    Default I want v-shape cut :)

    Should I have it? My hair is thicker in the middle of my head, than on the side. I want something like that.

    I have some questions to those, who have/had: I've heard that v-shape makes hair look fuller and thicker. Is it true? Is there a difference between V and U in maintaining hair? Does it look good in a high pony? (I wear it like that occasionaly - when sporting, dancing, etc...) Should I have layers or bangs with it? Did you like v-shape hair more than blunt cut? Is it easier to grow to waist, than to grow U-shape (which I have now)?

    I've never heard that. How would it look thicker? I think a U shape would make the ends seem thicker than a V shape, personally.

    If you like the look, go for it!

    I think v-hemlines look great! Just keep in mind that buns and braids can look fuzzy depending on how dramatic the v is.
    And whenever I cut a v it always grows into a u instead after some months.

    I don't see how it could possibly make hair look fuller or thicker. Just the opposite, I would imagine, as making buns and braids with the V-shape is going to result in a lot of shorter ends sticking/falling out. But if you like wearing your hair down more than up, and the V-shape appeals to you - go for it. You can always change it if it doesn't work for your hair as well as for the woman pictured above; hair grows and changes.

    To me, a V-shape looks like an outgrown old haircut in need of proper trimming.

    I did a self trim with Feye's method (Freye's? I read about it here) in what ended up being a fairly deep v. My hair is wavy/curly, and sometimes it ends up feeling like the hair at my sides is much shorter than at the back, depending on how it curls/separates. And it can look kind of funny up in a ponytail -- you can sometimes see three separate sections, two short on the sides and one long in the middle. But that may be due more to my trimming "skills" than the cut itself. I do like how it looks when my hair cooperates, though. At the longest, my hair is just past BSL.

    I think the picture you put up looks awesome, if your ready for something different you should go for it!

    Ha - I kind of feel that reaction, too. But one of these days I may give it a try as I've had blunt and U but never V and never fairy tale.

    I think it looks nice--though I'm not really a fan of blunt hemlines on many people.
