short hair on girls: classic or dud

but on girls with very thick, very straight hair (especially dark hair) cropped short, it is major classic, see 60s truffaut films for examples. i love the twiggy/edie sedgewick look, as well, but just CANNOT pull it off, which makes me very sad. my hair just won't go that straight.

Short hair on girls. Nice. Particularly on little short girls as it exemplifies pixie-ness. But don't like the shaved head look much. And no short-on-top & sides, long-down-back mullet crap.

please cut your hair

thank you

love, ron

So . . . I am getting my hair cut on Friday and I'm thinking of going short like really short. I don't know if I have the guts though or exactly how to get it cut. I really really want to do it but I'm nervous!! I am worried my face it too round. I guess if it looks like shit it doesn't really matter because it'll grow but still. Ack!!

was maybe thinking something like this:

I don't want to look like a boy though. idk what to do. suggestions? halp!

Try out this incomprehensible hair simulator website!

Short hair on girls is soooooo classic. As long as it's not a "mom-do", if you know what I mean.

I know!! The problem is I'm afraid the stylist lady will wind up giving me some horrible mom haircut and then I will cry. Ahhhh.

OK, I am totally doing that site right now.

How short is your hair right now?

F'rinstance, I always thought Amy Adams was cute, but her look in Julie And Julia is just ridic (in the best way possible):

And would you need to use more products with short hair? are you opposed to more hair products if that's the case?

x-post - it's a little below chin-length which is pretty the length that it always is. No, I'm not opposed to products.

OK what language is that site in? This may take a while to figure out.

Actually, I think it's Finnish! You may be able to find a translator on the board!

Remembering a photo you posted here, I would say go for it. It would look cute on you.When was the last time your hair was really long?

You know, yes: I can imagine that short hairdos on women are about the hardest thing for a stylist to get right. There's such a fine line between cute and mom. Plus, it seems like it'd be really hard to know for sure what your hair in particular is going to do when it's short. It follows a whole new set of physical laws than the ones that you're used to, pretty much.

Really long . . . when I was 14!! I'm not really a long hair type person.

Ok, trying this site.

Here's the mostly translated site, for what it's worth.

My mom has long hair, but I'm trying to imagine a typical short hair mom cut.

Here's another simulator that actually looks better. I kinda want to try it to see what I'd look like with hair period. Ha!

Jacob, lookit here:

Pretty sure this ^^^ is exactly what E is looking to avoid.

That almost counts as a mullet. My mom is an ex hippy so her hair hasn't changed since I was....born.

lol hippie I meant.

FWIW, I found that mega-short hair on me with my square, wideish face wasn't a look I liked too much. I have a short bob, but I dont think I'd ever go back to a cropped cut like these. Its hard to know if it'd suit you E, just musing on my own face shape!

OK I found a different website and IT'S AWFUL but LOOOOOOOOOL look at my awesome new hair:

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c287/expatrica/Makeover.jpg

As bad as the site is, I'm thinking maybe I can actually go short? hmmmm. Fuck it, I think I'm going to do it.

I am so deleting that picture in about 5 mins, btw. Also, haircut will not look ANYTHING like that - hopefully.

lolllllll!!

do it.

Despite the awfulness of the simulation, I think it's a really good look!

oh boy!

i mean, girl!

yeah e sorry i had nothing more valuable than a lol--you should srsly do it.

nothin' to add to current discussion — i would just like to note that the answer to the original question is of course 'classic'

(BTW, it's frickin' 2009, people. Are you really telling me that someone hasn't whipped up a functional Flash hairstyle simulator by now? One that looks like it doesn't belong on a Geocities page?)

OMG this thing is so amazingly bad - I just had permed fire engine red hair that was really something else.

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I think I might go for it. O_O

If I don't chicken out, of course. lol.

tbh I don't find short-hair on girls attractive. if they're a cute girl, they'll still be a cute girl w/ short hair, but I can't think of a situation where I wouldn't prefer long hair.

I got a haircut yesterday and the stylist did a weird center part w/kind of wings, like a 19th c busker, or Archie, or what we used to call "butt hair," because the hair formed the shape of a butt on your forehead. Important lesson learned: never google image search "butt hair."

hahahahaha

i just did it, against your advice, but i don't regret it. a google image search for "butt cut" is a little better.

Did you have safe search on?

in a summer program I attended, we used to make fun of my roommate for having butt hair

nope, safe search off for life

http://mynameiscola.blogspot.com/2009/02/our-perfect-butt-cut.html

Mama requested our butts to be cut really short & she loved it.

I kind of understand - dogs don't wipe their butts. I've always found it gross how dog owners are okay with their dogs not wiping after pooping!

if someone pooped on your arm, you wouldn't be ok with merely wiping it off with a paper towel. you'd probably want to wash it with some soap and water at some point in the near future. but yet we're ok with wiping our asses with toilet paper and walking into a business meeting.

all i'm saying is that i think i want a bidet for my birthday. ok, back to haircuts, sorry.

yeah but the two cheeks hold in the bad stuff - I think you want to imagine what would happen if somebody pooped into your armpit

hold on, still imagining

shit hair on girls: classic or dud

Our Lhasa Apso Chop-Chop used to get poop on it's but hair all the time. It was so gross. Those dog owners are geniuses imo.

its not it's, dammit

I have been tempted w/the short hair to bleach my hair again – last time I had it this style + blonde everyone called me Abb13 Warhol, which was awesome. I don't think I can be blonde in AZ w/out invoking BREWER SPIRIT tho.

thinking about this:

cute!

well i probably won't get the guts to do it, and if i do, i'll be miserable about after a week, but i am certainly feeling the urge!

i think that would look good on you!

although i think i could pull it off better now then i did last time i had it super short - i was totally incapable of styling it in anyway, something which i'm way better at now.

although i think that girl needs a different hair color because that ashy blonde is not well-matched to her skin tone at all.

lol @ althoughs

there's a mail-order eyeglass shop that lets you "preview" how their glasses would look on your face --
isn't there something similar for hair?

classic!

^^^

Not really a fan of short hair on girls but it is girls' decision to make, so good for them

see that's not even short hair to me
short is like SHORT cannot tuck behind ears short
that's just a normal bob!

a cute normal bob!

here it was at it's shortest:

short hair and alpaca sweaters on girls: classic or dud?

booming post

short is like SHORT cannot tuck behind ears short

this is my take, really. ENBB's hair is shorter but not really short hair

my hair is relatively-average-male length but has been longer than my sister's twice in the last few years!

I agree as well but many people wouldn't. To me short hair is the pixie cut pic I posted upthread 2 years ago.

pix or it didn't happen

If I can ever get over my "Don't look at me, I'm hideous!" attitude towards photos, I will.

This would have been a really useful infographic to hand to my barber a few months ago, when I finally chopped all mine hair off.

"Third over, third down, please."

I just watched the first episode of Orange is the New Black (dreadful) and the flashbacks to Piper with short hair, that haircut is like WTF

(tried to GIS it to no avail)

Brooks and Hepburn own it.
