Could I pull off short hair?


Question Posted Monday September 21 2009, 5:30 am

I have always liked short hair more than long hair, but I have never had short hair. My hair has been long for my whole life. I told my friend that i want to cut my hair really short, but she said not to because my hair is "really beautiful". I have always wanted to have short hair, but I dont feel like I would look good with it.

I have a big nose, and not very good bone structure (which is my problem), do you think I would still look ok with short hair? And I mean like very short hair. All the models I see with short hair have nice noses and bone structure.
I changed my yahoo avatar to have short hair, which is kinda my first step lol.
This is a bit like the style I want (but not the colour):

*What I look like*:
I have brown eyes, they are kinda small, but look big because of my make-up and eye colour, my nose is definately not my best feature (some people say it isn't big, but I know that it is), my skin isn't too good (but I wear make-up so that doesn't matter), and my mouth is small, but my lips are plump. I am very skinny (but not because I want to be), I don't have a chest, and I am a white 15 year old girl, and I am kinda tall.
*What my hair looks like currently*:
It runs down to the middle of my back, it is wavey (and usually frizzy). My natural colour is a dark blonde, but then I dyed it brown, then I washed the brown out, then it turned red, so I put blonde in it, and now it is a strawberry blone colour. And now I have regrowth but that doesn't matter because the colours are similar. My hair is parted in the middle but I am training my fringe to go to the side. I don't have a fringe (bangs), the front parts of my hair go past my ears.

Do you think someone that looks like this could pull off very short hair? But I want my hair to still be long enough that I can tie it into short piggy tails (the piggy tails will be messy, with alot of hair fallen out of them, so I will have layers in my hair, and basically people wont notice the piggy tails are there because they will be so small xD)

Anyways, please help me. And I need you to be HONEST. all my friends will say "No, don't wreck your hair" or "You do whatever you want with your hair". So please answer honestly!
If a picture of me or other hair styles is required, tell me, and I will put the pics.

Thank-you!

There are some sites where you can upload you face picture and have a virtual consoltation But Your hair sounds georgious. I have short hair & I have been trying for 30 yrs to grow it with very little success because I get annoyed with the frizz and cut cut cut. So I understand you have a little frizz going on I can suggest you put some curlers on the botton and make it style like a movie star of the 40's eg: veronica Lake or Brook shields long but layered. Or look for a hairdresser who has GHD Ironing tongs They are for curling waves, ringlets or straightening but they have a secret coating on the tongs that give a sensational curl or straightening with no damage to the hair They cost $300 or more to buy so they work. Look at Nichole Kidman she is a natural frizz nut but her hair is straightened by a GHD. so they definately work why don't you go for up does instead of cutting your hair.

I agree with Erinn. I had friends similar to that. I had really long hair (and by long, I mean it was to my butt) when I was around 13 or 14 and I cut it to my shoulders. I went to school the next day, and literally everyone I knew FREAKED OUT.

I think if you want to cut your hair, then you should. Don't let anyone influence what you want because it's not about them. It's about you & what makes you happy. So, if you wanna cut it, then go ahead & cut your hair. :) If you don't like it, buy some hair vitamins & grow it back.

If you want to cut your hair, cut it. The other day my friend and I got in a huge argument over my hair. She told me I looked like a "pregnant woman who cannot take care of herself" when I had short hair. I LOVED my hair short. I think if you want to try it out, go for it. It's just hair- it grows back. Besides, what the hell do you friends care about what you look like? I often think it's ridiculous that friends find it OK to tell you how you should wear your hair, who you should date, etc.

So that kind of turned into a rant about how pissed off I am that people like to tell me how to wear my hair. What I'm trying to say is give it a shot. If it looks terrible, it'll grow back.

well dont take this offensivley but short hair is mostly for people with such amazing features that they do not need hair to cover it up. and if what you said is true about your features not being perfect, it might be best that you keep your hair. lets face it, no one looks prettier with short hair. trendier maybe, but not preittier. plus you can always cut it later, but once you cut it, your stuck with that for a long time.
