I have an oval/round face (probably more oval) and was wondering if a p!nk style haicut would suit me. (shorter on the sides and longer on top so it can be spiked up or worn as a fringe.) maybe im dreaming. What do you think? Thanks Hi there

Just do me a favor and avoid the dreaded "stacked bob" they couldn't be more over. No Becka, possibly just the opposite if you get lots of volume, short hair can really balance out a fuller figure.

I've noticed the easiest way to start short with a fuller face is to have plenty of height in the crown area, and keep the length either at or just below the chin. I hope this helps!

It's brown (with blond streaks and a little snow),wavy (and curls) and frizzes at the first hint of moisture. I keep hoping this is all a nightmare and I will wake up with long, straight blonde hair. For me, long hair is actually easier for me to care for. I have tried short hair (thanks to occasional sun damage) but only had one cut that worked. I grew that cut out because I missed my long hair. Right now it's layered and extends about 6 inches past my shoulders. I know what's been said about pig face but my long hair does minimize it so I. CAN forget about it! I guess any length is OK as long as you work with the hair you have! I have a real love/hate relationship with my hair.

I've been wanting to get a short cut for quite some time, especially now that it's getting close to summer, but i'm worried it will look out of proportion with my body. When I was in Jr. High, I made the mistake of getting shoulder length hair, and I did not like it! But that was 7 years ago, and I've actually learned how to do my hair..Anyways, i've had long hair since that incident, and I just am afraid of getting like 6 inches cut at once and then regretting it.. Not sure what I should do! I’m uhh a size 20, but I don’t think I have a chubby face, and I have an oval shaped face.

I coveted long hair. Well, I've recently been able to afford really good hair extensions and found someone very skilled to do them. And guess what? Long hair didn't do it for me. So we experimented. I still have extensions (and will always have them now), but I have a sweet inverted bob, with lovely THICK straight bangs. And it works. So, my advice is, experiment. Eventually you'll find YOUR fabulous style (and remember it either grows back or you can buy more!!)
