I did have a bob in my twenties and the good thing about it was it always sat well, needed no styling at all. I can't have layers though because my hair is wavy and layers make it curl, so it's got all one length for it to be low maintenance.

My hair is still thick but no where as thick as in my twenties, when it was mane-like, but I hope it looks okay nonetheless.

Thanks for all your responses! I've booked myself in for Wednesday and am going to go halfway, ie slightly longer than chin length. Wish me luck!!

ETA Oooh Cai I like your hair! But I'm too scared to go too short. Maybe one day....
