VERY short hair cut

19 years ago

Firstly...I'm female. middle aged with very fine hair. I have been considering a very short *spikey* hair cut for spring/summer. I wear it pretty short anyway, but I like the gelled, wet look. Since my hair is so fine & flat I thought this might look good. My hair dresser said it would be so cute on me.

Question: How do you feel about this type of hair cut on a woman? Do you think it it unfeminine? What sort of jewelery do should I wear? How about clothes...should I stay away from tops w/collars? Tell me what you think...

Hope I get some feedback....

I think it sounds cute.

I'm think you will look quite feminine, but you can be sure to wear earrings, simple necklace chains, nice make-up. You should look spectacular, and very hip! I don't know about collars but I think you can wear any kind of top you want.

One thing about hair, it's not permanent, so if you don't like it, it will grow out. Give it a try.

socks, thank you so much for your reply. I just need some opinions. I'm afraid I will get it cut & regret it. But you're right ...it will grow back.

but think I'm gonna do it!

Hairspray for fine short hair?
Q
Comments (16)
The one I keep going back to is one they only sell at Walmart in a white can that says PROFESSIONAL across the side and they sell two different ones but the one I like is the one that says it's like Vavoom. I have not tried the other one. I think this one is very popular because they are sold out many times. I have extremely fine limp medium length hair and it holds really well without spraying out of the can so hard it blows my style away which many canned hair sprays will do. Everything else I've liked has been discontinued...if I had to buy something else I would buy Big Sexy Hair spray and play harder I believe is the one. The actual Matrix Vavoom is not any good, but it's generic version from Wally's is awesome!

sweeby who knows... you actually looked very familiar to me as well. No kidding... ashley, I know, I was just playing around. And in few years i might actually need glasses and maybe I do have gray hair, just hard to see on blonde hair. :) and my hair would have to be dark, my whole family is very dark, I am the only one blonde. thanks ceph. I actually found all ladies looking VERY nice. thanks imamommy, I couldn't figure out how to open it. Well i guess we are not anonymous Internet posters anymore but are real people. :)

Your opinion: long or short hair on both sexes

Long (bottle) blond hair on women seems to be socially required around here. I see many women who've missed the 'cut off' date for that look (blond or not). When Mom poses with her HS or college-age daughter, and they have the same hair-extension look...really time to let it go, Mom. I dislike the five o'clock shadow sported by some men. It's prevalent in advertising -- along with gender-confusion. I used to see that on high school boys eager to display their new 'maleness'. Our DS laughs as DH and I roll our eyes at his various styles of beards. He looks best to me with a haircut and freshly shaven. He and his BIL used to compete for bizarre hair cuts, and lengths, and *colors*. I like to see people who are well-groomed in styles appropriate to their ages. They're self confident. They don't need to display anything to be noticed. They are past adolescent rebellion.

My sister, who is 63 years young, has been wearing her hair spiked (and stopped coloring it) for several years now and it looks great! She was always the conservative one growing up, so the first time I saw her with her hair spiked, it totally surprised me. She really looks good with this hair style, very feminine, and gets lots of compliments. Go for it, as socks said, it will grow back. Once you get your hair cut, go home and experiment with your clothing and jewelry.

I used to wear my hair very short in the 80's. It can look very cute and feminine. I always made sure I wore earrings to look more dressed up with short hair. I never wore large heavy necklaces with short hair.

I think Elizabeth Taylor looked fabulous when she went to short grey hair.

I think it really depends on the woman.Some look great with it! I for one can tell you I dont like how short hair makes me look.I feel much prettier with long locks...BUT TO EACHES OWN!
If you already have kinda short hair,go for it! If you hate it ,it will have grown out by the end of summer.

Thanks everyone for the replys! One question i have is, what is it about chunky necklaces and very short hair? I have a couple of sort of heavy choker styles that I like...would that look odd? I always wear make-up..especially eye make up and always earrings some small some large depends on how I feel. just curious about the necklaces.

I'm 60 and that's the way I wear my hair and I love it. I think the chunky jewelry would just add to it. You go girl!!

I think tahoe is right,the necklaces would add to the cut.If anything it will draw more attention to the necklaces because your collarbone (which is partly hidden by alot of women's long hair) will be visable and shown off more.
Sounds like you have a great sense of style!
