I've almost always had long hair, but I want a change. I'd like to try a short, fun cut, , but I'd like some opinions first :)

This is my hair now

    I love it. I've just had mine cut from long (approx to my waist) to a short pixie crop, and I love it. Sorry I didn't do it sooner.

    :happy:

    I'd take that picture in and show a stylist.

    That model has a heart shaped face, and yours is more square.

    Also, I had long hair.. like down to my boobs long, and then I decided to chop it off.. and I wound up hating it. So be sure that is really what you want before you chop!

    I'm a pixie cut girl myself, have been for years, just remember you have to have very short hair cut every 3-4 weeks to maintain...it's awesome though, I love my hair!!!

    I can't say it's not pretty... but let me say something:::

    My hair was once almost reaching under my bum.... I had the brilliant idea to cut them over the shoulders (At that time the shortest I had was in the middle of the back).... yeah.. I liked it... until I wanted my long hair back... since then (15 years ago) I am unable to get them grow to the middle of my back! Either I get bored, or they get annoying.
    Bottom line. Think about it. seriously.
    STILL! I like the short one, it's cute!
    If I had to cut mine a gain (they are now a lil under my shoulders) it would be like Winona Ryder's in "Reality Bites"... love that haircut!

    I just quickly uploaded your photo and the new hairstyle onto http://makeovr.com/hairmixer/ and it really suits you. Sorry not sure how to save the photo and upload onto here but give it a try yourself.

    My opinion .. hair grows back! Cut it, play with it, colour it - enjoy it! :)

    Thanks all! I am donating it, thats what made me decide to cut it! I've been thinking about it for 2 months and Im excited to try something fun and new. I am slightly worried about my square face shape clashing in all the wrong ways with this cut. I'm going to talk to my stylist about it today or sometime this week :)

    I think you have a great shaped face for it....Cut is really cute, too. May have to adjust it a little depending on how you hair lays and how thick, wavy, etc, it will be, but you could certainly get a look close to if not the same as that. Great idea donating it.:)

    LOL I"ve always had short hair, but have grown mine to 13', shooting for 20 before I cut and sell it.....hoping I can sell it anyways. I find it easier to deal with long hair sometimes b/c all I have to do is put it up and forget it....lots of styles. A plus for short hair is that you can style it quickly, and won't spend 20/30 minuties washing, conditioning, detangling, drying and styling (braiding ect) you hair.

    I have had long hair all my life and a couple of times got daring and cut it off.you'll either love it and never go back or hate it. I felt like a part of me was missing. But it is only hair and you can always grow it back. I think you have beautiful hair and the color is gorgeous!!

    It is just HAIR. I have mine really short, and LOVE it. Do it. If you don't have a hair attachment issue, you should have no problem. Some love long hair, mine always bugged me. I would end up putting it up all of the time to get it out of my face, and what is the point of that?! I wish I had done it far sooner.

    I also say go for it. It's just hair, it will grow back if you hate it. I get a bug every few years and cut my hair short and donate it. Thinking about it again, but want to wait until after Halloween :) Unfortunately my face it too chubby to pull off that super short pixy (which I hope to do one day, because I've always wanted to try that cut), but I think it would look super cute on you.

    I would ask your hairdresser to cut your hair to a chin length bob first. If that feels a bit scary then stop, get use to the shorter hair and then go for the pixie cut next time. Going from long hair to such a short crop will be quite a shock.

    About 15 years ago I got mine cut super short. I looked like an orange with fuzz and hated it. When it started growing out I couldn't do a danged thing with it either. It was always in my face or getting in my way. It's back to long and I like it that way. Enjoy your new haircut!

    I cut mine 15 years ago and never looked back. I LOVE my short haircut and I get compliments on it all the time. I think it just suits me, and it isn't for everyone. BUT I never thought it would suit me this well. So, give it a try!! It will grow back if you don't like it, but you might just love it!

    I did do a bob first (as recommended here) and that may have helped, but I had a hairdresser that was tired of me talking about going shorter but being to nervous to do it and he just started chopping. I was freaked out at first, but now I am so glad he did it. So, there is also something to be said for just going for it! Good luck.

    Super cute! I wish I could do something like that, but with curly hair I'd end up with a FRO, lol!!!
    Do it, it'll grow back if you don't like it.
