I have been wanting to get a drastic haircut for a while now and just joined one of those virtual hairstyle websites to give me some ideas. So now I have some options and who better to ask for an opinion than random strangers on the internet?
My hair is currently a few inches below my shoulders and not doing a thing for me right now. It’s poker straight and I completly lack the hairstyling gene. Most days I just put it in a ponytail. To top it off my 6 month old son thinks that hair pulling is the best thing ever, so I want to go short. Here are some options, let me know what you think.
I like option number four. It’s fresh without being overly trendy. Long bangs would just be another temptation for the hair puller and the asymmetrical styles need a lot of upkeep and frequent trims to keep them from devolving into a shaggy mess. Most moms of six-month-olds don’t have a lot of time to keep running to the hairdresser. Besides, it looks very cute on you!
Option 4 is actually really close to what I had when I first met my husband. He thinks it makes me look younger, but it might just be that he is remembering me from way back when.
I did have a hairdresser tell me once that because one eyebrow is higher than the other, having a side part that covers one will help my face seem more symetrical.
I agree with either 1 or 4 but I think I prefer 4 because it doesn’t hide quite so much of your face. You really have a nicely shaped face I think. Also, have you thought of either lightening your hair or putting in some streaks/tips? If it was short I think some lighter colors would be good for you too.
I’m odd Internet stranger out, apparently. I like #2 best - it seems the most feminine of the bunch, to me.
What about a bob style? Those cuts are great for straight hair & require minimal upkeep & styling.
Have you considered long, straight bangs? Talk to the hairdresser and see what she thinks, she’ll be able to guide you. But you have a high forehead (I do too!), and since your hair is so straight, I think straight bangs would really work for you. And it would solve your eyebrow asymmetry, and highlight your eyes (which are really striking btw).
I like option 4, especially for someone like you with zero time to screw around with those long bangs - you will need to blow dry them or straight iron them or both. Number 4 is wash and go, and cute. My first thought when I saw #1 was “boy” then “Justin Bieber” so no, and #2 is also too much maintenance - it will never look like that in real life without a straight iron and some product. #3 is cute if you want to do something a little longer than #4.
