Shave it all of <3

>>11538112
I'm considering a mild undercut. I like it, regardless of anyone else's opinion, and I don't care if it is mainstream. Maybe later I can get a bob.

I'm actually in the same situation.
I'm pretty short and having hair this long makes me look even smaller, but I don't know if looking taller is worth all the years of investment ;_;

>>11538110
how old are u

You're probably just going to regret it

Older anon (30s) here. Long hair is special and I suggest you keep yours while you're young. I took about 14" off of my chest-length hair last June, leaving it at around mid-neck. A year later it's back to a bit past my shoulders and I lament that it could be mid-back by now.

>>11538283
mirin cheekbones holyfuck

>>11538112
This. Buzz cut.

>>11538426
Longer hair for younger people and shorter for older? I'd have thought the reverse was more fitting. I suppose more fun while young, more utilitarian when old?

>>11538607
You must show us your best fit, I think you'll look great cutting it short.

Other fun facts about my hair.

I can wrap it around my neck like a scarf an still have slack.
I made a sleeve for my ponytail to go through, protecting it and keeping it together.
I have ways to strap my long ponytail to my body, including a modified military jacket.
I have a harness that looks like a bondage/straight jacket assembly of buckles to strap my hair down my spine.
The only way I can put my hair in a bun is with a chopstick.
If I'm not careful, my hair can dip into the toilet.
Taking care of it is not that bad.

Let me brace myself for the criticism I might receive, for I feel so embarrassed at this, but I can't help but like it anyways.

This is what I'm considering:
https://www.pinterest.com/operarocker6/hair/

I considered mixing it up, shaving the front half of the sides, in front of the ears only, but I think that looks weird, and only good on paper, in theory.

I tend to wear militaristic or old fashioned feminine clothing, and my usual outward demeanor is very cold and focused.

>>11538635
Is that a scar or is that hair in your mouth? Super cool scar if so

>>11538650
It's a scar, yes.

>>11538656
You seem really interesting and I wish I could have a convorsation with you, I think you could pull off the short hair, it also feels good to cut off hair, it's like releasing ego

You should try the techwear.
>>11538656
It looks pretty sweet. How did you get it!

I made this, a parody of the keep out sign for Quiet in MGSV.

>>11538663
Techwear? Something like this?
Here, you can barely see the sleeve that holds my hair in the back.

Here's the thing I made to buckle my hair that looks like a bondage/straightjacket piece. It's excessive, so useful only when swimming, really.

>>11538668
Scars on your legs too! What's the story?
>>11538668
Fuck me... That's impressive

>>11538674
Meant the second comment of >>11538685 to this.

>>11538685
Are you hoping for a really cool story where I survived an attack? Sorry to disappoint.

I've had a traumatic past, and I love cutting myself. I'd like to think that I've still been filed sharp by my pain, but most people with scar fetishes aren't turned on by self-harm; most people are repulsed.

Sadly, I don't actually have many good full body or feminine outfit pics. Anyway, I think you'll get the idea of my "character."

And here's what I'm considering again:
https://www.pinterest.com/operarocker6/hair/

70% sure this isn't OP

>>11538702
it would certainly work for you my guy. as long as you won't regret it you should give it a try. worst case you have to grow it again

This was once considered too.

Thanks for your help so far, everyone.

>>11538702
Thats hot.

>>11538696
Yeah, many people don't like the idea of self-harm. But there's no doubt I'm in love with this scars.
>>11538702
I like the idea of short hair, but a bit longer than what you've shown us.

So, I'm in game design, so I tend to be "character focused." Do I want to embody a short haired physical action oriented character? Or a more serene one, whose strength comes from within?

Anyway, I'm excessively spamming. Apologies, but if nothing else, maybe it'll satisfy curiosities.

>>11538735
You lost me here, I need more context.

>>11538743
I tend to put together in my head a cohesive demeanor that I want to be, and to a lesser extent, want to portray.

Everything I choose, I genuinely do like, but I like unity in design, as if I were a character intentionally designed by an artist, not the haphazard mundane of life's coincidences.

Fuck! I'm in love!

>>11538750
Kinda like when fashion designers also include a target audience "character" when creating a line.

