    Hi Bees, we've all seen the PWC that many post and I wanted more short haired gal photos to look at! If you have short hair please post a pic, I'm undecided as to what my PWC will be and I need to see short hair on real everyday people, not hair models. So come on bees show me the goods! Thanks!!

    Last year, I shaved my head for Beautiful Lengths (its like Locks of Love, but for women with breast cancer).  I admit I timed "the shave" for the last year I was in grad school, so it really "didn't matter" what I looked like - if it sucked, I could have worn a hat for the next few months.....BUT, I LOVED the result, and I got so many compliments from random strangers about my semi-shaved head!  I am so going to do it again after the big day (as long as my hair is at least 8" long for the donation).  I encourage everyone to donate their hair if possible!!

    @hisbunny- any length- chin, shoulder, pixie... right now I'm just getting ideas, it's 1/2 down my back and I'm so looking forward to chopping it after the honeymoon.

    @Rockhugger- AMAZING. You did such a great thing! I am donating to Locks of Love or the Pantene thing in honor of my cousin who passed away from brain cancer in 2003.

    @zippylef- I LOVE that first photo, I don't know if I have the face shape to go funky and cute like that! If you do then you have to post pics!!

    i love tina fey's shoulder-length wavy hair in Date Night.

    even though i want to chop off my hair NOW, but i'll wait until a few months later because i am finally good at using hot iron curler (i have straight hair), so i want to enjoy long wavy hair for a few months before i go short.

    @tingting yeah I did like her cut. See my hair is super long and wavy so I want something short, easy to dry and straighten during the winter months!

    I did a PWC to donate for Beautiful Lengths too. The advice I have: mkae sure you find someone comfortable cutting your hair off because the lady I went to didn't cut as short as I wanted, so I didn't get the cut I wanted. I'm just shy of what I need to donate and I'm pissed. I grew my hair long just to donate it.

    I had about 4" chopped off on our honeymoon!  I couldn't wait!  I booked an appointment first thing when we got to the resort.  It was awesome.

    @TheFutureMcBride & @Rgeddy- Any photos?

    @TheFutureMcBride- My stylist thankfully has no problem chopping my hair, she knows it has been bothering me for over a year!

    @zippylef:

    those inspiration pics are stellar, may have to save them...

    I haven't had short hair for a few years now, but sometimes I really miss it! I've been bald, through pixie cuts to bobs & for the most part it was awesome (except on lazy days when I didn't 'do' my hair, then it looked like butt hole). OP if you are still looking for inspiration feel free to PM me -- I don't have any pics on this computer but have lots @ home.

    The big thing is picking something that suits your face shape & personality; with confidence you can pretty well pull anything off.

    I had pretty long hair....and I did two PWC!  I loved getting a short layered bob, so light and cool.

    Here is a link to an awesome PWC: http://boards.weddingbee.com/topic/extreme-post-wedding-chop-before-and-after

    I haven't decided if I'll chop mine off afterwards. I might do something crazy like color it instead.

    @Soon2beeMrsM: I don't have pictures as it's only been three weeks. Also, I don't have a stylist, so I had to keep telling the woman "no, I want it shorter."

    @TheFutureMcBride- Don't you hate it when you go to a new stylist and they don't do what you want! I'm so glad I found someone who does what I ask!

    Any other short(er) haired bees that can post pictures or inspiration pictures if you don't have real ones?
