In the Rose Garden / Rapunzle, Let Down Your Hair: Hairstyle questions/advice thingy

OOOOOOOO-KAY!

So I'm sure there's several of us that kinda want to get a new haircut, new hair color, want to shave our hair off, or want to try new styles. The only problem: We're not quite sure what to do, try, color, or use on our hair. Hence, I made this thread! (Shoot me down now if there's already a thread up like this, or it's not necessary. Whichever comes first.) So, now you can come here about your hair-related issues and what not and we can try to help each other, granted without forcing haircuts on each other. XD

I'll start~:
I've been wanting to get my hair cut again for a while now. Last time I had it cut about a few centimeters above my shoulders, but now I kinda want it shorter than that. Short like Miki's hair, or like movie!Utena's hair. (Yes, I like their hairstyles. Don't judge me. emot-biggrin ) Here's my problem, though: I have the kind of curly hair that is horribly frizzy in wet/humid weather. It's also really thick.
First pic - after last haircut; before brushing, several hours after last bath
Second pic - before last haircut; shows curliness, dried after shower and brushed
Third pic - after haircut; average curl, hard to see in pic but it's between brushed-curly and chillax-curly

Anyone have any ideas? Yay or nay?

And start your asking/advice-giving~!

I have a slightly chubby heart shaped face and fine hair. I am sick of having a shoulder length style and am considering getting a chin length bob but my mother says it makes me look like a guy. Does anybody have new style suggestions besides those?

A bob would look fine and feminine on a heart shaped face. I would think it would be more flapper than boy in looks. The first cut on this site might be nice. http://www.latest-hairstyles.com/trends … faces.html and this video has lots of advice on styleing http://www.howcast.com/videos/508117-Sh … Hairstyles.

I have a rounder face, and I don't like a bob on myself personally, but it's worth noting that I have thick hair and bobs tend to look triangular because of it. My sister had a bob for a while and it worked very well on her since her hair was much thinner and it laid properly. Have you considered a pixie? I went from waist length to pixie a few months back and I love it.

Thick and tangly hair here too. If you have fine hair, maybe you could try a layering haircut. The classical uniform length bob tends to look like a helmet on most heads, mine included, and a bit of layering could give it an edge. Also the so-called lob, or long bob (with hair down to your shoulders but in a slightly bob-like shape) gives you the freedom to do more things with it, like curling it or tying it up, maybe even into a bun if it's of adequate length (Vogue says it's out of fashion but if it works for you...). And also the mentioned pixie if you're feeling adventurous. I chopped my long hair off to a pixie a couple of years ago and never regretted it, but it does require frequent touch-ups to keep the nice shape, it was about every month or so for me.
