Aw it's awful when you don't feel comfortable with the cut you get. You're doing everything right. It's taken me a long time to find someone I trust, and even now sometimes when she tries something new I may not feel right with it until it grows out a bit. They never blow it dry quite the way I can, and it just looks and feels awful when they do it. In the summer I run back home with my hair wet to style it myself! Anyway, the cut is good, and here's what I've done. Bring a few pictures you like, preferably of someone with your similar shape face and hair texture. Then just talk for a while with your stylist about what you like about the cut(s) AND what you DON'T like about some of them. I will bring some pics of women with slight layers that I like and say I love how this looks here, but here is a similar pic with shorter layers and I hate how it looks over her ears, the inversion in the back wedge is too severe for my liking, etc. This will help your stylist to see what you are shooting for. Then she will talk to you about what she thinks is correct for your face and show with her hands how short or where the layering will start or why, etc. Good luck! I think they KEY is to show what you like AND what you do not like.

RBG... Mine is an inverted bob also. It only took me 28 years to finally stop trying to have curly hair! can't tell you how much money or time was spent trying' to get perms that my hair would take. never did find a professional one, only the good old Tony's (or was it Toni.. lol0 that my Mom would give me as a child! lol I, too, used to have hair below my waist. And during slumber parties when most of my friends were litereally ironing their hair, or using dippity doo setting and sleeping in huge campbell soup cans to straighten theirs... I was using 3 sets of electric rollers trying to get mine to curl! A very wasted effort. For even if I could get it to curl, the weight of butt length straight unlayerd hair would have pulled out any curl. lol I now enjoy my inverted bob that needs virtually no care!

Lisa82, how nice of you to take the time to post the pics for me! I do like all three and especially like the middle one though I think her hair is long and she is pinning it up. You can see one long curl hanging by her earring. I have some dilemmas. First I have almost no brows so showing brows isn't working for me. My hair is so curly that if I had it cut that short I would have corkscrews all over my head and like Cattyles said, the models have great features. At 62 I can't think of one feature of mine that looks all that great. My eyes are still a pretty green color but no brows to speak of and while I don't have wrinkles I have a lot of texture to my skin. I really thought that letting my hair go curly was going to be easier and it really is but I never have a good hair day when it's curly unless I spend almost as much time on it as I do when I pull it straight. Yesterday was hair appt day. I wouldn't let my stylist do anything other than color and blow dry it because I go every five weeks and though my hair grows really fast she kept trimming off all the new growth. So one more five week period of letting my hair grow to see if I can get a prettier curl or next time it's getting cut shorter and I'll try to blow dry it as best I can. I do think maybe if I have it cut short and have less to deal with I may be able to start appreciating the curl.
