i love style needs to get their hair did

V tasteful! It suits you.

i envy that volume!!!!!!!!

Thanks guys. I am really happy w it.

my hair (and skin) has been super greasy lately. it looks like it needs washing every day - it seems to have started when i began using head n shoulders; before that, i was able to go almost a week without washing, but i would get a super flaky scalp which was nagl. i started using the HnS and the flakiness stopped but now it's so limp and oily and gross. and my face has gotten really oil and blemishy. ugh ugh ugh!

tea tree shampoos are supposed to be good for flakiness--might be worth a try to see if they're better for yr hair?

ENBB, haircut looks great!

T-gel is v good for my husband's short hair, might be worth a try?

MAN, it's like I get my hair did all the time now! Short hair is super.

Femme side, less femme side:

so awesome

That much closer to assuming the identity of my idol. No word yet on how I'm going to become Swedish.

holy shit super awesome yes!!!

I hope this doesn't come out the wrong way but you look super-youthful, orbit! in the best way possible. it's such a good cut for your face!

I have a babyface, it is true. I might have to start taking better care of my skin now because so much of it shows!

Also, sorry to steal your deal, rrrobyn, but it's shortened under the over-hang too so I can pull it back into a pompadour. So excited guise!

That looks fantastic. I want to see it in the pompadour!!!!!!!!!!!

That is some serious hair bravery - looks fantastic!

Cutting it more and more dramatically forces me to work on and get comfy with being less femme in my life, and hopefully focusing on the things (abt myself and also abt the world) and people who like me that way. It's pretty challenging, this is prob the most drastic step yet, but I only have to make the tough choice at the haircut itself and then I get to figure out how to live with it for 6 weeks afterward. It has been fairly awesome all along.

Also all hail Steff my stylist, obviously and forever.

WELL DONE

your face is so adorable that it could be a nest of wiry greys on one side and bald on the other and you would still manage to look good -- work it, give 0 fucks, hi 5!!

even if you hate it tomorrow guess what
it is hair and it grows back

That's what Steph says too.

Girl that is fantastic! I got my hair did yesterday and my stylist has v short hair but kind of long on top and i'm vaguely considering similar.... ... .......?

Love it! I rocked something similar for a looooooooong time and only gave it up because maintenance was a bit high; also realized that I need some more hair to balance out extreme tallness.

Does it make sense to say I want a haircut that looks as though I've got my hair up, but is actually just a short cut with face-framing bangs? What might such a thing look like?

answer: awesome!

Heh, that's the goal but can't envisage the actual cut. Time to go buy a bunch of hair magazines.

just gis it -- don't buy anything!

are you thinking about something like this or shorter in the back?!

That might work! - maybe with shorter bangs over the forehead, but still longer at the sides of the face? I'm not sure about the back - my instinct is shorter. I wasn't sure what on earth to gis - what did you use?

My advice as a person who has done allllll lengths: go for longer in the back than you think; it is easy to go shorter, but you might be startled enough to be glad you were conservative in the chopping.

Two haircuts I once had (first one not really a haircut... both were circa ten years ago)

Bet this image hosting doesn't work, I have a kind of blind spot for succeeding in getting pics up but here goes:

ok, just the one then.

A great one! I love that very much on you!

That is a top notch look!! Your face is great.

That Sienna Miller pic is what I brought to my hairdresser last time and pretty much the cut I have now.

Lljub you have such a beautiful and interesting face! You look a bit like rashida jones

i was gonna say that enbb's haircut kinda fits the bill!

as far as gis, i didn't try very hard at all and i googled face framing short haircut i think?

one thing to consider -- do you have a lot of hair at the crown/in the front? is the thickness of your hair concentrated there? if so, this is likely to turn out well.

however, if your hair is thicker in the back and kinda sparse toward the crown/front (like mine), it will be difficult to achieve the look you want regardless of how much of a miracle worker your stylist is. not impossible, but difficult and will require styling. that may or may not be a problem. just something to consider.

thanks everyone! I'm not good at predicting what will suit my face. Interesting about the R Jones comparison - I think I have a wide mouth like her - I wish I had her jawline!

I don't seem to have hair concentrated in any one particular part of my head, but overall it's pretty thin and gives up and breaks easily, which is another good reason to go short.

I guess the one I posted of me isn't a million miles from the Sienna one, maybe fluffier? ENBB - what I like about the Sienna one on you is the lovely volume - I do not have this! (although it probably wouldn't suit me if I did, because jawline, I think). Going to try to post the shorter one now but it's a pict not a jpeg, dammit

gah! can't do it. oh well, imagine that original one only a lot shorter. Anyway, I wonder if I can screw up the courage before I go to FFM's hairdresser on 7th Dec...

here we go again

wow gorgeous

(bear in mind my face now a lot saggier)

i will do no such thing :)

it is not! that is a adorable style btw.

also, and I know this might sound silly, but I am 10lb heavier and... short hair might now make my head look small in proportion to my body?... I know that sounds odd...

a bit of volume, bangs etc will help with that if yr self conscious.

idk i kind of find that stuff a little bit designed to make large women aspire to afros or sister-wife hair. my feeling is fuck that noise: it looks good if you *feel* good

you have a great face for short hair!

ok I will screw up my courage!

you have a lovely face.

Thank you!
