Hairstyle Help!
Permalink Closed


I need help. I am turning 25 and I am constantly being asked if I am 13-15 years old. I dress age appropriate but I have a baby face and I am tiny. I cut my hair from it being really long (for locks of love) to it being layered and a little longer than chin length. It is growing out and I feel like I need another haircut. I want something that looks professional. I need to be taken seriously in the professional world. Many people think I am "so cute". Well, that doesn't get me the higher positions. Anyways, any recommendations?

My hair is very thick and wavy ( I don't know how to wear it wavy though). I have a lot of hair. At times it looks so bulky even though my hairstylist "thins it out".

Please help! Thank you.

Yeah, unfortunately, looking "cute" is going to hold you back long term. 

InStyle.com has a good feature on hairstyles.  Here are some ideas.

This one may not work for your hair type (my hairstylist said "no" on this for me cuz my hair is too thick and wavy), but who knows?  I love this:

I cant believe only 1 person replied so far... I think going with a modern cut, a hairdo that no 13 yr old would pick might work (the 3rd pic that NCShopper selected).

Do you think any of these would work?

I don't know if they would work with your hair texture, but I really like the 2nd and 3rd pictures you posted of Katie Holmes, kel. I like that hairstyle on her better than her with bangs.

I also like Jennifer Hudson's hair in that picture NCshopper posted.

ETA: I also like the Mandy Moore hairstyle. Her hair looks wavy in that picture so that might work.

I would steer clear of these styles.  To me they are very young, if you already look like a teen, these will make the problem worse, IMO.

I like the ones kdm posted. They have an edge to them that will help to make you look older. I think the "edge' factor is what will take the style from cute to sophisticated.

instyle.com has a cool haircut tool that you can use to "try on" different cuts. theres loads of options and it'll give you an idea of what you'll look like. it's really fun, too!
