Come here and tell me if I can pull this off.

I have a hair appointment this Saturday.  I am lazy and don't forsee myself using the blow dryer all summer.  We don't have central air.  Drying my hair sounds miserable.  I'd also like to lose a little length for summer.  fuckyourcouch inspired me with her bob.

So.  I'm thinking something like this.



What says ML?

[pittsmcgee]

I love it!

[karmasabiotch]

It's cute but I prefer a layer bob vs. the longer in the front kind. It's bordering on a reverse mullet for me. I know it's very fashionable right now and I'm not generally ever in fashion.

[Jalapeñomel]

Do it!

[hopecounts]

Really cute,do it!

I love it! It's really cute and seems like an easy, summer cut.

[SKP82]

I love it.

I'm a big fan of the inverted bob.  It's my favorite haircut on just about anyone.

i like it...almost. hate that it is shorter in the back. it screams 'mall hair' to me. lol. but if the back is as beachy as the front, then i am all.over.it. LOVE the front and sides.

I plan to buy stock in sea salt spray this summer.  Beachy is exactly what I'll be going for.  I love the front and sides, too.  The back scares me a little, but I'm pretty sure if I told my stylist to go longer with the layers in the back, it'd be less mall-y.  Right??

I'm also contemplating some version of the color.  Eek!

I like it. I think it would be really cute on you.

It is similar to how I have my hair cut. I just scrunch and go. It dries wavy. It's so easy.

[pantsparty]

But will your hair dry like that? That style looks blow-dried and curled.

[textbookcase]

Absolutely! It would look great on you.

[papie]

What @booby said. I think if the top layers in the back were longer, it would be super cute.

Oh but I also agree with pantsparty. My hair would not behave that way naturally.

[gozf]

My hair is pretty naturally wavy, so I'm pretty confident that I could get it more than decent without heat styling. I'm good with a curling iron in case I ever needed to touch up areas or have it look more dressed up.

Yeah, it actually looks high maintenance to me too. I have naturally wavy hair and would still have to style a cut like that, especially in the front. Although I guess a curling iron might do the trick, provided I had enough time to let it air-dry first.

[bugandbibs]

Love, love, love it!

[ax2]

I love it, but it would take blowdrying and curling to get mine to look like that too. If your hair will do, it's awesome!

[Deleted]

mine is longer all around and the back isn't as different in length from the front and i usually part it in the middle, but other than all of those differences i just got the exact same haircut and I LOVE IT. it looks purposefully messy when i don't bother fixing it, and when i do decide to blowdry it takes about half the time it did before.

[bananapancakes]

Yes, I love it! I hear you on the hating to blow dry in the summer thing. I don't know what I am going to do this summer. This is my first one in a house without A/C in a long time. I was just thinking today about what torture blow drying is in a hot house.

And you're happy with how yours air dries?

I swear, I haven't blown my hair out since March.  Wait, that's a lie.  I did once, and it looked funny to me.  I've totally embraced my messy waves.

most of the time, yes.  my hair is mostly straight and a little wavy; i think it it were naturally wavier it would look even better.  the only problem i get sometimes is that the bottom layers closest to my neck flip out when air drying, but that's more due to my length than anything else.

That is super cute.

I'm unhappy with my recent (unexpected) chop.

But my hair won't do that.

You could also consider:



It would have a similar effect with the curls, but I like the bangs better.

I used to have a similar cut (I used the same picture, in fact) and I LOVED it. loved. 

[snickers]

I love this haircut!

I'm sorry you're unhappy!  What happened?

Also, I'm sure it's not bad.  I get INSANE about my hair.  It's irrational.

It's just shorter than I'd wanted.  I asked for two inches off.  I got like five inches off.

Objectively speaking, it's fine and looks exactly like it did last time I got a chop.

But the point is that I didn't want a CHOP this time.  LOL.
