    I need a new hair style!

    Help!
    My hairdresser is coming over tomorrow night and I have no idea what to ask her to do.

    My old cut is the same as the Katie Holmes do http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ry6Y4MCjDE...400a073007.jpg and it works ok for me but it would be nice to try something else.

    At the moment my hair has grown out a bit so I have a bit of length to play with but I want it short so it fits under my beanie. DH complains if it is too short so a short style that appears longer is always a plus lol.

    I have fat cheeks so nothing that wouldn't suit a squirrel.

    Not asking much am I? lol

    ETA - no bangs!! I have a cow lick so they don't sit.

    And it needs to be pretty much wash and wear.

    What about something that's longer in the front but shorter at the back?

    I have an angled bob, longer in the front shorter in the back.

    It's very wash n wear but you need a good hair dresser or it can end up very "helmetish" at the back.

    I have a bob too, slightly longer at the front (back is about bottom of ear level, front an inch longer), no bangs (have a cowlick too). Works well when I straighten my hair or leave it to go curly naturally. I can pull it up for the gym or use a headband. I also have it thinned, but that is done at the end after it has been dried/straightened.

    I don't own a hairdryer (need to get one, keep on forgetting!) but do own a straightener, so when I do straighten it, it is dried with a hair towel and left to almost dry naturally before it is straighened, I just top-up the straightening every day or so if I'm keeping it straight. Currently it has been straight for nearly a week, with the cold I have at the moment I might wait until the weekend to wash it & let it go curly.

    That might work seeing that I ride to work so I get helmet hair anyway

    Have you tried those online or iphone apps that you put your pic in?

    Mine is longer at the front and about 1-2inches short at the back. So easy, love it!

    Firstly, what is your face shape and does you hair have a slight wave or is it dead straight?

    Katie Holmes has a heart shaped face if that helps...

    She didn't cut it as short as I wanted. It's a good cut but just longer than I expected. Maybe I should have shown her pictures instead of relying on a verbal explanation. It will need a trim in 6 weeks so I'll just get her to hack right into then.
    It's a bit strange seeing myself with such short hair.

    Photos? No way! I'm camera shy.
