I Wish I Did This Sooner with Short Hairstyles and Accessories

By Lauren • Sep 19, 2007 MD

My before and after shots ....

Mind you, these pictures are super casual—I took them myself! I am still getting used to seeing myself in the mirror, wondering who this new version is. But here I am (I guess it's me), so tell me what you think. Be nice, I am fragile.

Before: Yes I know I am pale as ghost in one and tan in the other ... I am tanned from riding in a convertible all weekend. If you are exploring new styles, check out our guide on protecting your hair while styling for healthy care habits.

After:

Swept to the side, with a pair of Marc Jacobs sunglasses, and pinned back with a little headband (which you can't see in the picture). Check out our tips for choosing sunglasses and essential advice on wearing headbands to pull the whole look together. Oh and check me out ... earrings, first time in a LONG time.

Here is a breakdown of the new look:

  • Side-swept bangs to frame the face
  • Marc Jacobs sunglasses for chic sun protection
  • A subtle headband to keep flyaways pinned back
  • Statement earrings for a pop of style

What's left: My hair which I plan on donating if anyone has information on where I can donate my hair please email me. Wonderful organizations to consider for hair donation include Locks of Love and Wigs for Kids.
