Hope me with my new haircut? I'm chopping it all off![More:]No, not bald (did that in high school, once was enough), but my hair is way too hot!

It's long (down past my shoulder blades) and I can't take it any more. I usually get one big chop at the start of the summer, but my broke ass couldn't do it until now.

Does anyone know of a website with haircut photos that actually has, you know, photos? All I can find is spammy crap sites with 80s hair pics.

My appointment is right after work! If you come across any pics in the next 3 hours, post them!

I'm looking to get it between chin and shoulder-length. My hair is wavy so I have to get some sort of layering. I want it choppy/edgy but still professional, and not crazy high maintenance (I won't spend an hour on my hair in the morning). I always tell hair people what I want, but they turn around and ask for a picture, and I won't have time to dig through the stupid hair mags.

Help? Thanks, bunnies!
Hmmm. This site has some nice pictures -- these are mostly curly hair but there's some wavy stuff too, so you might see something that you like. Anyway, all the pics are on one page so it's easy to glance through.

Hey, this looks interesting too.

Oh, crap, you have to register. Sorry 'bout that.

This might be exactly what you're not looking for, but it's the one big resource I know. Scroll down to "Photobucket hair albums." I love this a lot, and I like this (both with layers). Page through and see if you can find anything you like!

Sass, I've got the opposite problem, as since November I've been growing out what my x used to call the 'Angry Lesbian' haircut (think Annie Lennox, complete with platinum bleach job).

Things to consider as well as how straight/curly your hair is, is the thickness (how MUCH hair you have), the growth pattern (does it lay down as sleek as Ziyi Zhang's or stick up like Alfalfa's from Li'l Rascals?) as well as the texture (how fine or wiry your individual hair shafts are). All of these factors are going to make a significant impact on any styles you choose, so your best option is to pick a few different styles in the length you like, and (hopefully) your stylist will be competent to work with your unique head of hair to recreate the look as closely as possible... or even better point you in the direction of a look that will work.

The reason I say this is because I've struggled for decades with my own thick, coarse, cowlick-infested messy mop of hair. Those of you who pine for thick hair? Rest assured, there is such a thing as overkill. I can barely even get it into a ponytail because my hairline comes all the way down to my shoulders in back and no, I don't have a short neck. I was very fortunate to find a stylist in Boulder who has the same sort of unruly mane as I do, so she's awesome at finding clever ways to cut it attractively.

IMO, that Ashlee Simpson 'do is only going to look good on someone who has fine, baby thin hair. On someone with hair like mine... well you'd be lucky not to look like Cousin It most of the time, unless you are willing to wage a styling product jihad every morning.

I really like Kelly Osborne's hair in this ≡ Click to see image ≡pic, but I need a better picture of it.

I know of several, but I am at work and can't remember the bookmarks. I will email you when I get home, but I think I posted one before, let me check my prior comments.

I found one, the other in my post was a duplicate of this one (oops), I will look when I get home.
