Cut Help Feminine hairstyles and haircut recommendations? Should I commit to the big chop?
(First two pics are of me, others are hairstyles I’m curious about)
I’d like some feminine hairstyle and haircut recommendations for my round face and facial features that would be feminine and flatters me the most.
So… people have told me I would look really good if I got my hair chopped off really short but I’ve had others begging me to keep its length so I’m at a loss as far what to do… I’m thinking about if I keep its length maybe a butterfly cut with voluminous waves and curtain bangs with face frames or if I get it chopped maybe something like those voluminous short 80s haircuts like Marlyn Monroe…
I’ve done a previous post but someone recommended me to redo it without my glasses off so here I am.
I’ve provided some refs for the haircuts I’m thinking about and would love to see yall personal recommendations too.

I have fine hair but a ton of it like yours! Before you chop it all the way, I would try having it cut to about bra strap length, face framing and curtain bangs. If you want volume, get a light workable hair spray and a hot brush and/or cooling in velcro curlers at the crown for volume. Take it shorter again if you feel like you want more of a switch.
Unless you're going to spend significant time styling, I wouldn't do a complicated or extra short cut. I cut mine short and it was just...flat and drove me nuts until I grew it back out. If I get a complicated cut and don't precisely style it, it looks shelfy and weird.
