Thanks Ramya! People always love my long hair and when I cut it off they're all - wow, look at your face!
:You look fab with the new do. Nice choice.

This is a great length on you, and the type of cut should give you style and versatility as it grows, if you decide you you don't want to keep it as is for a while.

I love this cut, since the long lengths around the face provide a 'long hair' look and feel, but the super short back gets the hair off the nape (great for summer) and showcases a pretty neck. You can change the look by changing where you put the part as well.

My Pinterest hair inspiration page is full of pics of this type of cut.

I think this cut looks good! Perfect for summer!

It was worth the wait for the photo, you look lovely!
i love this on you. Astrid! I actually prefer it to your longer hair! You look very feminine and fresh.
Thanks Dianthus. Not exactly a choice, but oh well.

Thanks Runcarla. I like the length in the front as well, it's a great length for framing the face. I only went to a super cheap hairdresser where you don't need an appointment, so I just told her to cut the longest layer off to keep it simple. I think I might have our family's hairdresser adjust it a bit when I go home. I think it would look better if the sides were a bit more angled.

Thanks Ceit and Diane!

Thanks Ingunn! My mum always liked my shorter hair better too, same as my godmother. It's definitely more sassy... Although I do think that I now need another way to add a bit of boho to my everyday outfits.

This is adorable on you, Astrid! Wow! It is going to feel so light and airy for the summer, and what a fun change for you. Can't wait to see full lengths.

I agree with Ingunn and Ramya -- your long hair was lovely, but the shorter length makes it easier to see your pretty features, while still taking advantage of the texture and wave of your hair.

I'm glad you're happier with this!

OMG, I love it. I love how the short hair frames your face. You are so pretty, Astrid! You look sassier than ever. Sorry the initial cut didn't turn out how you wanted it but this looks amazing. I'm assuming you went back to the stylist to get it "fixed?" I'm curious if and how this will change the proportions of your outfits. I can't wait to see a WIW! LOVE!
Is this the "fixed" cut Astrid or what you came home with when you didn't like it? 'cause either way, I LOVE THIS on you!!! It's sassy, sexy and let's your beautiful face shine You have the prettiest smile BTW.
I think the stylist did a great job with this fix - it looks very modern and light and really it's great on you. And as Suz said, will be a fun change for the summer. I was afraid it was going to have a lot of short hair at the top from the earlier description, but it doesn't look that way at all - this cut seems streamlined in a good way. I like that it still has a "longer hair" appearance too. Do you ever part it on the sides slightly (just curious if you can with this cut).

Have fun with it and relax knowing you look fantastic!
I really like your new cut! I don't know what the original bad cut looked like, but this one is great.
Thanks Suz, Janet and Ornella!

Thanks Kelly! I didn't go to the same one, no. I just went to a cheap hairdresser in my neighbourhood. No styling and I had to blowdry myself, but she cut the long layer off for little money. I will try to post some full length pics soon.

Thanks Shannon! It's the fixed cut, I had it done this morning. The first cut did look aweful in comparison.

Thanks Texstyle! I do have short hair on the top, it also sits on the other layers because it's too short. It's not that visible from the front because I still have the long strands there, but you can see it from the sides and in the back. It's not as bad as it was before though, because the difference between the layers isn't as big anymore. You'll see it when I take pics. And no, I never part it on the side. Even if I wanted to - my hair just always wants to fall into a middle part. I can do it if I part it when it's still wet, but even then my scalp hurts after a while.

Thanks Sara!

You look gorgeous Astrid! Maybe the roundabout thing you did here was the best way after all?

Astrid! I love the cut! You are gorgeous with hair this length. I think you're going to eventually love variations of this shorter style too. Have you tried a side parting?
Another fan here, Astrid!! I absolutely love this length and style on you, it accentuates your beautiful features and your beautiful hair. It's a big difference, of course, so maybe it's just a matter of getting used to it a little? You look very fab!
I love it! You look great with shorter hair!
Good for you for moving forward and making the fix! I like this face framing look a lot, and it's a great time of the year to go shorter. Sorry it was so traumatic --- been there!
You look fantastic! I love this cut!
Thanks everyone! I'm going to post some new pictures in a WIW post, you can see how they look after a day running around there.
Ohmigosh, you are adorable! I'm off to look at the other pics of your fixed cut now...