>>11538750
OK. Yeah, I do this same all the time. Playing a bunch of games I do like play a character. Weird on how you're asking us on who you want to "embody"

>>11538751
And yet somehow I've never had any IRL suitors. All through high school I've been in trouble with the authorities for being "scary."

>>11538753
I also exercise, run silently on my toes, kill time by tapping morse code, learning German, drawing, 3d modeling, collecting skills, such as swimming like a mermaid, basic self defense, reading people, detecting lies.

>>11538760
I didn't really mean to ask you all a question that can only be answered by me. Rather, which would you find more appealing? Or which would you rather be?

>>11538751
Right? Muh Heart

>>11538760
she is presenting us her thoughts so we can get a better grasp of what would be best for her. like, sharing your ideas so others can think them further. you are not the brightest are you?

>>11538607
you look like my dad

>>11538761
Really? How can no one appreciate a person like you! I'm just going off what you've shared with us, so sorry on jumping the gun to say that you're amazing!

>>11538768
Would you let me go out with your dad?

>>11538781
It's alright, I'm flattered.
I don't smile very much, and when I talk, I sometimes sound like a cartoon villain, monotonous, hard consonants. I had one person tell me I had a cockney accent, but I'm completely American. Probably just a few oddities in my pronunciation.

I've actually recently been sent to a mental hospital. Someone asked me about my past, I told, and they called 911 on me. I've been forced to reflect upon myself and consider my faults, as persecuted as I feel. I suppose I do act a lot colder and scarier than I thought, in the most ridiculously trope-y way, like an ice queen tsundere. I never smile, I look upset, I can sometimes say dark things, and am very exacting.

I don't think this would look as good IRL as in theory on paper. Artists do sometimes draw hairstyles that are impossible, in that there's no way anyone could have that much hair in that small area of scalp.

Also, it seems a compromised middle ground, unable to embody the serene long hair and not a fully free action short hair.

>>11538805

>>11538805
Sitting here on a keyboard, and I'm speechless. At the same time I'm thinking you're freaking insane and also a person I would love to be around.
>>11538817
Is that supposed to be a gender swapped Levi?

>>11538817
The short sideswept bangs are already a sort of compromise, short front, long back. It just doesn't have shaved sides.

Ah, maybe short hair can still carry the same elegance. Some of my wardrobe is victorian stuff, after all.

Sorry, everyone, I'm using this thread as open notes to myself.

Who did this to you?

Are you boy, girl or boygirl?

You could cut it and donate it to locks of love
I grew my hair out once and did it
You could probably find a place that'll give you a free hair cut if you donate

>>11538607
pls don't cut

Short hair on older women screams soccer mom trying desperately to grasp on to her fleeting youth

You could also smuggle alcohol into baseball games

>>11539731
Don't waste your twenties having boring short hair. Short hair on older """"women"""" is just fine and a nod to practicality rather than a grasp for youth.

>too valuable
That's for you to decide.
Personally I don't think there's a need to be all sentimental about it.
If you want to cut it, then do it.
Though I don't think short hair would suit you, but who knows, maybe I'm wrong.

In all of your pictures the way you "style" your hair is pretty boring, look at some koreans and japs to get some inspo, e.g. girl on right in pic
And put on some makeup, should make a difference.

If the reason for cutting your hair is just to up your fashion game, then you're on the wrong path.
Cause based on your pics in this thread, you have very shit fits, including your glasses.

Though you have a decent face, so there's lots of room for improvement.

>>11539722
Locks of love are the reason I chopped off more of my hair than I originally wanted to. That pressure to help kids with cancer is real.

>>11538607
this looks amazing but i always advocate buzzcut

>>11538674
Jesus Christ, OP, that's amazing.

Keep the long hair.

Hey OP, you're pretty regardless of whether you're a ciswoman or a transwoman. While the hair is kinda badass, as are the devices you've made to hold it close and out of the way, I would think it would be much more comfortable to lob it off and go for something short. I'm afraid I don't have hair style suggestions.

anyway, keep bein' awesome

I've seen some other anons suggesting you donate your hair to charity. Don't do that, locks of love has more hair than it needs and doesn't care much about quality so there's a good chance they'll just throw your hair away. If you can sell it, hair that long and nice should fetch a good price.

Don't do something like tail and short hair, it never looks good irl, the closest I've seen that works is the asian emo mullet but I'm a bit weary of suggesting it because people think it looks dated. Chin length hair undercut optional is my favorite hairstyle and I think it is a good place to start if you aren{t sure whether you want long or short hair.

