    You have a beautiful oval face, you could carry short hair well. I would go to an amazing (expensive!), young, beautiful talented stylist and let her chop it all off. Then donate. You could make like four wigs!

    Warm auburn colour change, and a short bob with a fringe (bangs) to frame your face. Would look fab!

    How about since you've done something great for yourself (yay for the weight loss), doing something for someone else? I, for instance, am going to donate my hair to Locks of Love (http://www.locksoflove.org/)...my sister's doing the same. :)

    Locks of Love is a terrific idea!

    Awesome idea!! This is my plan, too. I'm feeling selfish, though. I have more than enough to cut and donate, but I keep holding off so it will be a little longer when I do cut it.

    I'm guilty of the exact same thing. If I cut it now, it would be chin-length...maybe a smidge longer. I want it to be almost to my collarbones when I cut it, though. :)

    ooops responded without reading all posts.... I plan to do this when my hair is longer. I don't want it too short, and 10 inces is the minimum for donations.

    There are a few web sites that let you upload a picture and play with different hair styles and colors....give it a go! If you are set on short, make sure the stylist knows you want to donate before you start. My opinion....leave it medium to long with some layers and try a semi perm hair color going a shade more auburn or golden to give it a boost.

    Do whatever makes you happy! If you wanna chop it off, do it! Try something new whether it be a new color or a new style! You are doing great on your weight loss... Reward yourself!

    I would leave it fairly long, maybe a couple of inches below shoulder length, get it layered properly by a good stylist (maybe razored?) and go for a rich auburn colour.

    If you want to go short......check with a good hairdresser on cuts and what would work for your face. If not sure cut a maybe to a shoulder length but donate the hair!!!! Some of my friends have done it and were so happy about it. I went fron hair below elbow to a very short (razor cut) style many years ago and absolutely loved it. I never let my hair grow really long again, longest was down to my shoulders. I mostly wear it short, if I get bored I'll let it grow to a chin lenght bob.......I hate to spend time styling/blow drying etc......The freedom of having short hair is amazing. Came in very handy for all the years of scuba diving :bigsmile:

    Cut it all off and donate it!

    I did that a couple of years ago and have had various short cuts since. Currently have a pixie.

    I'm going to say go short. You have great features and angles to your face. Show them off!!

    Go shoulder-length with some layers, and get highlights while you're at it. I think it would look really cute. But, I must say, I absolutely love your long hair!!!

    First of all, congrats on your weight loss! You look amazing and have done great. Second, my hair is very similar to yours(almost the same length). I have 30 pounds to lose exactly before meeting my 100 pound lost goal and what I have decided to do is celebrate hitting my goal by making a big change. I am donating my hair to locks of love. You have to send at least 10 inches of hair so I am going to go drastic and go short for the first time in my life. I have always had at least shoulder length hair or longer and I feel like donating and going short for once is going to be fun.

    Sorry to ramble, anyway, these are the two cuts I am considering doing one of.
