Pick a style...any style!

How in the world are we supposed to choose a hairstyle?  Sheesh!  There are thousands of hairstyles out there and let's face it, most of them look good on someone, but it doesn't mean those styles will look good on us!  Like many of us, my hairstyle hasn't changed much over the past several years.  Truth be told, I was very happy with it until my daughters recently told me they would like to cut their hair.

If you have seen the pictures of my daughter's hair that are posted on Hairdirect.com, you will understand how a request for a haircut made me shake in my shoes!  Their hair is gorgeous!  Cut it???  How could they be so unkind to me?  After all, I'm the mom and I have to buy my hair!!!  Tee hee!

The fact remains - they need (and want) a haircut.  UGH!

Since there aren't many chances to get a haircut right, we started with magazines. 

"I like this one!"- "Mom, that's the one I wanted!"- "I like that one, but with straight hair"

It all boiled down to one question.

"What will that haircut look like on me?"

Can anyone answer that question?  No.  It's impossible.  The models may look fabulous in the cut that is in their picture, but if you put some of those styles on me, I would look like last years feather duster!  So, my research began.  Where can I "try on" a hairstyle before I watch my precious hair falling to the floor as it is being cut?

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to give you my 2nd highest recommendation ever.  (For those of you who are wondering, Supertape is still ranked as my number 1 choice!)

OH MY WORD! I've been DYING to find some sort of generator that would show my face w/ different hairstyles. Thank you SO much for sharing this! You're such a blessing, babe! :-)

BTW- all three of the styles you posted look absolutely fabulous on you. I particularly like the "Straight Long # 142 Black." It's very casually sophisticated- therefore versatile :-)

Thanks again :-)

You could pull off any of these hairstyles, but I personally think #142 looks nifty.  I do think the darker brown looks best on you as well.

About Babe with a Mane

My natural hair has not been seen for over 20 years. It has hidden under wigs and weaves, under toppik, colored sprays, couvre and dermatch. My growing hair is a significant burden. It takes too much time to try to fix it up to be presentable, too much money to try to fix, too much energy to worry about and conceal. Every day, I used to wish for great hair. Every day I was ashamed of my thin hair. Every day, I woke up feeling confident, feminine and sexy inside. Then, I looked in the mirror at my natural hair and those positive thoughts were robbed from me. My natural hair forced me to feel unattractive, timid and insecure. I know who I am inside and I wanted to project that image to everyone else. To do that, my hair had to change. Women who are bald or have very thin hair, are not considered "socially acceptable" in the general public's eye. I wanted to be considered socially acceptable, my natural hair wouldn't let me. My dream hair allows me to lead a normal life. I wake up to my guy nuzzling my neck while my soft hair is brushed aside. I jump in the shower to wash my hair. I look in the mirror to see a confident and sexy woman, looking back at me. I don't waste hours trying to disguise myself to fit in. I blow dry and curl my hair and go to work with a spring in my step. I don't catch others staring at my thin hair while trying to have a conversation with me. The same confident, self assurance that I feel inside is now projected on the outside. There are no further internal battles between true persona and an incongruous outward appearance. I am finally, after a lifetime of dreaming, able to project an image that reflects the confident, sexy, intelligent, feminine woman I truly am.

Not born with hair, but I've got the intelligence to find it, the job to pay for it, the patience to "stick" it on just right, the will to make it work, the confidence to wear it boldly and the smile to wear under it!
