Question New hairstyle help needed!

Well, in a moment of temporary insanity, I told my 19 year-old hairstylist that I was ready for a "change".

I let her pick the style, and an asymmetrical bob was the result.

It is definitely a style that needs to be "pulled off". Particularly if you are a 50 something chickie.

So, what are your thoughts? Should I head back to school this week with my "new do"?

Thanks for your help!

I didn't see a "It is a great haircut and you look gorgeous" option so I said yes, why not?

Really, It is very youthful and I love it.

If you like it, I would say ROLL with it! I once got my hair completely Victorian Beckham when I was 8 months pregnant! I cried right there in the chair. Not only was I fat as ****, my head now looked like a basketball.

Cape Breton Chick, Sunshine, Julie, Leah - thanks! I appreciate your comments!!!

Thighs I shouldn't laugh, but I've been there, more than once. Thanks for your post - you made my day!

Bargoo, that really is the question, isn't it. And the answer is, "Yes, I think I do". I just don't look like me

And, whoever voted "maybe:, and "what were you thinking", thank you! I really appreciate your honesty!

Funny you should say that, because I'm jealous of your curly hair!

I've had so many bad perms over the years, that I FINALLY decided to stop fighting it and find styles that work with fine straight hair.
