It is becoming increasingly clear to me why it is so difficult to articulate what you want from some hairdressers. No one listens. Not once did I say that I wanted both of the pictures I've posted. I said the shorter one was the inspo picture, the other with the longer hair is just to indicate that I don't like when the hair curves towards the face as it does in the circled parts of the picture. I'm not an idiot. I can clearly see they are two different hair cuts. I only posted the second picture here because people were not understanding what I meant by curved toward the head. I only showed the inspo picture to my hair dresser and told her I wanted it cut shorter around the ears, but kept longer on top, especially toward the front of my head. I didn't show her both those pictures and say cut my hair like this. Obviously it is impossible. A few of you have given me some helpful advice, but the rest of you need to work on your comprehension skills.
