Anyone have short hair?

VulgarGirl

And plan to keep it short for the wedding?

I have my hair in a pixie cut and plan to keep it in a pixie for my wedding. It's always pretty short and I like it that way. I might even go a bit shorter then it is now. I saw Jaime Presley's haircut and it looks adorable! It's a little shorter then I have mine now.

But, while I love my hair short, the wedding industry seems to think I want long hair for my wedding. I keep seeing tips on growing it out, getting extensions, ect. Now look, if you have/want long hair, and you like it, rock it, I'm not hating on longer hair at all. But for me, I don't like the way it looks on me, I don't like the upkeep and I like my pixie cut. So...anyone else out there rocking their short locks?

I'm think of possibly doing a faux hawk day of. I do my hair up like that sometimes and I like it.

@MagicInk -- I'm totally with you on your hair opinions.  I had short hair when I got engaged, kept it short for my wedding, and it's still short today.  You don't need an updo to be a beautiful bride.  Rock your short hair proudly!

I've got shoulder length hair, which is short to most weddings I've seen. But, I love this cut so not changing anything. It's super easy to style, then glam up. Going to take the sides back, tease them a bit to hold the veil clip, smooth the top back over, then curl the ends under. I'm going to snap clip my veil then to the teased section and the ponytail holder.

Easy. Free as I can do that myself. Fits with my dress. No snagging hair on the eight gazillion buttons. The cut and planned style both work with my face. Plus, DF LOVES when I wear my hair loose. It has to be up at work for safety, so I usually have it up anyway out of habit plus safety.

I kept my hair short for, not pixie cut short, but probably about 2 inches long on top for my wedding. I had people asking me if I was getting extensions for my wedding & I said no. My husband had only known me with short hair so why should I go a look like someone totally different just for my wedding. There are still so many great hair accessories you can get for short hair to dress it up for your wedding if you want to. Don't fall to the pressure to grow your hair out or get extensions.

I tend to keep my hair short - like stacked bob short. I've been growing it out which means it's about shoulder length now. I have my hair trial appointment 2 weeks before the wedding with the intention to chop it all off like normal if want... I am having a hard time imagining what can be done with my hair but I know it looks great short and future hubby loves it short - he says "that's the girl I feel in love with" - so he's hoping I chop it off!! 

My biggest question is what to do with the veil if I chop my hair!! How to keep it in place?!?!

@Starlet514, I have the same problem. My bob isn't quite stacked short, but it's chin length. It's also ridiculously straight. Like, not just "not wavy." I mean "does not hold a bobby pin"  type straight. It's awesome because it's so easy to take care of, but convincing my veil to stay in one place is going to take some doing. If I decide I want to keep the veil on all day, I could manage it with a ridiculous amount of product maybe, but I'm not sure if I want to commit to that. I got a wider, metal comb so that should be better than using a tiny plastic one, at least. 

Ideas?

@tortoisebride - MEEEE TOOO - like so straight. My hair dresser said "I'll use enough product to keep a curl if you want"... but I told her that'll never happen!!! She been cutting my hair for like 6 years so I know she'll make it look awesome - but not curly no matter what she says!!! hahaha

Well, if you figure something out by mid-July, let me know!

I'm totally going the short hair/pixie hair route. I mean, I vaguely played with the idea of letting it grow back when I got engaged (new years) and realized that it would probably only get like..just past my ears, haha. And look ridiculous. I got excited when I started looking up pixie hair and weddings and saw the super cute short veils, haha.

I got hair around the jaw bone. If it is short, just gonna do curls probably. Nothing fancy.
