And The Winner Is...

The winner of the haircut challenge below was number one. Thanks for all the comments. I also got subtle highlights as suggested. HOWEVER....I'm not that happy with the cut. It's much shorter than I asked for and because my hair is so thick, it looks like a helmet. The good news is I can probably flip it up like picture 3 if I want to. I'm also thinking I just spent over a year growing my hair out so that the stylist could cut it EXACTLY the same way it was cut in the picture to the left. Am I insane??? Someone please slap me.

Sorry the pictures are a little blurry. Hard to take them of myself and I'm not the most photogenic person...LOL

    Christine, while you may disagree, I really like your haircut. You know, everytime I get a hair cut--even if it's the same style, I think it's too short or too . . . but after a few days, I discover I like it. I hope that's the way it works with you, because I really like it. It doesn't look too short to me, and rather than a helmet, I think it's nicely shaped.

    OK - I do agree the stylist cut it too short. It was supposed to be longer on the sides with longer layers. But don't stress! Let it grow for two months, then go to a different stylist and ask her for a light trim that resembles the picture you were originally trying to copy. I've had this same thing happen to me when I've gone in for hair cuts. Some stylists think they're doing you a favor by cutting it shorter than you want so the style lasts longer - when really, when you're making a big change like that - you really do want the haircut to look just like in the picture.

    Even though it's not exactly the style you wanted, I do think it's a nice haircut. Just wait until you have a few days to play with it. You'll find some ways you like styling it. I think some flippies in the back would look awesome.

    LOVE the highlights!!!

    I think you look beautiful, Christine! I think your hair looks smooth, shiny, and the highlights are perfect! Also, you look so smart and dignified. I think it suits you very, very well!

    hair-cutters are my worst enemies! LOL, just kidding. Dentists actually are. I've found very few who actually will cut the length that i ask for it. So, i'm not surprised to hear it went a little short. Well dang. Sorry about that. Either way, it looks really cute on you :) I LOVE the color. it looks super nice! :) :)

    I agree with Danyelle. It's a nice haircut, it just is shorter than what you wanted. Let it grow a bit and then it will be perfect. The last haircut I got was in July and I'm just now realizing that I like it!

    hey, try flipping your hair out in a style similar to the third one. I think it'd end up looking way cute and totally flattering! The cut you have NOW should be perfect for it.

    You know, it's nice to have thick hair! I don't want mine to thin! I love it being thick. Your hair looks nice--I love the highlights! Thank you for sharing!

    You look great! I know what you mean about cutting your hair only to look like you did a few years ago. Happens to me all the time. What's the deal with that? I'd love to have thick hair!!! Beats fine, limp, thin hair any day.
