I like it!
I hear you about fine straight hair flying in your face. would still have trouble with those long straight front sections you have now even though it’s overall shorter. Maybe it’s one’s bone structure, forehead & hairline that all work together as to how hair behaves.

I’ve tried to think about some new hairstyles for myself, just for change's sake, but I seam to need short, and some sort of bangs— a good while back I had Cleopatra- adjacent style; currently shorter layered/ uneven style. And of course they are the first to look like a trim is needed.

Anyway, this is a great way to try a fun new do by making use of the extra length you have to play with.

I love your new hair. And only partly because it's my hair too and now I can feel in this way I'm really stylish!

Mine isn't as versatile because it won't stay straight. Any attempt goes wild when it hits the summer heat. Maybe I'll do better in winter. Waves and curls I can do..but who knows, maybe they will do less well in the winter. It's a journey for sure.

The new haircut is fantastic, Angie! I especially like the wavy looks--both slightly and more wavy. To me, the shorter looks, the bob and the pixie, suit your overall look and your personality best. They have more of your bubbly energy. It's really interesting to see, because like others, I thought your longer hair was beautiful and that you wore it well, too. I wouldn't have guessed that the longer hair was more trouble to maintain, so I appreciate your explanation--or your "hair novel"--haha!

I am loving your recent hairstyle, although the previous ones looked great, too, I get that the current one is better for your needs.
Angie, has Sam been seen by a veterinary ophthalmologist? My pup devoped two different eye conditions that could have been confused with cataracts but were not. Thanks to the treatments that he received, he was able to see, even when he was very sick at he end of his life. I appreciated the ophtht’ s help in improving my fur baby’s quality of life. Maybe an ophthalmologist can help Sam, too?

High five from a fellow member of Team Short Hair! Like you, I've made forays into long hair life, but I have that same fine, slippery hair that always escapes from ponytails and ends up back in my face -- not effortless!

Love all three versions, but have extra admiration for the wavy versions, as it's very hard to convince my hair to behave that way unless it's very, very humid out.

WOW! Thanks for the awfully kind words, everyone. I'm blushing!

As for sweet Sam, he sends tail wags and kisses back. He's doing VERY well despite his lack of vision. He's a very happy and clever boy. Plays, walks, and enjoys life! He has us and Jo to see to his EVERY need

JoyceB, YES! We have been to several eye specialists. Lots, and lots of testing. ANYTHING for our doggies. Sam does not qualify for cataract removal surgery, unfortunately. He has retinal degeneration - which caused the cataracts, is the diagnosis. You need healthy retinas to have cataracts removed. Sam would be blind despite the cataract removal. Glad your baby doggie had a great experience though.

I'll be back to comment fully and answer questions later....

Love your hair. It’s nice to have multiple ways to style it.

Hugs and kisses to sweet Sam. He is a trooper. Your hair looks beautiful. All the styling looks great. I am like Janet. Shorter hair is more difficult for me to style. I do find layers make it easier, and I had my hair layered in February when I was in Montreal.

Thanks, everyone! I much appreciate the kind words and compliments.!

Poor sweet Sam. I know he’s getting the most devoted care in your family.

The smile says it all, your new hair is fabulous!

I absolutely love your hair at this length. You look beautiful as alway and it also lends it selves to a few styles. Excellent!

Thanks so much!

Cookie, anything for Sam and Jo. Appreciate the sweet words.

Angie, these are gorgeous looks for you. I love that you can get both the super straight sleek look and - my favorite - the very wavy style in the last 3 shots, out of the same cut.
Color is perfect, too.

New haircut is gorgeous ( like wavy hairstyle the best - but all are fab on you )! I'm staying with pixie cut forever and ever - get annoyed with longer hair getting in my eyes .
Sorry about Sam - he is lucky to be a part of such loving and caring family!

You look lovely! Short hair is just so flattering on you, and I love your highlights. It's all just so you, Angie! xo

Wow! Spectacular! Brava!!

I enjoyed reading this so much! Thanks Angie, for sharing your journey in such an honest and forthcoming way.

I lost all of my hair to chemo 5 years ago. While I am strong and healthy now, my hair is thinner and requires a lot of care. Like you Angie, I am increasingly frustrated with this. [It is shoulder length.]

I notice that I like the look of my hair much better when I pull it back in a pony tail. Or when I wear my fav pink baseball cap. This to me suggests that I don't really like the look of all that extra hair - I'm trying ot get rid of it when I pull it into a pony or curtail it with my cap.

So .... I am toying with the idea [and it is hard!] of going much shorter!

I remind myself: it's hair. If I miss my longer hair - I can always grow it back!

Oh all versions are so pretty on you! How nice to have such a versatile style. The highlights are spot on!

Thanks for the lovely compliments, everyone! I'm smiling, and loving my easier hair

sabimct, your are a chemo warrior. Post treatment, I fully understand how hard it can be to cut your hair. Perhaps you can cut it shorter in stages - (I'm doing that too) - and assess how you feel along the way. Best of luck to you. Always happy to help.

It looks fabulous, I have similar length hair and would love to know how you get your your curls and waves. I have a hard time and only have mine straight but would definitely curl it if I had the know how !

Gail, I have wavy hair to begin with. I either blow it or air dry it - and the result is wavy. Then I neaten the wave with a curling iron to even things out and look more polished. It's fast. It holds all day!

Love the new cut, it suits you! I agree with you about the perfect hair length. Your new cut is similar to the way I've been wearing my hair lately and it is practical and easy to maintain.

INGE have been missing you....
Angie my fav is #12 so FAB yet so simple.
Your new hair is spot on for you!

Angie, sorry that Sam’s problem is with the retina and vets cannot offer help for that. He has the best mom, dad and sister Jo who take care of him and give him the loved, happy life that he deserves.
My pup had problems with his cornea and the Vet Ophth helped him, so in that sense he was lucky.

A beautifull hair style, looking so fresh on You this bixie, Angie! Think You probably went already through this exact style during growing out period of the pixie before reaching shoulder lengths, and yess- You managed to look impecable and fabulous in each of the intermediate stages!!!
I have noticed a small mention about Sam's blindness in one of your previous threads... and was really sad to hear about his condition- just didn't want to aggravate with asking details-but my heart is broken ever since...but he surely gets the most love and care from the most compassionate pet parents in the world!

bonnie, I know you relate! LOVE your hairstyle! It's perfect for you

Indigoprint, thank you!

Lyn67, I had the length as I was growing it out, but not the style and colour. So it feels new!

Dearest JoyceB and Lyn67, much appreciate your awfully compassionate words and wishes for our sweet, sweet Sam. As you can see in these recent pics, Sam is doing GREAT and loves to play. He's happy, feisty and in great spirits - Jo says hi too.

Beautiful Sam and Jo! Thanks for sharing the photos. Dogs live in the moment and have their wisdom that we could learn from. Regardless of what hand is given to them, they do what they can and enjoy as best as they can.
All the best to you and your fur babies.

JoyceB, truer words about doggies were never spoken! If people were more like dogs, the world would be a better place. Thanks for chiming back in so attentively - hugs! - and how wonderful that your baby doggie's cornea was sorted
