Tom, I need a second opinion. I've been wearing my dark brown hair in a chin length bob for years and recently decided to change stylists. I found a woman I think is wonderful and whose opinion I trust. She recently cut my hair to just below my ears with it very short at the nape and beautifully layered. I asked her what would be a good style for summer that would not require much fuss, and she said "Short. Very short. You have the eyes and facial structure to pull it off."
So here are my questions: I am 46 years old and am not trying to look 26. Does short hair do this? Also, the shorter my hair is, the more body it has. What will that do if it's really short? I've been thinking about doing this for so long, but I'm scared simply because it could prove to be the biggest mistake of my life. I have great hair and don't want to screw it up.
