OT: new haircut results

So I've just got back from the hairdresser....what do you think??? About 15cm cut off in total, which feels much lighter. I'm a bit worried about how wispy/frizzy it will get as my hair is very fine but we'll see. For once I left the salon with curly, rather than straight hair as I wanted to see how it looked when they do it.

So what do you guys think. Anything you'd have changed or advice for next time? I'm wondering if the layers are short enough?? I don't know, this is why hair confuses me!!

Please excuse my tired expression. I have only slept 3 of the last 24 hours. But now I'm on holidays!!! Charging myself up with coffeee to have a big night tonight then plan on sleeping ALL DAY tomorrow before a big drive back to Wollongong on Sunday. I so can't wait!!!

Tam I love it! I liked the shorter length on you when it was straightened, and like it just as much with your gorgeous natural curls.

Of course, the real test will be to see how it wears and how you go handling it... I always think that's the big test with my hair anyway.

Have a good sleep tomorrow and make sure to enjoy your holidays OK!

It looks great! I know nothing about curly hair, but to me it looks like it should be an easy wash and wear style. Did they use any product or styling methods? I'm excited to see how it looks after you've washed and dried it yourself, and if it's good for swimming. Also, did they add any bangs? I can't spot any in the first and second pictures, but in the third one I was less sure...

Have a great night, get some good sleep, and enjoy your holiday!

Theresa, I like it so far, a bit wary of ow it'll look when I attempt to "style it" myself, but we'll see how that goes. He put a tiny bit of spray and a bit of serum in it then just did a bit of blowdrying before leaving it to dry naturally, so I'm thinking that didn't look too intense. I'll post an "After" shot tomorrow hehe.

Kate there's no bangs as such, just some shorter layers at the front (about lip length). Should I have gone shorter, do you think??

You look really, really lovely Tam!

It is always a very good sign when the stylist doesn't have to really 'work' your hair when they are finishing it off. Whilst having it straightened is always a nice change, I think it was very smart move to get the stylist to show you how to style it for everyday wear.

Hope you have/had a great time out and about. Sweetdreams afterwards!

I love it. Since you mentioned before that you don't like to blowdry your hair, it is great that your stylist gave your a look that works with the natural texture of your hair and not against it. I think it will be very easy to style but still look professional and chic.

I think it looks nice. Give it a few days. My hair is similar in texture to yours and a cut always shocks it a little. I usually come home slightly unsure, then really start to like it in a day or two. I've been using a shine serum and it keeps my curls smooth when the weather gets humid.

It looks great. I like the shorter length on you.

Lovely! My hair is a really similar texture (but I straighten mine usually). I think it will be easy to style... just a little curl cream, scrunch it, and you'll be good to go. Have you ever tried using a diffuser to intensify the curls? I've always been curious to give that a try.

Oh, very pretty. I love waves like yours, Tam. I have stick straight hair so always have wistfully wished for waves. It sounds, too, like the style is really pretty easy to manage. That's a must for me. I can't be bothered with a style that will take forever to do.

I think it's fabulous, Tam! Love your soft curls. You look so pretty and I love how that contrasts with your edgy style. Amazing!

Have a great day catching up on sleep and drive safely.

Your shorter curly style looks looks gorgeous on you! I think that you could go shorter if you wanted to unless you need the weight of the longer hair to control it, but that cut is great. The blue cardi is also fabulous. Enjoy your holiday!

I really think it's lovely!

It looks SO good, Tam! You look awesome!!! And I love how it works with your nose ring.

Also, you look amazing in this shade of blue.

Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a clear close up picture of your face before Tam. You are really pretty and have beautiful eyes! Your hair looks wonderful too. Soft curls are a lovely contrast against the strong lines of your face.

Talk about warm fuzzies this morning guys - thanks!!!! I'm loving the bounce of my hair this morning...and even think I could have got another inch or so off. Maybe next time!!!

The hairdresser I went to tried to get me to book in for a touchup in 7 weeks time...I told him from 9 months to 7 weeks between haircuts is a big jump.....I'm aiming for a 3 month gap as more realistic!!!

Marianne this is what your hair looks like too? Wow! I'd have never guessed - you straighten it so perfectly. Getting a straightening iron for the occasional use is on my todo list as well. I've never used a diffuser - I blowdry my hair less than once a year I am that lazy!!!!
