I have 2 hours to decide whether or not to get all my hair chopped off
now I know this will seem silly to you boys (and less vain girls) but still, I can't decide! Those of you who know what I look like, do you reckon I could pull off a flicky bob thing? Or will I look like a lesbian? I'm tempted to copy that bird from the Saturdays but I think she only looks like that because she has a stylist following her around.

Everyone else: Have you ever made any massive mistakes in the image department? Photos if possible. Points for the best. AA isn't allowed to compete.

I feel your pain
Every so often I decide to have my hair chopped and then dither for ages and finally decide against it.

Long hair is reasonably versatile and imho needs less styling.

However, I was swayed by something I saw on TV a few weeks ago - I think it was something that someone terrible like Cat Deeley said (just kill me now) that apparently as we wear our hair every day we should spend the most money on it.
Oddly good advice. Must take it sometime.

I haven't had it cut in nearly two years so it'll be nice to have a change and I have felt a bit boring of late.
