Or maybe it is
because I looked like Cousin It from behind that now my automatic reaction is
shorter! This is sad news for my mom, of course, who wailed "Why did you cut
my hair?!?!?!" when I unveiled my nape-length hair back in 2009.
My hair grows really fast (thank you, Hawaiian genes!) and I've had periodic cuts--not trims--since then. Now that it's summer and wicked hot, I've been thinking of snipping off maybe 2 inches or so. Stylists don't really agree on my face shape--some say it's heart-shaped, while most say round. In my humble and unbiased opinion, I think my face is as round as a watermelon and punctuated with a pointy, mango-ey chin. Sort of in-between Reese Witherspoon's and Jay Leno's.
In between researching genocide/honour crimes, teaching English, and attempting to have a fun summer, I've been Googling "short hair, round face" to find inspiration cuts. Here are some of the cute ones:
I'm leaning toward the last two styles--Kristin Cavallari's and Kristin Kreuk's--or some sort of an in-between that would suit my face shape. I'm liking the reddish colour of the woman in the first pic, with maybe a few highlights and lowlights done baliage-style. But we'll see. It's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, after all!
