Go for it. Her short style is actually more of a medium length and isn't too short. I think it wouls be really flattering on you as well as give you an opportunity to try something different. i would keep it around the shoulder area to reduce shock factor plus I think any shorter may not be as flattering. Long hair needs to be refreshed every now and then plus it always grows back so I say... Go For It!!!

You should cut your hair at an angle to shoulder length and get layers for extra volume

I had long hair and Cut it short (chin level) and I'm glad I did because I'd been debating it for 2 years! I've since grown it and it only took 2 1/2 years to get back to my length (below shoulders). Know I've done it I know what it's like and I liked it but Felt I could do more with longer hair. And you could always get extentions if you really missed it, but I'm sure it would look lovely on you!

Most pics I see of Ashley her hair is really long with layers. I am not sure hoe long your hair is but to get her look you can still wear long hair just have your stylist put in layers.

I think you would look darling in a cut like Ashley's below. Try some side swept bangs....they would look great on you!

i agree with checking out the makeover section too! but if you really wanted a change you could get your hair a little shorter to start off with and maybe add some shorter layers? that way if you like it shorter you can experiment with shorter hairstyles without going for a really short look and being like OMG this will take FOREVER to grow out haha!

Have you tried out the makeover section on this site, to see how shorter hair would look on you?
