caedmyn Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 ...that's low maintenance (quick to style) and keeps hair out of your face without clips or scrunchies or headbands? I have never had a hair style I actually liked and I am tired of braiding my hair or using clips, but I cannot stand hair flopping in my face either. I have shoulder length hair with bangs. I'd be willing to cut it to chin length, but no shorter (no pixie cuts!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Long, straight, with face framing layers? I was thinking something like the one Alyssa Milano has here. You may have to blow your hair out with a brush to get the layers to sit right but after that it would be pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltf928 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 After 30 years of having hair below my shoulders, I had to cut mine a few months ago. I have an autoimmune disease and styling my hair is very difficult due to pain in my shoulder muscles and joints. Anyway, my hair is now above chin length in the back and right at chin length in the front. It's a very edgy cut and I get stopped almost every time I go out, which has been very nice since I've struggled emotionally with cutting it. I got my ideas from Pinterest. If you look, there are a lot of nice hairstyles. There is one of a redhead with purple coloring, that's the cut I now have and I LOVE IT. It takes me about 5 minutes to style it. There was a learning curve and it did take about a month for my hair to learn to be short, but it's been worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 In my former life :D I had a career and short hair. I had a stacked bob kinda like this (even though this is a little girl, LOL). It was easy to just blow dry and go. It always looked cute just like it was, but then I could put clips and stuff in it if I *wanted* to. I kinda miss it, to be pefectly honest. :) I have long hair now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) I have a chin-length bob with no fringe (bangs). It stays out of my face unless it's windy. It's roughly like this. I just roughly blow dry it with my head upside down, then brush the ends underneath. Laura Edited January 8, 2012 by Laura Corin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laura I like this look...but maybe with bangs, because it would take a long time to grow my bangs out to chin length. I wonder if that would work for me though--my hair has a lot of body to it and it just poofs out near the bottom. It was even worse when I blow dried it! Actually my last cut was a chin length bob, but I got way too much poof with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There really are "right" brushes for blow drying and Paul Mitchell Skinny Serum is awesome for sleek, non - poofy styles. I use a flat iron when I want extra sleek form, but even then, it is a 30 second job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shellydon Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) My hair is cut like this http://www.simplyhairstyle.com/964/2011-chelsea-kane-medium-layered-hairstyle The secret to good hair is a really good, expensive, cut. If you have poofing hair, you have to get it chipped or razored out as the last part of the cut. This youtube video shows how a good stylist cuts the hair, dries it, then finishes the cut after it is dry This video shows the hair cut both wet and dry.

I just roughly blow dry it with my head upside down, then brush the ends underneath. Laura :D Totally how I picture you based on nothing more than your signature LOL. Very cute style! OP, I have long hair. No bangs. Mine is heavy and coarse, so it doesn't fly in my face if I leave it down. I have a friend who has long hair, but her texture is different and she's always getting these flyaway strands. They don't bother her, but they remind me of little gnats or flies she's always swatting away. That would drive me nuts. If you hair is like mine, grow it longer and ditch the fringe. My hair stays out of the way long and down, but it takes all of 3 minutes to wrap it up in a bun, pony, or large hairclip -in a nice way, not a messy jawclip kind of way- for those "fancy" days LOL. The longer it gets, the heavier it becomes and the flatter it rests. I can bend over to tie my shoe, and it won't fall into my face. Love it. Plus aside from a brushing here and there, it's definitely low-maintenance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
