Short Hair Don’t Care

June 6th, 2014 by Karen 84 Comments

So, um…this happened!

So much for keeping it long. El Hub is super cranky, LOL! You know boys and long hair… Whatevs, he’ll get over it. 🙂

My friend Alis at Fox + Stone salon in Corte Madera did a loose a-line razor cut. See how it’s shorter in the back and slightly longer in the front?

She kept the same base color, a warm chocolate, and added copper highlights.

I’m really happy with how it turned out! Even though I love having long hair, my head feels so much lighter now. I no longer feel like I’m wearing a 10-pound hat. And if I get bored, I’ll just start the long process of growing it out again. Gives me something to do!

    Wow! I love it! It is still long enough to put it up but short enough to be a good change. I’ve been debating doing the Posh Spice bob for a while, but this is something in the middle that would be fun. Thanks for the inspiration and you look amazing as always! <3

    It kind of bothers me when people are like that about hair :-/
    Men and women have the same capability to grow long hair. I don’t know why it’s seen as this inherently feminine, pretty thing. I’ll still be a woman if I have short hair, and a man will still be a man if he has long hair. I just don’t get it!!

    You have the best hair EVER and I love this style!! I saw a picture of you on another blog yesterday and it struck me that you wore your hair up, and while I thought, “What a waste of all that gorgeous hair!!!” , I understood that in hot weather it must just be easier to tie it up and away. So I can imagine that going shorter really lightens you up!!!
    I’m also glad it’s still mostly dark; it suits you so much better than ligher hair! This hairdo rocks!
    (I am not stalking you, but I’ve been researching a lot of products to which I suddenly have access because Sephora now ships to the Netherlands, and then I often find your reviews LOLOL!)

    Karen your new cut is absolutely gorgeous!! It just makes you look so fresh and sophisticated! Don’t pay too much attention to what hubby thinks. Btw, if he thinks your new style is “short hair” he would probably cringe if he saw me sporting my chin-length modified bob. Shorter hair styles often help accentuate bone structure and end up making you look even better yet many women just can’t let go of long hair.

    I think it looks lovely on you! 🙂 Really classy but also feminine, and in my opinion not short at all (when I think of short hair, I think Mia Farrow crop). It’s also really easy to grow out too from this length.
    Considering doing a cut like this myself this summer, going off to South America for work so won’t have time to style and look after my stupidly long hair.

    really, so gorgeous Karen !!! Every woman who has long hair want to take a step to a shorter cut at a time of her life. You choose the right length, not to short, still long, and it definitly emphasizes your femininity. As a french woman, i’m saying : “magnifique!”

    That cut looks great on you. I too cut A LOT off last month from all the way down my back to shorter than your cut. I’ve been getting a lot of comments from that it looks good but also, “Does your fiance mind that you cut your hair?” I really don’t care what my he thinks actually, but he likes it. I know the feeling that it feels so much lighter. It has been so much easier to manage.

    Your hair looks great! I recently cut mine to a similar length, maybe a little bit shorter, which is the shortest it’s been since middle school! My husband had the opposite reaction though, he said I should have gone shorter!

    The red in my hair looks brighter shorter too, it seems like. The ends of my hair weren’t in great condition.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
