When was your last haircut?

[Gigi]

Little Miss Summer, and anyone else, who has the opinion "the short hair cut is lower maintenance", i have some questions (been thinking about going shorter for a while).

- i thought short hair cuts needed more hair cuts, as they "grew out" quicker. or does that only apply to heavily graded cuts? (sculpted).

- if you have short hair, how to get it up, out of your way when it's the 40 degree plus weather.

- can a short hair cut and being able to hide your ears, co-exist? Or does having a short hair cut mean your ears are impossible to hide?

- if you know a bob cut does not suit your face, what other short hair options are open to you?

i've asked these type of questions to hairdressers many times, get fobbed off with "it's up to you, you just say what you want done". What i really want is advice from them. Once they work out i am not a high end spender, i get the disinterest.

I've had shoulder or a bit less length hair for decades, always able to ponytail it when i needed to. My hair has gone all woolly and horrible, sometimes i wonder if having a quite short haircut, would improve the hair. I miss having nice hair that moved as i walked, and felt nice. i now understand what is meant by "your crowning glory". My hair was the one thing i had going for me. Why is it i only appreciate it, now it's gone?

I went from shoulder length hair to the 'Emma Watson/Michelle Williams' cut. I love it.
I maintain it by having it cut every 6wks. It also not too bad if I let it go a bit longer, I just need a little more time in the morning to make it what I think is good
It's easy to blow dry in the morning, takes only a few minutes and a little bit of wax and I am done. It depends on how short you want to go.

I cut mine short when Melbourne was going through that really horrid humid weather and all I was doing was putting it back in a pony tail due the humidity not agreeing with my hair.

I don't regret it for a minute. I googled all sorts of short hair cuts and then took those into the hairdresser. I also looked through magazines and when I saw Emma Watson and Michelle Williams it was easy to explain and cut out pictures of what I wanted.

Some websites have facility for you to put your photo in with a different hair cuts, that way you can get an idea.

Another way is to go to a place that sells wigs and try some on, think Hair House Warehouse have wigs?

Gigi, I am sure you have much more going for you than your hair, I love reading your posts here on BB, you are one smart cookie!

it has been years... i honestly don't know when it was... probably about 3-4 years... i get mum to trim my hair every 6 months when i visit her(she lives ages away from me)
i would love to go to the hairdresser for a cut and colour but my hair is long and i got quotes at 4 places earlier this year and it would cost between $180-$250
thats too much.
