    I had variations on the bob, the first one looked like "That Girl" and the second one was more modern and shaved/cut down in the back. The first time, it was cut shoulder length. The second, I said to my chin. I don't remember giving them specifics. I do my own hair now. I haven't cut it in so long.

    I've only had a few haircuts since my hair is short. With long hair I usually told them to just trim it and to shorten the front so I could see again.
    With short hair it's not so easy and I for my current cut I tell them to cut the left side pretty short (about 1 cm or something?) and to keep the top (about 4 cm maybe??) and the right side (somewhere in between, maybe 2,5 cm) longer, but with an obvious side parting on top and kind of a blending in of the short hair on the left to the longer hair on the right so that the back of the head doesn't look ridiculous...
    But to make sure I show them those pictures:

    and tell them I want a mix of the two...
    Maybe it would be easier to just take a picture of my actual hairstyle and showing that to the person cutting my hair?? Eh, too easy ;P

    haircut more like "holy shit go get your haircut" as my style is "hasn't cut it in over a year due to being a nasty busy lazy cheap ass", check these crooked dead ends

    I never know what to say, so what I say always ends up very vague and I just pray for the best :lol:

    Same here - just a trim like once every 18 months to keep it symmetrical and get rid of split ends.

    Currently its down to my waist.

    I usually just bring pictures for my hairdresser to reference. She never disappoints. My most recent series of cuts (over the past year +) have been done for cosplay reasons; I cosplay Terezi Pyrope from Homestuck, and I just use my natural hair because of the way it naturally shapes itself + how it looks after a fresh cut.

    She's the one on the far right; I used this exact image last time, actually.

    But I always get some kind of side bangs and keep it somewhat short and choppy; can't go too short cause my hair will just foof at the sides instead of staying weighed down and wavy. I've been curious to see what would happen if I buzzed parts of it, but I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment. The next cut I'm getting will be more about on the top than on the sides, and maybe even shorter than what I got before.

    I recently went short after shoulder length hair for years. Want to go shorter though! (yet it just might give away m sexuality... oh well, sorry mom):eusa_danc

    It's just above my shoulders and layered. I would have it longer but my hair is really (literally) fine so if I do that it gets all whispy and weird. So basically I just get it trimmed haha.. I used to have "messy bangs" but felt they looked to juvenile on me so now I'm growing them out and trying to accept my giant forehead

    My dad cuts my hair now. When I get a haircut, I want to get rid of all of it, so it's relatively easy. Now that I want to grow it longer again, I'm thinking about going to the hairdresser's once every now and then to fix my sideburns and nape.
