Aside from bangs trimmed, you'd be right!  I haven't had it cut since that bob.

Here you go, profile pics as requested.

It's a cute cut... but you have to have the right profile for it. That's what's called a 45 degree graduated bob, and I couldn't tell you if it'd look good on you without seeing a profile view of you first.

And that doesn't look like what you had. What you had was straight along the jaw line. It looks like a blunt bob.... and something tells me you haven't had a hair cut since.

I see many advantages to the graduated bob,  but going by my past experiences a bob has never turned out well for me.

I'd say no. Your face is rather bulky, and the graduated effect in the back would kinda look silly on you. Not only that, but your hairline has receded quite a bit (or at least your temples have), and the shorter back would not go well with a high hairline like that. You may actually want to look at getting some extensions up there to make it look a lil fuller, but first read on before considering that.

I would seriously say step 1 is to thin the hair out a bit from mid length. Your weight line (google it) is really causing an issue with your style.

Also, you see how in the haircut you chose, it goes from being short in the back, to short in the front? Well I think you should reverse it a bit. Make it longer in the back, and graduate to shorter going towards the front. Make it a soft blend, meaning instead of a straight line, curve the weight line. The way your face shapes from your nose to your chin would go well with that.

You really need to texturize those sides though. Or get some layers. That weight line is very heavy compared to the amount of hair you have on the top of your head.

BTW that pony tail is a bad idea for you. It shows your balding temples. Either pull some of the sides out of that band or get it cut so that it wont go in there. I have the same issues (though not as bad as you) and that's what I do.. and a pony tail actually looks pretty cute on me!

So are we talking something like these?

The middle one would look good on you. Just get shorter bangs. Also, the middle one looks either point cut or razor cut (but I'm not too sure). If you don't want such a choppy effect, ask them to use texturizing sheers and not a razor, and not to point cut. Either would look fine with you, but I'm not sure razor cut would fit your personality. And get your sides cut so that it hides your frontal corners (both when you have a pony tail and in natural fall). Don't you dare get the 3rd 1 lol. Not for you!

Oh, and DON'T forget to maintenance that hair with some good product! Her hair is beautiful and healthy and it wont have the same effect on you until you do something about it. You may need a keratin treatment, or you may just need a really good conditioning. Your hair will not look so shiny and healthy unless you seal the cuticle! GET SOME CLARIFYING SHAMPOO if you get it dirty, or the buildup will also make it look dull.

Okay, I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow. I'll take the middle picture plus your notes with me. Thank you for your help. And yes I will post pictures. unless it turns out badly. Then it will be back to hat shots

Ha! Good! I hope it turns out well! Cant wait to see!

Second one for sure 

well, armed with the 2nd picture and the suggestions, my stylist went to work and here is the finished work.



which still looks like a bob to me. But I do kind of like it. ^_^

It looks good on you! It really does. You look much more feminine! Now get that hair colored

Whats important is that you like it.

When I get time I will. My Stylist thought my natural hair Color was pretty. Oh, and she read your notes Alainaluvsu before starting. She asked me if you were a stylist. I told her that yes, and she really helped me out on this. And she told me how much fun beauty school was for her when told her I had considered it, kind of as a joke because I can't pick a good one to save my life. But I think I will stick with this one. It reminds me of my Mum to be honest. And I get most of my looks from her.
thank you for all that. *hugs*

Its up to you. Darker, cooler color was just my opinion. The red on your face iant so bad when you have brighter light, but its still there.

My natural hair Color is a deep brown/black color.

Awww! I just read the rest of your post. I may cry lol. You are so welcome honey. Im very glad you are happy with it! She did a great job.

On a side note, school is very fun. Anybody who gets into fashion should consider doing it! The book work you have to do once you get to clinicals is minimal.

You give me hope K.

You're welcome, though I'm not sure what help I provided. lol.
But never ever give up hope. It's like the last line of defense. Lose hope and you lose yourself. I almost did once. I don't want to go back there again. BTW, my Eldest Stepdaughter's name is Tori. ^_^

I'm your eldest stepdaughter?

Your new style looks great! It frames your face quite nicely. I think you actually look a bit like Kari Byron on Mythbusters. In my opinion, anyway.
