Help my pic a new haircut

[notsocreepylurker]

I wear my hair in a ponytail every day because I cannot stand it in my face, on my neck, etc.  I decided I needed to bite the bullet and cut it short short.  I've been avoiding anything shorter than a just-above-shoulder bob cut because of being so overweight.  But it cannot be good for my hair to be pulled back every day, all day.

Sooooooo

here's a pic of me at work (hair pulled back).  Any suggestions of short styles that don't require a lot of work and won't drive me nuts?  I've googled the heck out of pics but I am too critical of myself to make a non-biased choice.

I'd love a cut like Jaime Lee Curtis or Ginnifer Goodwin but not sure if they'd look OK on me.

I had a pixie cut while fat, so I don't think that is a bad look. I was complimented on it all the time. (eta: I am still fat with short hair, lol)

What kind of hair texture do you have? I think that makes a difference.

Thanks all!

SallyJ - I LOVE that pixie cut - I might try it.

I would consider bangs BUT they can't be longer than my eyebrows or they bug me/hit my glasses.

I like it! The side swept bangs would be super fun.

Have you thought about color too? I think some highlights could be nice.

I totally have a round face and I'm plus size with glasses so I'm right there with you. But I have a pixie! I got it about 2 months ago (I'm actually due for a trim it's so long) and am in love with it. I too wore my hair back or up all the time. It was pointless to have the cut I did (an inverted bob) when I kept pinning the front hair up. I too hate having it on my neck though I have had bangs for many many years.

in short do it! I took in a college of pixie pictures and walked out with something like this:

And I repeat I freaking love it. It's hair. It grows back if you hate it. Do searches for pixies with round faces and see what you come up with. There are tons of Pinterest boards and the like dedicated to plus size with short hair.

Thanks all -- I am at a point where I really don't care to do anything with it so pixie cut it might be.

Here's a pic from Sept/Oct before I cut it to shoulder length - you can kind of tell texture

Figured I would update with pic after I cut it all of -- this is my Judge Judy inspired style today

i like it!

get yourself some styling wax or pomade or whatever and chunk up your hair. it'll be awesome.

i love my hair short short but it's thick and wavy and i always end up looking like my mom. le sigh.

I can't believe I'm about to post this, but I'm a big girl and here is me with a pixie cut.  Honestly, it wasn't the most flattering cut with my chubby face, but I don't think it was terrible.  I do think that a chin length bob would be the most flattering.

I liked this cut a lot, and all I had to do was put in a little product and then blow dry with a round brush.

Just one more set of pics.  Similar to the cut above, but I think it's a little more layered.

Oops, I'm a dummy and didn't realize this was an old post!  I'm jealous of how great that is going to feel in the summer heat!

[notsocreepylurker]

DirtySouth Thanks for the pics! A bob would be better probably but I am very NO maintenance and would never style it. And it'd annoy me being in my face. I love the highlights you have!

[KateAggie]

I think it looks great.
