but i'm back for some more ideas!


***i'm warning you now... LOTS of pictures!***





so, i went short in december.





(That was strait back from the salon)


but my hair isnt that strait. and it never stays strait all day. here's a bunch of pictures from the last month of so, so you can get an idea of how my hair "likes" to be...







i really dont like how the back just does whatever the hell it wants.  i am pretty sure i want to go shorter (at least in the back). would this be flattering? do you think my hair would lie flatter (i think thats the word...)


any thoughts, ideas, pictures, anything would be appreciated!!!

Shorter in the back? Flattering? Are you kidding? Wink

I do believe that being shorter in the back would cause it to lie flatter. Without question it would look great on you!

I think shorter in the back would be fine... also that cut needs to be trimmed up every 4 or 5 weeks, esp. if your hair sort of wants to go its own way.
 
Do you use a flat iron?  My step daugher have that cut and though her hair is pretty straight she always finishes with the flat iron to give it "the look" as she calls it...
 
Good luck!
 
oh.. we love pics... the more the better!

Shorter in the back would make it lie flatter.  You could have it stacked?
 
 
I hope this helps!

i really like your pictures conrad!


and yes, i use a flat iron after i blow out my hair in the morning, but it doesnt stay that way long...

i found this when i was browsing around the forums...



i really like the back.... its just hard to imagine what the front will look like with nothing behind it i guess...


i made an appointment to get it cut next Wednesday, i color it myself

Kay, I think that last picture you found will look great.  Have fun with it and let us know how it turns out.

I think the style you have chosen above would look amazing on you and hopefully would stop that little flick out bit at the back.  I don't think the front would look much different to as it is now, unless you add bangs, but i do not think bangs would suit you as well.  This style is very popular at the moment and if you want more examples just look at some of the other threads.  Please send some after pics if you go for it as i'm sure you will look stunning.
All the best

I think it looks great also.  The back is awesome; you could go a little shorter as I think you'll be having the same problem as before in about six weeks.  But still, I think it looks fabulous.  Congratulations.

I think it looks good also.  I also like the color - thinking it is probably a little darker minus the flash.
If I had to be picky...I would go a little shorter in the back and have a slight angle to the front.  I'm actually trying to get my wife to change her hair to something like yours

It looks great on you - I'm sure you'll be able to get the back cut to look how you want it.  Perhaps the stylist is wary of doing something too dramatic if you haven't described it clearly enough.
 
Bizarrely I saw a woman last weekend who probably had the style you seem to be looking for (there was still length and movement at the front and sides but the back was cut close - not shaved - maybe 1 inch long about half way up the back of her head. 
 
But I wasn't going top go up to a comlete stranger and ask if I could photgraph her hair.

i have to say you have an amazing pair of eyes and your cut is very flattering on you  i really like the short front sooo many girls are getting the cut my wife has with the angle being too long in front this is a classic bob and the back is stacked nicely   i have to say if the back bottom part was about a half inch or so blended into the longer top then it would be the nicest bob i have ever seen    you totally have the face & hair for this type of cut............... A++++++++++++
can we see a back shot straight on?
