16:02:07 +0000 Anonymous 1607023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie took the words right out of my mouth. &nbsp;You have a really pretty face and eyes, and could absolutely wear a shorter hairstyle. &nbsp;Your new glasses are so great! &nbsp;Love the gold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1607009 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 15:53:54 +0000 Angie 1607009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shape of your new specs. How about a little eyebrow definition and darker lippie, since your new specs are the same colour as your complexion. That way you will create a little contrast.&nbsp;</p> <p>I vote short pixie with length in front. I also like the natural colour of your hair.&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1606987 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 14:21:49 +0000 Cococat 1606987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your new glasses. You made a great choice even in a rush, and they don't look at all conservative to me. </p> <p>I like your hair now, but I think that shorter hair would really suit you as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-specs-time-for-new-hair#post-1606967 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 13:21:34 +0000 Helen11 1606967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently updated my glasses. I wear them most of the time. I was guided by the optometrist assistant, who steered me away from the olive and orange frames to these more conservative gold ones. I always say i will take more time choosing frames, as I wear them daily and they are so expensive, then do it in a rush anyway.<br /> So, with a slightly new look, I wonder if I should do something different with my hair. I would like to colour it less, that might mean going really short. ...could that work for my face shape?<br /> Boy, it's hard to take a photo with glasses!<br /> Any ideas and opinions appreciated.<br /> ETA pic 4 of old specs and haircut /colour a month prior. </p>
