I also have very thick hair which is wavy/frizzy without attention. This style looks like a lot of work to me! Periodically, I have my hair cut short-ish (above the shoulders) and then I remember that I should always keep it long enough to tie back on those days I don't have time to straighten it! I also find that when it is shorter, if I don't straighten it I end up looking like a mushroom! Do you have plenty of time to manage this style? (I agree with the PP, you have lovely skin - it was the first thing I noticed when I look at your pic!)
Lol, I understand the mushroom-head look! Otherwise known as Carol Brady A few years ago I had an awful hairdresser who just kept layering to a ridiculous level, I had the worst mushroom-head. The bottom was below my shoulders, but at the top got down to maybe 7cm. Not a good look! If I keep the whole lot at the same level though, it looks alright. Before the concave bob I had quite a short bob, all one length, very blunt. It worked because there were no top layers to fluff up.
The thing with my hair is to use mousse, after I wash it if I can't be bothered straightening I put in mousse and it curls, or the waves get more defined and it stops the flyaways. I reckon that's the main reason it'll work ok, my hair seems to like the product I use and it's pretty easy to style. I also like how it looks when I wash it at night, sleep on it and leave it. Sooo many times I've gone out shopping with total bed head My Mum always compliments me on it!
But I think I'll show the hairdresser first, and see what adjustments she would make. I think in the left pic the long is too long, and in the right pic the short is maybe just a bit short for my hair. Got an appointment on Saturday at 11:30, looking forward to it
With a roundish face sometimes shortish hair makes it look rounder.
If it's a new salon maybe tread carefully this time then when you know they can do a good cut get it changed. Nothing worse than a hairdresser who will not listen and does what she wants, not what you want.
It can also be thinned out. I get mine razor cut as it suits my hair type and it sits alot better than a scissors cut.
Don't worry about the rural lot, they will notice and maybe not comment to you but I have heard my brother come home and mention that 'the girl in the bank had her hair done and it looked nice'
