Yay for picking out cute new hair styles. Last time I went to the salon, my hair girl mentioned that I'll have to figure out what I want to do with my hair once it grows out (I'm trying to get it to shoulder length, but obviously the trich spots will need more time to catch up). That sounded so foreign to me.

My stylist has always explained how to style it the same, but it always takes me more time and effort to replicate it. Duh, because I'm not a hairstylist by profession, so I lack the skills and experience. :)

I had a trendy short haircut 2 years ago, but it brought out a lot of perfectionist tendencies in me, and I totally over utilized the styling tools (my flat iron), so it damaged my hair pretty badly. Once my hair grows out, I definitely want something that is low maintenance, something that looks good, even if some parts of my hair are wavy and others aren't.

If I need to spend a lot of time fussing with my hair, I think that will bring out the trich in me.

Still, it's so exciting to get a new hair cut. Keep up the fabulous work!

I want something low maintenance also. That's kinda the POINT of getting it cut in the first place.

Will be demanding lots from my stylist. If she/does a crap job I will go nuts, and I'll inform them of this before they start. Haha. First one in over 10 years it better look damn good!

Umm 203 days pf. It's pretty easy at the moment, ahhh nice. Enjoying it while it lasts.

Hi Sam, I am fairly new to the pull-free-a-ton board, but I have always enjoyed your posts on the support group discussions.

I don't have time to read this entire thread (man you've got lots of support here!) but I read the beginning and then the last 10 pages -- it was so exciting watching your count UP to 200 days PF!!!!

That is so fabulous -- my hero! Hope to be there one day, planning my new hairstyle!

Thanks for reading so much of my thread! :) Yes I have soooo much support here, you can see now why I urged you to come here right? It's such a great little group, and we all have one common goal. Everyone is so positive, downs are quickly followed by highs.

Hmm ok, so I've been giving a haircut so much thought. And after playing online one of those sites where you can see how celebrity hairstyles will look on you, I have realised that if I go short, I'll have to go really short, like pixie cut short. Because any longer won't really suit my face. And cos my hair is curly, I don't think a pixie cut will be easy to maintain. Plus.... I love my ringlets and I really want to see them in action again. Plus I want to braid my hair again. And I'll be able to do none of this if I get a pixie cut. Hm. So.. I'm thinking I'm going to have to wait for all my layers to grow out. I might put pics of all the different styles up in my pics so you guys can have a look if you want and let me know your thoughts!

Ok pics are up, I like some, I don't like others. Be cool to get your opinion :)

hehe, it's funny to see you with all these different hairstyles :p

I like number 4 and 6 the best, when the hair isn’t straight. Cause from what I understood you don’t have straight hair.

Btw you’re really beautiful!!! You look like a diva in all these pictures :p

Very cool. I like #3. Ha, we aren't going to make this easy.

203 WOW!!!!

I like the Rhianna cut too. I'm a huge fan of bobs.

I like 2, 3, 5, and 6. It's weird, one minute I think a pixie cut will suit me, the next, I don't. If I had straight hair I think I might go for the plunge, but I don't, so maybe not.

Below chin length I think it will have to be.

Haha Lien, thanks.. I reckon I look rather dopey in this photo. But it was taken on the day of my friend's wedding when I was a bridesmaid so I have lots of makeup on. I need to carry that makeup artist girl around in my pocket hehe.

Phoebe I like the Rihanna cut too, and guess what, on this online program that very cut was an option. I tried it on, and jeez it did not suit me one little bit.

204 days pull free. I should really achieve something today....

I think the chin-length style looks really nice (I like 2, 4, and 6 the best, but 4 would probably be the easiest to achieve if your top layers are shorter). The good thing about chin-length, rather than pixie length, is that it's easy to grow out longer if you want to. Pixie cuts are adorable, but they're a real pain to grow out, so if long hair is your goal, I don't know that I'd recommend it.

For the record, though, the first time I went for a pixie cut (this was before I'd ever pulled from my scalp), I was extremely on the fence about whether it would look good on me. I was afraid I wasn't skinny enough, or my nose or ears were too big. But I tried it, and I loved it, and everyone loved it, and it was grand. Only problem was that a lot of the hairs stuck up, which made me want to pull them, but with curly hair, those might stand out less and not be so much of a problem.

By the way, you're absolutely gorgeous, and I'm TOTALLY jealous of your eyebrows. I know you'll look beautiful no matter what hairstyle you choose. :)

Thanks for taking a look Emmy! :) And for your very generous compliments :)

I think if I had a lot of money I'd get the pixie, cos then when I wanted to grow it out I'd get extensions until it was past chin length again. Cos I agree, growing out a pixie must be a pain, particularly with curly fluffy hair! (Been called a poodle before).

I have similar feeling about a pixie style cut - I did oce have my hair short when I was pulling (I was about 16 and thought getting it all cut to one length would make it look better - yes it would have IF I STOPPED PULLING which obv I didn't!!!! Am reluctant to go there again.....but I think when all my hair reaches chin length (IF I DON'T PULL) I will have it cut about chin length - then if it doesn't look awesome (never had chin length hair before) I will grow it out. Oh the dreams of someone with trich!!

Haha, I know. I feel like I have two voices fighting in my head.

I found a person who is willing to cut my hair so I can wash it and let it dry naturally, and that has been wonderful. The cow licks go the way they want to and a simple comb through keeps the tangles out.

What ever you choose, it will look beautiful on you!

You can do this! Over 200 days!

Wow wow wow!!
You are going to get a haircut Sam, can you belive it. It feels like you joined this group yesterday ! Time really flies.
I like them all!! The cuts, I have a thing for short hair on chicks, so nr 1 is my first choice, then nr 5 and 6.
i have butterflies in my stomach, i'm so excited for you!!!
