Thick hair short?

Will thick coarse hair do good short?i am definatly wanting a cut like natalie imbruglia's or maybe like this girl's i saw at the mall.. either way it's above the chin.. but right kinda at the ears..does this cut require a particular hair type? or face shape?please respond with ANY opinions or thoughts you may have..i desperatly need some advice before i bring a bad style for my hair to my stylist..please help me!!I'll love you forever if you do.

A friend of mine is African-American, and she has thick, relaxed hair with an ear-length cut that is bevelled at the ends. I personally think she looks very sophisticated and chic with that 'do. She seems to enjoy it too, but she has a tough time keeping it tame in the humidity. Agreeing with Carmen, if your hair responds to the humidity like most hair does, you could end up with a poofy mess. I would definitely stay away from a blunt cut, that usually looks "wrong" with thick hair

okay well thankyou guys for your advice..i think i have medium hair texture...it's not really thick but it's.. ya know not thin..i don't know if this would make a difference..well i guess i'll just talk to my stylist..thankyou sooo much for your time and opinions!!love katie

> I have thick, coarse and wavy hair...have always worn it long (about 6 inches below shoulders) and all one length. My stylist (who always gives me a consultation before even the simplest of haircuts) has been encouraging me to get it cut in short layers as I have been complaining how boring it is. I finally took her advice this week and got it cut very short. It's awesome...and so much easier to take care of and style. She took some of the thickness out also and it lays so nice. Her advice to me was that women with thick hair are always great candidates for short hair...and she was certainly right in my case. I would definetly ask for a consultation before a haircut that will be a change happens.Good Luck!
