You guys.. Right now, I have what is possibly a model's worst nightmare. SHOULDER LENGTH HAIR.

Too short to be flowy and beautiful. Too long to be edgy and sexy.

It just sits there, still trying to grow out after being hacked at for months of NAHA shooting. Looking average. Can't really work it into posing. It's terrible.

Any ideas? Do you have the awkward medium-length hair too? How have you styled it for shoots? What looks do you think work best for this length?

I love your color.  It works really well for you.  The length really isn't a problem.  It is quite workable.  You can set it with rollers,  you can put some waves into it.  It is long enough to pull back, or you can wear it straight.  I would consider enjoying it.  Keep it trimmed and conditioned.  It's not as bad as you thing.  Now of course I am going by your pictures in your port.  R-

Adding some highlights/balayage can add dimension and depth into your hair. for styling , it'll depend on the occasion. Loose wavy curls are usually the go to when in doubt.

Shoulder length hair can be elegant and beautiful:)

Shoulder-length hair is streets ahead of short hair, all day, every day.
