I got 5 inches of hair chopped off

[verycontrary247]

And I'm regretting it.

My mom asked if I got a perm too then said it looked like I was wearing a wig. I feel like it's a cross between lil orphan Annie and Reba Mcintire.

It's okay when it's still wet, but once it dries completely it gets reaaaaally floofy and frizzy. I haven't really had to deal with curly hairstyling in years. Halp.

It looks good! The pic looks great but if you have frizz days some product will go a long way. Hopefully some curly hair girls chime in with their favs!

[W.T.Faulkner]

Give yourself a little time before you decide you hate it. That's a big change! For what it's worth, I like it. It strikes me as edgy vintage, rather than Reba. lol

[hungrycaterpillar]

I see no Reba here. I like it! Give it a few days and I think the floofiness will ease a bit.

[tacokick]

I think it looks cute! Have you tried straightening it? Maybe run some anti frizz oil through it?

The good thing is that the bangs aren't too short and neither is the rest of it, in a month or two you could side sweep the bangs and the length might start to weigh down the waves.

Edgy vintage is the perfect description!  I do think it looks good on you.

Super cute cut for summer! Not Reba at all-more of a rockabilly vibe! You're sure to meet this rockabilly dude tonight!

I think you were made for bangs but agree that a softer brow would look great. It's hard to see the exact style with the wave but if you find it still doesn't suit you after a few days, a couple little tweaks could make a huge difference. I think short hair will look beautiful on you.

[blondemoment123]

It's cute!

You look sexy. I find that my wavy/ curly hair responds best to old fashioned Dep gel used in teeny tiny amounts. Also elnet & some pomade.

PS I love Reba but you don't look like her at all.

[Mrs.Rad888]

I think it's adorable and edgy at the same time. Years ago, I got like 10 inches of hair cut off and it took me weeks to figure out how to style it. I think a little curl product (I love Moroccan Oil curl defining creme) and dry with a diffuser or just air dry will help tremendously. Also, even though your natural curl is more pronounced, using a curling iron will help control the curls and give them some definition. 

[Jalapeñomel]

I like it a lot!

[speckledfrog]

I think it's great! I agree that with bangs a softer brow would make the whole look awesome. Your mom is a biotch and your hair is fun and sassy. Making a big change like that is always nerve wracking.

I think it's a fun change for summer. Now that you have bangs, though, I would tone down the brows.

This is what happens when I'm having difficulties making them even lol

[mrsukyankee]

I love the cut. I think you look fantastic. I use oils in my curls to help with frizz.

My favourite is: NUXE Huile Prodigieuse (because you can also use it on body/face plus it smells nice).  I just use a few drops, spread between my hands and rub in when damp (and sometimes again later if needed).  Really absorbs well.

A less expensive product that I got from CVS last summer that works well: argan oil

[Waffles]

Don't know who Reba is but it has a cool vintage / rockabilly look to it!

[boxertdog]

That was not very nice of your mom.

What lol?? How old are you? Are you American?

[RoxMonster]

I think it's adorable! And I don't think Reba at all.

[jinkies]

i think the hair looks adorable. give yourself a few days to get used to it.

Didn't ML already have an eyebrow intervention with you a few years ago?

[Cricket0619]

Try pushing your bangs off to the side a little bit.

It's not just the thickness, it's how heavy the brow pencil is, maybe try and powder?

It is a powder

I can't tell 100%, but it looks like your brows in your avatar are thinner, and look pretty good. Try doing them like that again.

mp and I have already had an eyebrow powwow. The situation is under control.

[meganew]

I love the hair on you!! The bangs look great!

[dowagercountess]

The cut is very trendy. I want to redo your brows though.
