I have similar hair and I've rocked the asymmetrical bob before, a la Victoria Beckham. It depends if you want to go that short. It takes haircuts every 6-8 weeks, but it's easy to style and looks full, IMO. Whenever my hair grows out, it tends to look scraggly and finer because it doesn't have much volume, so short hair creates the illusion of volume for me.
Do the folks recommending side swept bangs have them? I feel like they would be in my face and drive my crazy. Also how do bangs like that work with glasses?
What about a color change?
I have side swept bangs, and they drive me crazy. Glasses don't cause a problem though. Straight bangs are better, but you'll need to get them trimmed every 3-4 weeks.
I think a shorter bob would be great. I do have thicker hair and it won't lie right. My friend got a bob when she was losing some of her already thin hair due to medication. It looked great!
