...with a little vanity thrown in for good measure.

I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. I mean cut. I can't stand to have my hair pulled, and Herself keeps thrusting sticky little fingers into my hair and yanking, so tomorrow, it's getting cut short.

Now, my hair isn't too terribly much longer than in my userpic up there. It comes just about to my shoulders. It's fine, but there's a hell of a lot of it. It also has one big wave when cut short.

Please post suggestions for haircuts in comments. I have no idea what I want to do, other than for it to be short and for me to not have to blow dry it.

I could see you with something razored and pixieish like so:


or something with a little bit of length in the back, like so:

I'm a big believer in accepting messiness in short hair - then it looks deliberate.

It's not just when she eats. She's got a thing for flowy things. Ribbons, fabric... hair. She reaches out and clutches indiscriminately.

That being said, Jen's stuff is gorgeous. Birthday-present-price-range, though.

well, there's the famous cap cut. Short all over, wash and towel dry. Best if your hair has lots of body or you have a small face.

Oh, I so sympathize. When my son was her age, I got 10 inches whacked off mine.

You've got great cheekbones, so I'd suggest something that draws attention to them. Pixie bangs ending at cheek level, for instance, will show off the lines in your face, and narrow it a bit. But if you'd have to dry them straight, don't, cuz they'll drive you nuts.

If your hair is really wavy when air dried, then why not go for a really sporty, messy boycut look? With your stunning eyes and killer cheekbones, you can pull off super short. Also with tons of hair, thats the simplest solution. It will take getting used to, emotionally, but I've done it twice and loved the ease of wash and wear hair.

I also learned to embrace the natural wave. A bit of leave-in conditioner accentuates the natural wave, and off you go. XO

Can't wait to see the pix!

awesome idea. my mom actually went with a short pixie/boy cut after having me. the only time in her life that i can recall her doing so. and while longer hair was a better look for her (srsly, woman has great hair), you just can't argue with its new mommy functionality. so i'd say the shorter the better, and while i don't have a cut, we have an awesome stylist we'd recommend, if you find yourself up for a schlep to dc. also, after all our LJ shenanigans, i think i owe you and tor a drink of your choice. =)
