I have long hair, with no layers (and some bangs) that come down pass my boobs, and I really need to trim my split ends (it has come to a point where I can't brush it - I guess this is what's making it look unflattering).
I first thought of just trimming it, but I like using the iron to curl my hair, and layers definitely helps when it comes to curling. Yet, they are hard to maintain since it's pretty much all over the place if you don't style it. So I'm still on the fence about layers (plus it took me a good while to grow out all my layers).
And then after thinking for a while, I figured I might just go super short since it's easier to style and my head doesn't feel so heavy. But it's a biatch growing it out, especially when it's passing the shoulder length (which takes forever.. gahhhhh) and I don't get the versatility long hair provides.
Also, my bf thinks it'll be weird if I go short (he likes long hair -_-;;).
What do you guys think I should do about my hair?
I've always wanted super long hair, but I just think my hair isn't structured to grow long. It gets damaged way too easily and makes me look really messy.
1. keep growing and just trim!!
It'll prob. end up like this (don't mind the half-do..)
just look at the length
2. Go super short!
(sorry.. I don't have any surviving pictures with my hair all in it :p)
3. Add layers and keep the length
or a shorter version which is trim + get layers
4. cut it near your shoulders (no layers)
sorry.. this is the only picture surviving :'(
I was drunk! LOL but just try to look at the hair length
5. Just grow out your bangs and don't cut anything
6. Forget it Catalina. don't do anything. Just maintain it somehow.
What do you guys think?? any thoughts???
**PS. can you guys spot me in the first picture? LOL it's my peek-a-boo picture at the Rockefeller center :p
happy me :p hehehe
Oh, and for those of you who didn't come to my blogtv yesterday
I was showing off what my penguin got for halloween :)
please don't tell her to lose weight. In the penguin world,
chubbier = prettier XD

i vote for 3.5 - get a trim and get layers!! that way you can still do all the styling you want and get rid of all the icky split ends.... personally i would say no to growing it super long because it looks really heavy and cumbersome.... I know some people who have really long hair (as in past their butts) and it looks kind of silly because it's this giant mass of hair that they can never really style properly and stuff and in general really icky.... >.< hope you find something you like though!
ReplyDeleteI personally really like the first picture among the batch of short hair photos. I think you looks really mature and chic with that haircut. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you want to keep the length and get more style, I agree with Sam.
ReplyDeleteAnd I so agree with you! Once it gets past your shoulders it grows super slow. I thought my hair was the only one growing super slow, haha. I think all guys like the longer hair since they can play with it, lol. I like the bangs you got with your short hair - you look a little older with a short do. And your penguins are cute as always!
I like you with short hair! You have petite features and the haircut really frames them.
ReplyDeleteOh! I forgot to ask you, have you seen the new Banilo Co. palette? The packaging is love! You should try to get your hands on them! The colors are so you, lol.<3
ReplyDeleteGet a trim like 2 inches with side swept bangs. The layers shouldn't be as sharp with the last layer being more blunt. How does that sound?
ReplyDeleteI think number 3 fits the best! :) It's still long and looks cute and fashionable.
ReplyDeleteI think you should grow out your bangs and don't cut off too much length. :D It kind of gives you a classy look. annnd you dont have to worry about growing your hair back. :)
ReplyDeleteI dont know how bad is your hair situation now, but if it is really very dry and split ends all over then of course you have to go for a big chop, otherwise just cut them into layers first to see if it helps with the dry ends. A big chop doesnt mean the super short hair - I think just dont cut too short as Bethy Beth, lol. My hair is very fine and dry but I am still growing it (but it grows slow), it takes me like 3 to 4 years to reach my boobs. I think I have to go for layers first. Anyway, as my hair is fine so it doesnt look like if it is too long. I am going to investigate some hair extentions. There is a Youtube Guru Lollipop26 she plays with hair extentions recently and it looks good and fun.
ReplyDeleteAnd about the first photo, are you just in the middle (bottom) of the pic?
grow out bangs !
ReplyDeleteI think you look super cute in the first black and white pic of #2. I love that hair style on you without tugging your hair behind the ears. If you don't want it short, I think #3 with shorter and trim looks nice too. But again, #2 is really chic and sophisticated.
ReplyDeleteoh, and I think you look better with bangs.
ReplyDeleteyou should go short like the second hair like boa's hair right now ^^
ReplyDeleteI vote for #4... maybe it's because I JUST got a haircut of that lenght, but I think it looks so good on you since you have a oblong and slim face :D You can always make the front a little bit longer :P
ReplyDeletePersonally, I have never been a big fan of short hair. It just doesn't look as... feminine? I am sure guys would agree since most of my guy friends have said the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI think you look best with #5. Long hair looks good on you. Especially when you don't have layers. I think layers tend to make the person look as though they don't have much hair.. as in balding, LOL. It's never a pretty sight, I tend to cringe when I see girls with layered hair. They didn't have THAT much hair to begin with, layering is not going to flatter them. Oops.. I am rambling...
