This looks fantastic Astrid. There are so many different ways to wear short hair, I think you'll have a lot of fun playing with it.

I absolutely love it!! It suits you so well.

I chopped my hair off too a few weeks ago but nothing so dramatic. It was a new hairstylist and I think he was afraid to cut too much off even though I was pretty much begging for that. Oh well...

Very belated...you look so fab! Agree with all the comments about putting the focus on your face. So pretty.

How is your neck doing with the cold?

Thanks so much everyone!

@Dee
Grown up is good...

@Sveta
You're right, it's going to take some adjusting.

@Claire
I hard a hard time with it too, I just knew what I didn't want it to look like. Luckily it worked out!

@abc
Thanks for the product recommendation, I'll look it up.

@Lara
I don't use a brush either, I haven't for years. Just my fingers, usually. I think I definitely will have fun with it.

@Runcarla
Yes, I think this will be lovely with the dress. I love the term modern gamine!

@Tulle
I think I'm definitely going to rediscover some of my scarves, now that it gets colder.

@Jenny H
Yes, I remember your thread and wondered what you ended up doing. Well, there's always next time!

@Ruth
It's fine so far. When I'm outside I'm used to wearing a scarf anyway, so it doesn't make a big difference.

Oh, oh, oh. So fantastic! You really are coming into your own stylishness. I always thought you had pretty hair, but it is so sophisticated and flattering now.

Beautiful! You will enjoy an elegantly gamine holiday with that cut!

You look really pretty and sophisticated with that cut, Astrid!
It should be fun to experiment with using some gel and letting it air dry with more curl as well as the straighter blown dry look. Can't wait to see all the different possibilities!

Beautiful! You will enjoy an elegantly gamine holiday with that cut!

Totally stunning and gorgeous! This cut is perfect for you.

Hi Astrid --

I think you suit both gamine and more romantic looks so well -- so I bet you'll have a lot of fun exploring more of the former with the new cut!

As has been said repeatedly, the new 'do really lets your face take center stage. Will look forward to seeing if even more change is in the wind or if the cut completes everything for you for a good while!

Looks great! I love it! Did you ask your stylist what product he recommends? That's usually my solution.

Are you tired of everyone telling you how good you look in this cut? If you can stand another compliment, add me to the list. I'm amazed though, at how transformative this cut is on you. Your former curls were such a signature part of your look, I was almost afraid to open this thread. This cut, though, opens up a whole new look that is equally fabulous. Love it!

This cut suits your face beautifully. I love it!!!

Thanks Mochi! It certainly looks more "done" now, instead of before when it was allover the place.

Thanks Thimblelina!

Thanks Parsley! I've let it airdry today and there isn't that much curl, although I might be able to get more movement with product. At this length my hair is relatively straight and just slightly wavy.

Thanks Karie!

Thanks Vix! That's a good question and I'm looking forward to exploring where this is going. For now my wardrobe is very minimal, since I've been purging a lot and not adding that much new things. It is a bit of a clean slate.

Thanks Sara! No, I didn't ask him. I can do that next time.

Thanks Gaylene! Yes, it definitely looks very different. I think it changes the vibe a lot, wearing the same outfits. I had to smile when I read you were kind of afraid to have a look.

Thanks Deb!

Playfully feminine. I look forward to seeing your gamine outfits!

So cute Astrid because your hair waves know exactly what they are supposed to do!!!

Oh my - I didn't check in this weekend and missed your post - what a wonderful new style Astrid! I love it on you! Your smile shows your love of it too, which makes me even happier for you.

LOL
I read 'WIW first day with the pixie' and my first thought was: OMG OMG OMG she's done it!' and then started looking through your last posts. Either I have a very boring life or... I don't know. But, anyway, you look fantastic, I love it! Congratulations on being brave!

Thanks Alasse and karymk!

Thanks Texstyle! And yes, I love it. Very happy with it.

Thanks Irene! I had to laugh at the OMG OMG OMG...
