Get Shorty!

in Haircare and tagged with Short Haircut

Over the years, I’ve tried many hairstyles. Long, medium, short, very short, permed (yeah I know!), curled, colored (blue black, black, brown, light brown, magenta and the controversial bright pink!). In my opinion, changing hairstyles is the quickest, and relatively cheap, way to update your look. I usually feel a lot better emotionally too after a good haircut, dunno why. But whenever I feel a bit depressed, into the hair salon I go.

Lately I find that I lean towards short hairstyles more and more. Maybe because of practicality reason, since becoming a mother I simply don’t have time to blow dry or straighten my hair after every wash. But I think the most important reason is because short hairstyle feels like me. And I’m a lot more comfortable with it than with long hair.

Recently I got a haircut which I decided I don’t like. It wasn’t short or long, sort of medium-ish layer with short bangs. And I don’t like it that way, I want it either long or short. No in betweens. So I’m planning to go back to the salon to chop my hair off some more and before I do that, I wanna make sure I’ll be able to communicate clearly to the hairstylist about what kind of haircut I want.And to be able to do that, I need pictures.

I browsed around this website and here are some styles I like :

How about you girls? Dare to get shorty?

Koukla, gw suka foto yg ke-3.
Dari dulu pingin get shorty juga, tapi apa daya my hair has very fine strands just like a baby hair dan tipis otherwise I’m dying to have those short haircuts.

Model rambut pendek spt foto2 diatas sepertinya mesti diblow/styling juga ya spy gak lepek jatuhnya.

Fi, gue suka banget model yg pertama!! Mo gue tiru juga yaaaa
Kayaknya potong pendek itu kayak kecanduan Fi, sekali gunting, gatel pengen gunting terus.

lil Monkey – Fine strands kan bagusan pendek, toh? Rambut gw juga udah fine, diameternya pun kecil, jumlah totalnya pun cuma 5 lembar *sesenggukan*

Padahal pengen punya rambut panjang, tapi akhirnya pendek melulu.

June 27, 2009 at 10:56 pm

eh lupa.. Gw suka yg terakhir. Pendek di belakang, panjang di poni. Cuman gw pengen lihat sisi sebelah sononya kayak apa, ya?

June 27, 2009 at 11:10 pm

Fi, gue suka foto yg no.1, mo nyontek ya kalo bisa
Gunting pendek tuh bikin kecanduan, bentaran udah pengen gunting lagi!
(Ini gue nulis komen ke-3 kalinya, Maika ikut pencet2 mulu)

dun_dan, iya gak bisa punya rambut terlalu panjang juga krn jadi keliatan tambah tipis. Jadi bisanya shoulder lenght gitu deh. Kalau dibikin spt model diatas keliatan spt abis sakit tipus atau kata adik gw kayak tikus kejebur got….:D

Kalau rambut elo cuman 5 batang, rambut gw cuman 3 kali ya? **sesunggukan dipojokan**

love no. 3. unfortunately i’m not patient enough to wait for my hair to grow long enough to be able to have it chopped like it. yeah, i’m just a short hair freak. whenever i have to comb my hair (instead of just using my fingers in the morning) i’ll run straight to my faithful hairdresser.

lil monkey,
mungkin itu bisa tanpa blow.. asal ada wax aja untuk ngasih tekstur…
gw pribadi suka nomor 3 ama 4… kayaknya patut dicoba nih… tapi perlu nunggu rambut gondrongan dulu 1-2 bulan ke depan…tapi gw bakal sabar ga ya ngegondrongin rambut?
gw kayak Bea euy soalnya, short hair freak…:P

I already got shorty since two months ago. I used to have super short hair for years till I decided to grow it out. But now, I am back to my old short hairstyle and I looooove it. Very practical . But it is also more high maintance, coz I have to go back to the salon every month to stay well styled.

antPop,
Nanti ya kalo udah potong lg dipamerin hihihi

lil’monkey
Rambut gue jg lumayan tipis dan cenderung lepek sih sebenernya tp kalo dipanjangin justru keliatan tambah nggak ada kehidupan gitu hehehe As for the styling, kalo mau yg oke banget sih emang pake di blow tapi biasanya sih gue blow seadanya bgt dan diacak2in pake wax aja. Kadang2 gak pake di blow malah…

Nopai,
Pai silakan ditiru pai Emang bener banget, kalo udah sekali potong pendek pasti pengennya potong terus dan gak pengen yg nanggung2 yah

sanetya,
Emang atlet badminton gimana sih bok rambutnya? Hahahah ada2 aja lo..

Debbie,
Gue sinyalir sebelah sononya mirip kayak gambar no.3 alias ada “jambangnya” gitu

bea,
That sounds cool! I’d love to see what your hair looks like (kali2 bisa nyontek hehehe)

bittersweet_cho,
Ternyata malah ada yg nggak sabaran nunggu panjang ya hihihi

purplerebel
Diit gue udah liat rambut baru lo di blog lo, cakep dit! Bener juga ya, emang sebenernya rambut pendek itu high maintenance karena mesti sering2 dirapihin kalo enggak bentuknya gak jelas!

awwwhh pengen banget motong rambut sependek itu lagi huuhuh… dulu gue kurus berpipi tirus gapapa rambutnya pendek, nah sekarang berpipi bakpaw bulat, ga tega deh potong rambut pendek2.. Anyway gue suka yang no 4, cuma kalo rambutnya agak2 ikal PR kali yah? apa harus di smoothing dulu baru potong?

July 6, 2009 at 6:41 pm

AD
Are you who I think you are?

yokekomik
Iya bener, gambar no.2 itu emang keren kalo bentuk mukanya mendukung yah. Gue akhirnya potongannya kyk gitu tp dimodifikasi dikit, menyesuaikan dengan wajah martabak gue ini hahahaha
Btw kata “jongenskoop” itu udah lama banget gue nggak dengeeeeer!

MrsMunandar
Ah gpp, gue jg tembem cuek ajah hehehe Tapi kalo rambutnya keriting gue gak ngerti deh ya mesti diapain dulu. Mungkin juga mesti dismoothing dulu..

Finally I’ve got my balls to get shorty…thank to Koukla for this encouragement blog!
Hubby said I look more fresh with short hair and oh not to mention it’s very practical indeed especially when you have 2 monkeys toddling around whole days. Oh my….where have I been ?

July 6, 2009 at 10:28 pm