Anyway, I am more of a classic kind of girl. I love #5.. most Asian girls look good with that kind of style. Especially with nice features as yours! =) Hope this helped.
Short hair really suits you :P
ReplyDeleteu really look like Ga In with ur shorter hair.. it's kinda exotic on u! Personally I think u should keep ur long hair and just trim the ends regularly.
ReplyDeleteI actually like all those hair styles on you, but if I have to, if I HAVE TO pick one, I'll pick the shorter version of trim with layers. I actually have the same hair style on me right now but it's really easy to take care of and pretty when it's styled in any ways! Well, I still like your full, long hair with lots of body to it, but it would be nice to change once in a while,too I think!
ReplyDeleteGirl~ long hair looks gorgeous on you, but I think you should try cutting to chin length framing your face and then getting side swept bangs, it would look great on you! Something similar to your 2nd pic.
ReplyDeleteCut off a few inches and get layers, you'll feel lighter! Having short hair is always gonna be an option - long hair, not so much since it takes so long to grow. I'm currently growing out my hair, too. It's the first time in 8 years that it's been that long.
ReplyDeleteI like super short on u!!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in No.2 first pic!
You looked soo cute with super short <3
ReplyDeleteabout your hair...I'm choosing number 5- growing out your bangs coz yea I think that looks great on you... Aren't ppl back into the half parted long bangs thing again? If you can be bothered going through the uncomfortable time of growing it out~~~ Coz honestly sometimes I can't stand it when it gets to an awkard length. But I'm also loving the short do as well becoz I'm all about short-medium length... hope it sorta helps~~~ I say go with something with a difference!!! hehehehehe....
ReplyDeleteI vote 5! I love your long hair, but if you want to change something, how about making front short or change color? I cut my hair today. My hair stylist adviced me to make front hair short. I really like it.
ReplyDeletehmm..uhh..I don't know either! Because I have the some problem...long make my face look fat(ter) haha but too short isn't flattering as well..so maybe i'll just go for the layers again...or only long in the front shorter..aa i'm not helping am I?!:p haha ok ok...if I had to choose for you I would say go for short! because it looks good on you and it's easy to handle:))
ReplyDeleteI vote for get a trim and layers or to just grow out your bangs.
ReplyDeleteAll of your hairstyles looked good.
Number 5 looks really nice! If you want layers, but not the high maintence that comes with it, get frace framing layers in the front only. :)
ReplyDeleteOh and of course cut the split ends! XD
ReplyDeletei love how you look with layers!!
ReplyDeletedef get trim and layers. it looks really really realllyy nice! :]
wow guys.. thanks for all the input! I appreciate all of your opinions :D I will definitely try to find a balance between all of your comments!! ya'll are so sweet!!
ReplyDelete* @cutieshiny: LOL I was going to put "the Bethy Beth style" as the last option seriously haha XD
you are so lucky to have a long face so you can get any of the haircuts! personally i like the first pic with short hair :)
ReplyDeletei say go short! i went short because i have the same problem as yours, my hair gets really dry and looks too disheveled when i try to grow it long.
ReplyDeleteLol I would say keep it long and grow out your bangs :)
ReplyDeleteI think it would look good on you plus, I used to have really long hair as well that was few inches up from my butt (LOL- but my hair is slightly wavy so it looked a bit shorter) and I decided to cut it off to my shoulders and even though it's lighter I can't do as many hairstyles and I'm bascially just waiting for it to grow back out again. :/

ReplyDeletei think the super short hair really frames your face, it looks great on you. you kind of remind me of ueno juri.
ReplyDeleteWow... you look freakishly like Faye Wong in 3 and 3.5... (that's supposed to be a compliment, I think she looks amazing).
ReplyDeleteI really like the short hair look, you're super cute with it, but personally I just love long flowing hair :P The layered version feels a bit "fobby" to me, and I love long thick voluminous hair (+curly waves), so I'd say, if you don't have thin hair like me, thick hair is so much sexier.
The short cut is way cute on you! Only a few can pull that off
ReplyDeleteshort hair photo number 1 :) you look super chic with side swept bangs!
ReplyDeleteplus when it grows out you'll have an excuse to experiment with extensions!! xxx
shoulder length!!!
ReplyDeleteI think long hair very much suits you and you should keep it that way. Some people stand out more with shorter hair. Others are better with longer hair. You are the latter. Keep it that way. You are a fab girl. Great blog by the way.
