I love this blog!! I searched all over to find a haircut for a “fat” face..and all the cuts were ugly! I read your blog and first of all it was so funny because its sooo true and secondly, when I scrolled down to your after shot I was speechless! It looks so beautiful n it brings out your eyes and everything. The first hairstylist needs to be fired and have their license revoked!! Thank u for the advice…I needed it and I feel a whole lot better about cutting my hair even if I dont lose 100lbs first!

Beautiful hair and bravo! It was nice to see this post as I am hacking off the ‘do on Friday. One family member said it would make my head look ‘too small for my body.’ Fuck ‘em. I have two small children, am starting a doula business and don’t have time to maintain a hairstyle to hide behind. Well done!

Thanks for posting about your haircut! I was searching for pixie photos and stumbled onto this thread. After having a baby earlier this year, and a bunch of sweaty hair–and no time–it sounded like the perfect solution if only I could see it on someone else…?

So…the next day I re-scheduled my haircut ASAP and all but had my head shaved! It feels great, and takes only a couple of minuts. Thanks for the inspiration!

ROCK ON GIRL!!!!
I can’t thank you enough for writing this blog! I am so happy I came upon it in my search for “Can fat girls pull off a short hair cut?” on Google. I donate my hair every 2 years to Locks of Love and this year I noticed I would be able to donate my full 10 inches sooner then expected, but I would have to have a short hair cut. PLEASE NOTE: I have been secretly wanting a short hair cut for the ast few years, but was brought up believing that horrible myth “Big Girls Cannot Pull Off Short Hair!” Your story (Not to mention AWESOME hair) has inspired me to march into that salon tomorrow with the pictures of myself with the hair I want (Digitally modified) and hear no if ands or buts about it this time!

You’re My Hero! :)
Thanks!

I went a step further than the pixie cut I promised myself back in March: I had it all buzzed off.

Then I ordered a set of good clippers, and I maintain it myself, a fresh clip every two weeks.

I left a small wisp in front of each ear, but other than that it’s 3/8″ long, and I’m so glad I did it.
