Over a year ago, I made the mistake of getting highlights. A few weeks ago while brushing my hair, a huge chunk of highlights came out in my hand. After a minor (HA, major) freakout, I ran straight to the salon and chopped my hair off. I took in the following picture to give my stylist some guidance:
Ended up looking more like this:
Minus the heavy bangs and defined curls. I got some medium-thickness bangs, which I immediately pinned back because they hang straight in my eyes and make me look like I'm 16 again. My hair, once I took all the weight out of it, is trying to curl, and if that curl would stay my hai would look great. But no matter the product I use, I can't get the curl to hold and by midday my hair is just hanging there limp and dead. In the picture of Katie Holmes in the gray shirt, her hair has more of an A Line shape to it, whereas I got mine blunt cut and all one length.
However, I'm thinking of doing something else to my hair. I'm debating between growing my hair out to a shoulder-length bob, or cutting it all off, a la this Chanel ad:
There's just something so cute and free about this cut. The only problem I forsee with me and a short pixie cut is getting it trimmed every 4-6 weeks, which I doubt I'd do. I put off getting regular trims, and I know, it's bad for my hair, yada yada yada.
I think what I might do is get some layers added and then decide if I want to go shorter.
