Poll question: Please tell me honestly....
Should I get my hair cut, like this, again? This pic was taken last year.



I like it short, for the summer, but I'm not sure it's the best style...
and I knew I'd get some honest opinions here! ;-)

Thanks.

Yeah, I know, I should have bigger concerns. But, right now, I feel like worrying about my hair! lol!

3. I like it like that.
But I think I may need some other pics to compare and for me to make my best judgement. :)

6. Like it! Might try the look without bangs though - all one length. Is it long enough to try that?

9. No...problem with my bangs is...
they are very fine -- like a baby's hair! They go all over the place when they're not cut. :-(

8. I'd go shorter - so the bottom aligns with your jawline.
I think it would be flattering and would keep the hair off the back of your neck during the hot summer months. :-)

11. No
A shorter cut makes your face and shoulders look wider.

But then, you might want that look. :)

Thank you! :hi:

19. A very cute cut.
I think it's flattering. Better yet, it looks low-maintenance. In fact, I'm going to swipe it, when I get my haircut tomorrow.

Thanks. :)

25. I never post my picture on the net.
My frenemies would probably use it against me in the office. :)

But I have a big round head, so if you place a black wig on a basketball - that would be me.

30. Ah...now that I look closer, I can see them
especially on the bangs. I didn't at first glance.

Lowlights with the highlights would look super. Your hair looks like mine, fine. High and lowlights would give the impression of more hair, and volume. :)

23. I'm the other -- again
I must choose other. I am a dude for one. Secondly, I gave myself my last haircut on the porch with dull scissors because it was hot.

Still recovering from that 5min of stupidity.

24. I really like that cut
I like the straight ends or the kind of curled out look on the ends, it's a nice variation on a bob. :hi:

I'm really tempted to do it... even though it does appear to make my face and shoulders look broad (it really does). But, it feels so much better in this heat... and we are having an especially humid summer now! :hi:

33. Tell me about it (humidity)
I did not sleep last night. I got fed up about not being able to get anything done during the day, or when I do try to get chores done it's so blasted hot that I do a crappy job, so I started at 4:00 this a.m. and did everything I could think of. Mopped, vaccuumed, mopped my screen porch and hosed it off, mowed the grass in my dog lot, scrubbed out my dog's wading pool and filled it back up, took the recycling off, went to the store, swept, laundry, dishes...you name it, I did it. And then I went to bed at 11:00 and slept until about 4:00. Today I learned the meaning of the concept behind siesta, lol. :hi:

35. lol
last night I had mint chocolate chip ice cream with hot fudge, a nutritious meal. Probably why I couldn't sleep, lol. I left at 5:00 a.m. to get some cinder blocks advertised on craigslist, and they were already gone, even though the ad was for that day. And I passed someone leaving the place when I pulled up, I guess they beat me too it. I should have left at 2:30 a.m. when I first saw the ad.

I think I'm gonna do that til the end of summer. This heat SUCKS.

:hi:

37. I think you should try the 'forward bob'
Where the hair is shorter at the centre back, and mirrors the chin line forward, to frame your face.
And yes, forget the 'bangs' they shorten your face and make it look wider. no need to add pounds when they
are not needed. hey, you asked....

40. No, sorry...
Just a grandaughter that looks just smashing with the forward bob cut. She just lets her hair dry straight, (it's thin) or curls it under to frame the face. Which means just a minute with the curling iron in the morning. Take a pencil and hold it below the ear lobe and follows the chin line.
You can make it as sharp or as shallow a line as you like. My Grandaughter gets it cut quite short at the beginning of summer and lets it grow till fall. i have seen pictures of this cut but all the models have way more hair than brains so what can i say.

But then I start wondering if it's not because
she's so pretty:

42. It's pretty close to what I had in mind...
That is what my granddaughter has for a hair cut, She has it just a touch shorter in the back than shown in the picture. I Think it is so elegant, If my hair wasn't so curly it's the hair cut I would choose. Can you see how it just makes your shape of face so perfect?
Thanks for giving this some consideration. Even if you don't do this hair cut, I like that you thought about what I was saying and didn't just blow me off. Pretty girls Rock, like You.

44. it's good - I like the slight flip out at the bottom --
sometimes smooth cuts like that, if they come in toward your face right along the jawline, can make a person's head/face look really round. The flip is at a good length, and counteracts any roundness...

The green of your shirt looks great on you, too -- very good coloring choice!

47. My dear KC2...
I voted "no"....

I prefer your hair the way it is now....a bit longer than your summer cut from before...

To me it's just softer, more stylish!

But I see I'm in the minority!

No matter....do what you want, sweetie...:hug:

48. Thanks, Peggy
There's nothing wrong with being in the minority! It just means you're an independent thinker! Besides, my husband doesn't want me to get my hair cut short -- he finally admitted to me late last night. Of course, the only reason he would give is, "just because."

Thank you! :hug:

49. I would get the same basic shape
but with more face-framing layers and a little choppier on the rest so it's not so blunt. Go for it!
