Hair cut advice?
After my morning shower I blow dried my hair and took two photos:
I tried for a non-expression which just managed to look weird >_>:
I've had short hair since I was born (always above the shoulders) and as a child it was an upside-down bowl haircut which I had all the way untill my teens *shudders*
The hair is limp and pretty lifeless, unlike my sister's which has really fab waves and volume. Can't do much with my hair in that sense - the bonus is probably low maintanence?
However, I have to get a haircut every two or three months since when it goes past my shoulders, it looks exactly like giant dog ears D: And since my neck is short, it pretty much disappears under the hair at that point.
Ultimately I have two cuts: the graduated layered bob and the reversed/inverted bob. Sometimes, I'll throw in a regular angled bob like in the photo, especially when I need a quicky!cheap cut.
Would love to grow my hair but have no idea what kind of a cut would work with 1) limp hair without volume 2) round face 3) short neck >_>
Though if there's nothing that works then maybe a third medium/short haircut I could switch to, in between the aforementioned cuts. Would appreciate any advice :3

Have wanted to try perming my hair at least once but shied away from the chemicals and the regrowth issues - was it a hassle managing it?
That actually sounds pretty good since if I do grow the hair out and it looks like dog ears again, a perm would definitely give a new look without loosing all those months of hair growth immediately :D Eeeee, thankyou *glomps*
Hi btw, we've never met. xD
The downside is that it's a pain to wait for your hair to grow past that awkward middle stage, and if you're not happy with a fringe, you'd have to wait for it to grow out, haha.
Good luck! ^_^
Am trying to visualise the flow of hair not following the cheeks but not quite working with the image of limp hair lol
MIDDLE STAGES GRRRR
*hugs*
As for limp long hair, yes that's an issue, but it depends how your hair behaves when it's longer. My hair actually has a slight wave when it's longer (despite being limp and thin) and I had no idea it would do this until I *actually* grew out my hair. xD It also of course depends on if the slimming illusion of longer hair is more pleasing to you, or if you like the hair to look short and thicker. :D
*hug*
I'm not expert in haircutting structure, but I can say this: if you're in Paris, I'll take you to my hairdresser, who's a GENIUS. (I suspect you need layering to give it more volume.)
Always try to get layering in but as a bob!cut grows out, the style starts to drag and weigh down and the style gets bottom heavy :( Always an issue at this point - would love volume without losing length - probably need to find a type of haircut that adds in layers on the top, while leaving the bottom layers longer/the original length
It doesn't work for you?
I know my hair up in some sort of updo would work as long as I have enough hair in the front as side bangs to frame my face - however, have never grown my hair long enough to actually be able to keep it up at the back (the bottom layers tend to be pretty short) and the low ponytail doesn't really work :( The other issue is that as soon as its loose - the dog ear issue. Though just found a Daneel Harris haircut with a sort of slight perm (piccy) that might actually combat that...
I like the graduated bob. It's really cute. The reversed bob seems to suit people with a more angular face. Still, you can try to grow out your hair longer to see how it goes or get a fringe. I have one to hide my giant forehead. lol. Kidding aside, just try one. You'll be surprised at the difference.
I've always wanted curls but due to my limp hair, I can't get any.
The reversed bob shows more neck so I'm usually able to let it grow out for a longer period of time before cutting it :D The shortest I'm willing to go for bangs though are the cheeks (still remember what a nightmare it was growing out the fringe in my teens D:)
Gonna grow the hair and once the dog ear issue is more apparent, I'll try get some more layering in and cheek length bangs for framing the face :D Hopefully that will let the longer style work till I can get a perm (less curls, more waves?)
I knoooooow, every time I try to add in some, nothing ever stays in!
I think short hair is more high maintenance as you have to style it or it won't look right. Longer hair means you can pull it into a ponytail during bad hair days.
Right, right? I slather on goop to style or curl it and half an hour later the curls all came undone and I'm left with noodle hair.
My vote would go to the "reversed/inverted bob". On the link you posted i went down and saw Hayden Panettiere sport the reversed/inverted bob and she has the same points as you mentioned 2) round face and 3) short neck and this cut looks great on her... what her hairdresser has done is give her an irregular layering that doesn't frame her face in one smooth line. Plus she also has a side fringe that makes her face look less round. In my opinion, the inverted bob gives a bit of an illusion of volume and will make your neck look longer 'cos at the front it hides the neck and at the back it exposes it.
All the best! :)
Cheers.
