Short hair.

Ok two questions,

One is do you think that short hair only looks good on thin people? I keep hearing people say this, and it's driving me insane. In my opinion it's a difficult cut to pull off, but it looks good on any body type, but I was wondering what you guys think.

Secondly is, would it look good on me? I really want short hair, but I don't know if it would suit me, what do you guys think?

Well, you look pretty thin to me in those pics, but I am a firm believer that in almost all cases fat people shouldn't have short hair period.  I'm also of the belief that almost anyone (very few exceptions) even if they look good with short hair will look better with long.  Before you cut it, i suggest you try something else.  Like a shaping, maybe highlight etc.  Some new makeup.  Anything else not so permanent first.  It's pretty traumatic if you chop it and you wake up thinking you made a mistake.  I've had to do it a couple of times, not by choice and I get depressed & gain weight.  Think very VERY hard before you do it.

If I were you, I wouldn't.  I think you'd look better with a spunkier longer do, but just consider how long it takes to get it back first.

OMIGOSH!  I think a short cut called a "bob" would be too cute on you!  No shorter than chin lenght, though.  Kindof like Catherine Zeta-Jones in Chicago, about 2 inches longer. :)

You better post pics though so we can see how it turns out! :):)

I think Short hair looks good on older and mature people.

I like the bob idea. I'll definately consider it, and post pictures of it! Thanks cjeka!

I think you would look adorable with a short cut! Let us know what you decide:)

  This all depends on the shape of you're face, larger people tend to have a rounder face frame (This doesn't look good with shorter hair) but there are still some plus sized people with face shapes that can and will compliment a short hair cut. I hope this helped.

I was plus sized and had short hair. And it was cute! Nothing wrong with that. Just make sure you pick a style that is appropriate for your face shape :)

You look thin enough to have short hair.

I think you'd look awesomely cute with bangs and some reddish highlights.

i love short hair.  i say go for it. 

I never realized ppl think you should be skinny to have a shorter hairstyle I have had a short syle for yrs now its sorta like a bob but a tad longer and it looks good on me and I get complimented on it alot.

angie, i think it's the audrey-hepburn, pixie-waif thing.  but i agree - it's not necessary to be tiny to have short hair.

I'm with pgeorgian, I think no matter what size you are you can look good in any hairstyle. I think ang1 looks pretty in her pics with a shorter syle but hey thats just me.

i say go for it, but try to get it cut at a place where they know what they are doing!  there's nothing like a bad haircut (we've all had them).  That said, the coolest thing about hair is that it grows back...nothing is permanent.

Your young, you have plenty of time to let it grow out if you dont like it. Length is all a matter of personal preference. What do you like?

Hair grows back!!  For me, changing my hair is the one thing that keeps me sane.  I was single and childless for years and moved all over the country so I was use to change all the time.  When I "settled down" with family, changing my hair is the easiest way to keep change in my life.  Cut it, dye it, iron it or perm it! 

By the way, on the skinny thing... When I get really thin, my reward will be the Mia Farrow, "Rosemary's Baby" look - the hair that is - not the unhealthy look.  I wouldn't do this now because my face and body just couldn't pull it off.

Whatever you want to do, really. I have short hair, and the thing is, older people compliment me on it, and younger people tell me it looks weird. So if you do something drastic, be prepared for mixed reactions.

But I don't think you have to be super skinny to pull off short hair. It depends on a lot of things. I think you'd look pretty good with short hair, personally.

But really, it's your hair. You don't have to listen to any of us, you should do what you want with it, okay? =)

I have short hair, and i've tried long hair and it just doesn't suit me... or my life. I don't have the time and patience to bother with it. Yet short hair i just spike up and walk out. I honestly don't care what people think. I've had a full on mohawk, i've had hair down to my shoulders... but i like it short. 

I've had short, kinda spiky hair, and it looked good.  I read you're not supposed to get that kind of haircut if you're pear shaped because it makes you look even skinnier on top and bottom.  But it always depends on the person.  A girl who's confident can pull off pretty much any haircut.

i dont think you should cut it. you look really good with the bangs in the first picture... and i think it would look cute if you did that again and maybe cut it a lil below your chin if you really wanted to cut it.. but dont get it short like a boy cuz you have somewhat of a boyish face (dont take offence.. i just say that cuz you dont wear makeup it seems and whatnot. i most likely worded that all wrong.. but im really not trying to offend you!).

I've had short hair when I was thin and it looked good. Actually better than long for me when I am thin because I have a small head and long hair hide part of it. I think short hair are more difficult to pull off when you are NOT thin because they reveal more of your face and if you've got a round face, well it's more visible.