OP here, I'm back. Thank you for all your input, darklings, or rather, /fa/shionistas. To those of you who are enamored, I'm sorry I don't have any more good photos of me, and I'm still unable to take new ones.

>>11541539
In May 2010, I shaved my head with a razor blade. I think it may have been 2014 by the time I had my first haircut since then. The ends of my hair were really dry and crumpled. It was like a brown tip on my tail. I think I waited another two years to my most recent haircut, again, just cutting off the ends and trimming my bangs. Now I wash my hair once a week and use conditioner... Except in this current predicament I'm in where I haven't washed it in 3 weeks.

>>11541571
Yes. When I was 17, I was ready to join the marines, but I didn't make it in. Later, I considered the CIA. Now I'm too far into college to throw it all away.

>>11541572
There may be an issue with rarity, but I think it's more of about spotting them than finding them. Try to look for quiet, serious, hardworking people; perhaps some pain forged them that way. I come from group homes; maybe you can find an organization that helps foster youth. A lot of traumatized people stay messed up, lazy, drugged, but there are a few who come out hardened and focused. Consider online places too. Search through people who like certain Steam games?

I do want to warn you though, you are wanting something difficult by nature. Even if she doesn't pick fights with you, it may get tiring to have to nurse her back to stability all the time. And would you lose interest if she got better?

>>11541779
Indeed, I hoped a compromise would make this decision easy, but I'm convinced, it only looks good in drawings; real life looks like rat tails.

After listening to all the input and considering some of my own, I'm accepting that the long hair is special. However, I'm still looking to cut my hair for the sole reason that I'd eventually have to cut it; otherwise, go my whole life with long hair, never trying short? So the next question is to time it; when do I want short hair? When do I want long hair? Now? After making first impressions in the workforce? When I have children?

go for this

>>11541068
sure

>>11541572
Find someone who's steam profile looks like this.

Games that have really dark stories, perhaps point and click ones.

>>11542248
You can't get Overwatch on steam..

>>11542376
yeah but who the fuck plays tf2 anymore? everyone moved on to OW and judging by her time played and last time played, she obviously plays tf2 instead.

>>11542380
TF2 came a long time ago, Overwatch just a around a month maybe. Clearly this is time accumulated from many years. So you can't really judge her play time on how much time she probably played Overwatch.

>>11538664

>>11538713
As much as i'd like to believe it im with you on this one

>>11542116
I have thought about volunteering with foster youth (were you fostered from birth?), and other things like that but I am still pretty young, I once had a friend that was very focused but I think she became less quiet near the end of high school. I'm pretty hesitant on online places though. Thanks.
>it may get tiring to have to nurse her back to stability,
the thing is, this might be therapeutic for me. I have a very strong love for the human mind and its weaknesses. I don't think I would lose interest if they improved in mental health because at that point I would have a firm grasp on who they are and learned love would kick in.

pls be in london

I cut my hair after 5 years of growing it out, then another 2 years of growing it out, then another 1 now (got it cut last week). I don't think I ever regretted it and you can always grow it out again. As an attractive guy there's no majorly awkward phase, but as a girl there might be several though.

>>11542123
the cut itself looks alright, you just found a picture of an obnoxious person with heavy lipstick, shitty glasses and choker.

try again tho

>>11542391
>past 2 weeks

>>11543097
As a guy I'd definitely say there's an awkward phase when you're going from short to long hair and you look like Anton for many months.

>>11543170
That's total amount of time spent playing any games in the past 2 weeks, that breaks down to an average of barely over an hour a day.

>>11543333
How much video games do you play?

>>11543352
OP here.
If I could, I wouldn't play much at all; there's a big difference between playing games and making them, but sometimes I get upset and I need a distraction, a painkiller, and I have nothing else. I have an old laptop, which is why I'm stuck playing TF2 so much. That said, I do like TF2, and it is a different game from Overwatch, despite their similarities. There's just so much to learn from TF2, from level design to class balance. If I may boast, I am also a great tactician and team leader.

>>11538713

>>11543352
I really don't play that much, my steam profile says 70 hours in the last two weeks.

>>1153811
Are you a guy or just a flat chested girl?

Do you go to an art school for your game design?
