...I need to start back a little further. My hair has been long. Always. Growing up, it was always long. I also always had bangs (spare a few years in high school). When I graduated from high school, I decided to chop it off. I loved it short, but over time I let it grow long again. My second year in college, I had a friend chop in to a shaggy mulletesque cut and I loved it.....but over the summer, I let it grow out...and it didn't grow out pretty. I had the same friend cut it again, only, it ended up much more butchered than I could handle. I swore then that I would never get my hair cut anywhere near my chin. It took me two years to grow it out completely, and one extra year of having it longer than I liked. This past summer I chopped it, but because I was afraid to go too short, I got something just longer than a bob. It looked.....boring. Now it is medium in length with bangs and I'm feeling unsettled.
Recap in Pictures
Growing Up
First chop in 2003
Shaggy mullet
Bad helmet-head short cut
Grew it long.
And this is my unfortunate look when anything starts to grow out.
Well, I'm tired of looking like that last picture. I'm also not wanting my hair long like I thought I did. I feel like I've been there done that, and although it doesn't look bad on me, I think something shorter may be more flattering. So here's what I'm thinking, and feed back would be greatly appreciated:
don't remember where this one came from.
Keep in mind I have fine, straight hair (though it can get wavy if I really mess with it). I tried to find pictures accordingly. I also acknowledge the fact that if I get one of these cuts, I'm one step closer to Erin of Calivintage's amazing hair cuts. I don't know that I can pull them off as she does, but our face structure is similar, which makes me wonder. I especially like this and this.
So what do you think? Can I pull off a short bob? Or shorter?
I think you can definitely pull off a short bob b/c of the shape of your face. From your pics, I can tell that you have thin/fine hair. For that hair type, I would suggest something below chin length but at or above shoulder length. I'm no expert, though, but I really think a bob that length would fit the overall structure of your face and give it a frame. Something like this: http://www.hairspotlight.com/images/medium/ritchie-lighter-tone.jpg.... with a side swept bang.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with making this decision. Please keep us updated on what you decide to do. :-)
