Should I go short?

in Hair Type 3
I have corkscrew curls, my hair is very thick and has a LOT of volume. It´s just very very big hair. I´ve been having a lot of problems with my scalp because it´s too oily so I can´t do the CG routine. Right now my hair is shoulder lenght, but I´m, thinking of going short, really short. Like Shirley Temple. Do you think it will look good, or it will only become even bigger??? I am considering this because I have to wash my hair every day , and I think maybe it would be easier if it was short.
I´m totally confused, help!

It sounds more like what you need is some good layers. Layers can pull the bulk out really effectively. You need to hunt up some pictures and take them to your hairdresser and see if she can't replicate that.
But just chopping off the length, I don't know if that's going to help with the big-ness at all. My own experience with this approach was truly dreadful. In fact, I'll tell you the truth, I looked completely crazy.

It's been a llooong... 2 years! My hair was not easier to manage shorter and I required a trim more often, as well as frequent 'line ups' on my neck and sides (see my photos and you'll see my back hair line is horrible for short hair); thus requiring alot more time, energy and money!! :roll:
So I guess my advise to you would be to only cut if your hair is unhealthy.
Remember, in addition to how fast or slow your hair grows, you will have a ton of awkward in-between stages as it grows.. If you are in the mood to deal with that, go for it ! Otherwise, consider your alternatives, like getting a better haircut or shape.

It's all about a good cut though.

See, I think that ultra short hair looks great on a lot of people, as long as you have nice facial features... (a slamming body helps, but is not mandatory 8) ) Also, a short ear length bob and all the lengths after that tend to look great with curls.... It's just getting from ultra short to the ear length bob that can be a beyotch...

I´ll see if I can post some pictures of my hair later, so you can give me more advice
thanks girls, it´s so nice to have someone to talk about my hair, because where I live (Mexico) very few people have curly hair, but I inherited my hair from my italian grandfahter.
Bye amigas
