Really short hair

[mollykins]

Does really short hair on a young woman look wierd if it's curly? ie a curly bob? Are there any other short styles possible?

My hair is quite curly and would probably be very if it was cut short enough to have it down at cadets.

But if you don't have it short enough to have down, you have to have all the layers long enough to fit into a bun, which doesn't leave a huge amount of options.

PS to have it down for cadets, it can't be longer than to the bottom of the colour on our fours shirt, which is the same shape/ style as a normal shirt. . . . .

Plus my neck is quite short meaning the cut would have to be shorter than other peoples to make sure I could have it down.

it can't go any shorter than your hairline at the back of your neck.....

I think a curly bob would be best molly, just below the ears at the front and graded up into the neck at the back. All you need do in the morning is crunch it with wax and let it dry naturally. I wouldn't recommend really short hair if it is very curly, you won't be able to do anything with it, the shorter it is the curlier it will be. The weight of longer hair brings the curl out a little. Remember Katie Waissell from the X Factor when she cut her hair short? It looked absolutely awful. Think carefully Molly, it takes a long time to grow out again.

if you are healthy hair grows at an average of an inch a month....go on Molls, go for it!!

An inch a month? I must be in a right state then, mine doesn't seem to grow at all and I'm desperate for my long locks back.

Smurf, at the moment it's about shoulder height and quite wavy, but even with mousse etc it doesn't go into proper ringletts.

Well you dont want ringlets, maybe your hair is wavy and not really curly. I would go into a trendy local hairdresser (they don't usually bite) just for a consultation. They will give you good advice, and if you don't get a good feel about that hairdresser, try until you find one you really feel happy with. Some are really friendly, even offering coffee when you just have advice, others can be a bit off putting. And take a look through some hairdressing magazines at the newsagents, you might get some ideas like that. You might even be able to google 'curly hair styles' on the internet. Sorry I haven't tried that for you. Good luck and don't make any quick decisions. My hair is a shoulder bob and I sometimes dream I have had it all cut off (it gets on my nerves sometimes as well Molly) and then I wake up and feel my hair and thank goodness I haven't had it all cut off !

I normally go to a £10 cut and blow dry place jsut to egt a trim but would probably go somewhere better for the first cut then it's only a matter of trimming it every so often.

What about these styles, but keeping my colour? http://www.google.co....3A429%2Cr%3A1%2Cs%3A0 http://www.google.co....%2Cs%3A0&tx=51&ty=105
