still in need of haircut ideas

[orangerful]

Do you guys think this style will work on me?

Natalie Portman in Closer

I'm not sure if it will work with my face...or with my light colored hair. Should I do something insane and dye my hair ? I'd have to dye it red of course, as my mom's hair is brown and it might be weird if I dyed mine brown...

I like to keep it short and simple...though interesting. I might go for a Leigh Nash style haircut...maybe not that exact one, but something a bit crazy but not too crazy...something I can brush out, shake my head and be stylin'.

Please post some suggestions/pics of cool haircuts that you've seen around. Even if I can't wear them, it might give me ideas. I like bobs, I think, so variations on "the bob" are always good. Keep it above the shoulders, yeah? But not super-short...yeah...

One hour and 15 minutes!!!

EDIT spitefairy sent me to a very pretty Jossverse picture site with Aly haircuts - so right now I'm leaning towards this one

yeah, I'm leaning towards the Nat bob - short, simple, no way the hair cuttery place will mess it up hehe.

I'd go for the Natalie Portman one, The Leigh Nash one is really pretty, but unless you want to spend an hour styling it every morning it will probably look like a pageboy cut most of the time.

If you want something in between those you could try getting Alyson Hannigan's short, choppy bob.

hehe, that site must have naughty stuff on it because the library filters won't let me go there. Is alyson NEKKID? I'll check out the pic when I get home. I always like Aly's haircuts, I had the flippy one from season 6 for awhile. super cute

It has pictures of her as A SEXY LIBRARIAN!!! I'll upload the pic to my own server and post it in a moment. I love her cuts too. I used to always get my haircuts inspired by Buffy or Willow.

Actually, try paging through here, there are so many great shots of her with different short hairstyles.

wow, there are some cute cuts there! Makes me want to dye my hair red too hahah.

That was odd how the site would not go through, first time that has ever happened to me at the library.

I would like to state that Aly has one of the sweetest smiles ever. *saves far too many pictures for graphics purposes*

I've always loved 'bobs', but my hair requires straightening. But, if your hair can dry straight on its own, then I say go for it! I might suggest having some layers cut in so that if it's looking a bit messy one day, it'll look like it's supposed to be that way. :)

It all depends on what you want to have your face look like... the shorter the hair, the rounder your face tends to look... the longer tends to elongate your face.

You could always go with a fire-engine red 'bob', and I could live vicariously through you. ;D

*points at icon* I've been trying to keep mine on the longer side to make my face look narrow. :)

You could always start off with a little baby-bangs job, and/or dyeing of your hair.

bobs work for me because my hair behaves itself until it hits my shoulders. Then weird things start to happen - one side flips under and the other side flips out (but not in the cute Drew Barrymore in Wedding singer way, more in the "dear god did she even brush her hair?" way) plus when it gets long, it always seems to become a grease magnet and just ends up looking grody quicker than usual.

My mom always hated long hair (even though she had long hair before I was around) so she would always try to get me to cut it really short. When I was a kid, I rebelled and had long hair...but it really is a pain in the but when you decide you want to look presentable for work...then you have to know how to style it and such. I have no styling skills to speak of, so I need short and simple.

I might do something insane and go red. Gotta ask which box o' color to purchase. Don't know if I'll go fire engine red, but Scully/Willow red has always been a dream of mine...

The same thing happens to my best friend! I wonder why that happens...

Ugh... I bet with all the summer humidity you get, hair styles are probably difficult to manage, huh?

I have no styling skills to speak of, so I need short and simple.

Heh, I had to have my baby sis teach me the basics... ;D

My cosmetologist friend always recommended Clairol, but I always hated how much it left my hair fried. My b-friend said that her stylist over at Toni & Guy said that Revlon now has some good reds out.

Yeah, Willow's and Scully's color is the fire-engine red I was referring to... not the Manic Panic shades. (Which are fun, but can be inappropriate and/or difficult, depending on your natural shade, to up-keep.) ;D
