It's sort of scary to change your hair once you've had it a certain way for ages... but you'll probably find that once you do, and you get used to it, you'll be glad you did! Worst case is you grow it back to the way it was. If you're worried about face shapes, maybe check out this article. But if it suited you when you were young, it probably still will! :)
thanks! that article has helped make my mind up, i think i've got an oval shape face so it should be okay. i've booked the appointment now for saturday morning. fingers crossed it'll look okay. i'll have to post pics when its cut. thanks for the reply x x x
