i love style needs to get their hair did

In keeping w/ the thread, the AA has great hair. She and the mean IT lady and I enjoy being very catty about the many terrible, I mean just o_O wig choices our coworkers made. We want to host a very local, What Not to Wear-type show called Wig Intervention in which we swoop into people's cubes and kidnap them and take them wig shopping.

I hair is awful right now. So much so that I have it half up which i never do. I still can't decide what to do with the color. Blah. I need a cut.

It just grows so fast - hate that. I seriously need to get it cut like every 6 weeks if I want to keep it looking good. Obv I don't do that so wind up like this.

my hair is awful right now, too. i don't really believe yours is, Erica; but i think going red would be fun if you're still considering that.

mayyyyyybe

I don't know if I have it in me to keep up with it tho. Probably leave it boring and natural for winter. We'll see.

I am getting a cut & dye tomorrow and I am both really looking forward to it but also terrified! My sister sent me this pic and says I should do my hair like this:

I am worried it will show off my puffy underchin tho idk

tbh tho there's really no way of hiding my puffy underchin, I need to own this shit

you kind of resemble ginifer goodwin, abbott! i agree with your sister fwiw.

yeah horseshoe otm!

all these crazy short haircuts are making me want to chop all mine off, too

do not worry about underchin (lol "underchin"), for so many people have the underchin incl me and it is imo less of a big deal than most people think, like, maybe it's an issue in photos but irl, it's like, hey whatever (unless it is goiter-sized, which is more worrisome than anything else)
so what i'm saying is GET CUTE HAIR YES

in my experience people with puffy underchins mostly don't have them but what they have got is puffy vision.

Sorry peeps I am defs not trying to play the girl's locker room game of fishing for comples. I think I am going to go for it.

when my hair was like that i just had to remember to step up my fashion game or run the risk of looking dowdy (or feeling dowdy, which is just as bad)

man i hate feeling dowdy
it would also be a terrible name for a romcom

FEELING DOWDY: Reese Witherspoon navigates the many feminine pitfalls her 30s in quirky small Dowdy, KS

but eventually she meets a hot lumberjack and they get over their initial hatred of each other by falling in love

yeah I wish the lovably chubby slob was a female archetype like Jack Black or something because hi everyone

just speaking about me here, not you
I feel that is the vibe I am rocking lately

which I am comfortable with, I love me

slob >>> dowdy
dowdy means trying and failing, which is worse than not trying at all

when my hair was like that i just had to remember to step up my fashion game or run the risk of looking dowdy (or feeling dowdy, which is just as bad)

Yes x1000

Huh I feel like my hair is elevating all my clothes! Before my hair was bringing me down to dowdy unless I spent mad time on it.

Yeah but your hair isn't super short like that one. LL and I have spoken about this before. In a lot of ways super short hair can feel like more work than longer hair. I felt like a boy when dressed really casually (jeans/tshirt) so felt like I had to put more effort into looking girly with clothes/accessories etc.

Right, and accessorize without looking like the lady with the decoupage clock brooch and matching earrings/pendant.

laurel's hair isn't "short hair" it's just shorter than it was.

I don't often weigh in on haircut advice as I'm so crap at imagining how people would look if they did x or y to their clothes or hair (including self), but I am making an exception to endorse that cut on Abbott.

yeah I wish the lovably chubby slob was a female archetype like Jack Black or something because hi everyone

I thought it was, actually. (The "best friend of the female lead" type.)

I'm kinda drowning in dowdiness myself.

I sort of had similar hair (when I weighed 40 lbs less) and I way owned the scrubby boy look, accessorizing with the double deuce and all – this go round I wld actually make effort (I say now)

I was cutting my own hair then and not styling it, those were times

abbott, your hair looks very awesome!

oh that is an old picture, sorry, i'm terrible at reading! it is a good cut though, i say go for it.

i'm getting mine cut tomorrow and haven't really thought about it other than vague bob feelings.

It is the day! Your hair looks so great, bell, even if you just had it trimmed you'd still be in the money.

here's my new do

YESSSSSS!!

!!! another amazing short cut

Wow, WOW! So many hair successes.

omg hotness

The guy who cut my hair did not speak English and I had a hard time communicating to him that I did not want a wispy fairy mullet thing at the bottom of my neckline wtf

He also got hair dye on my (one nice new) sweater.

beautiful, bell!

thanks all :DDD

Killer haircuts all around itt!

Yeah L's haircut is awesome!

yeah bell, super-chic! welcome back, btw!

i had a moment of clarity while staring in disgust at my hair today where i realized precisely what was wrong with it and cut those parts. i fucked up the back a little like i usually do, but i feel a million times better about it.

YAY!!!

:D thanks E! filled with contentment tbh

I know what it feels like. That's exactly what I did a couple weeks ago when I snipped off the long bits in front. I felt SO much better afterwards.

there needs to be a portmanteau word for this feeling. perhaps there is one in German?

the-feeling-that-comes-with-snipping-offensive-hair

that sounds grosser than i meant it to

lol
