This weekend was supposed to be my PWC (post wedding chop) weekend, and I was VERY ready. I was Google image searching ALL Friday for ’short curly hair’ knowing that I was ready for a big change (which doesn’t happen that often). After venting my frustration about only finding decaying pictures from the ’80s and early ’90s - Mrs. Cupcake confirmed my fear that there are no cute short haircuts for CHG (curly hair girls). But, ugh - I was SO ready for that change. I though about changing the color, but I’m way to lazy to maintain something like that.
So, I ended up with a PPWC: a ’PARTIAL post-wedding chop’ and an awesome blow out (not always the case for us curly haired girls!). While not a total change, my hair feels SO much healthier!
Did anyone else not do the big PWC?

I’m not going to do it. My fiance *loves* long hair, and I think it would make him very, very sad if I waited until right after we got married to cut it all off.
It looks super cute!! I don’t think I will cut my hair either. I too am a curly haired girl, though you almost never see it that way. I still like the curly option and if I cut it, it is not a good look when curly.
Very cute!!! 
I don’t know if I’m going to cut mine, either. I have always had it chin length or shoulder length, and now that it’s finally growing out (my hair takes forever to grow), I’m kind of liking the versatility of it. We’ll see, though.
I don’t think I’m going to either! I am also a CHG, and attractive is not a word I would use to describe my hair short and curly.
love the cut! super cute! i always go to the salon thinking I’m going to get a chop & then always chicken out!
Your hair looks so cute! I have really curly hair so I know how you feel about finding a cute short cut. I don’t think I’m going to do a post wedding chop though. I’ve had way too many bad haircuts! haha
Your hair looks really great! It took me a little while, but once I finally got around to it, I cut about 5 inches off my hair! I basically went back to my pre-engagement length.
Love the PPWC! I did the PWC and the stylist kept asking “Are you sure?” which did not help me from being nervous about it!
You’re hair looks super cute! But I must say, as a girl with short curly hair, yes there ARE cute short hair cuts for girls with curly hair. My hair (curly) is just at my shoulders right now, but that’s only because I’ve been growing it out for the wedding. The trick is finding a great stylist who knows how to work with curly hair. Another trick, serious layers. If you’re still interested in seeing some short curly cuts, PM me and I’ll send you some pics. I can’t log in at work, but my “guest” name is the same as my registered name.
I didnt do it, and I dont plan on it. I have always had long hair, it doesnt bother me, so I kept it as is!
i should add that I did a PWSS - Post wedding shopping spree, where I updated most of my wardrobe 
I haven’t gotten married, but i’m a CHG…hehe.
Yes, the shorter I cut it, the bigger the pouf…but if tamed, it can look damn sexy. So your hubby is wrong. If you want to do it, it might turn out awesome!
It looks adorable! I’m going to PWC, but I don’t think I’ll go mega-short. A nice, healthy trim may be all I need!
Hey, if a full chop is not you, it’s not you. Your hair looks lovely.
Your hair look so shiny and pretty! I didn’t do a PWC–I’m still growing my hair out, in fact! I’m loving it long.
As a fellow CHG who regularly blows it out, I just got my hands on the InStyler and love it! Takes a time or two in order to get the hang of it but its great and it helps keep my hair soft (along with leave in conditioning spray by John Freida every time I wash my hair).
Also, Redken has the BEST curly hair products! In the green bottles
So cute!!!
I havent’ posted pictures of my PWC yet ’cause I haven’t taken a picture I’ve liked yet Except for the back of my head, but I assume at some point, people might want to see my face.
i am also a CHG and I happen to have a short cut. I used to have long hair and it always made me look frumpy. a few years ago, i found a new stylist who knew curly hair and she gave me what is now my now signature cut, which is a wedge. it’s short in the back and gets gradually longer towards the front. i often get stopped on the street with people complimenting my cut, which is something that never happened when i was a long haired girl. so yes, find someone that knows curlyhair, it amkes a world of difference!
Very cute! Whenever my hair gets too long, I end up chopping off more than I should…and then wishing I hadn’t! You’d think I’d learn… So I’ll prollie do a PWC, and then be sad about it until it grows back. 
Your hair looks great blown out!!! My hair has always been long, and I’ve been dying to color it for a few years but never had the guts. I think this year might be the year
Your hair looks super cute! I love a good blow out, even though my hair is straight straight. (Well, I get some baby curls in baaad humidity) I wish I could have a pro blow my hair out every day.
Super cute! No pwc for me though! I’ve been trying to grow my hair out forever, it takes so long! I’ve had one really bad hair cut- I asked for 2 inches off, and she cut 6. Yeahh… scissors don’t come near my head anymore unless it’s my mom.
cute! I just did my pwc this weekend… 3 months after the wedding… not as short as I wanted but a change none the less…
As a CHG, I agree that’s not as good short. I most often straighten my hair when it’s short then I love a short hair cut and a quick straighten job! Now that my hair is half way down my back, I most often wear it curly because it takes the better part of an hour to straighten. I’m still unsure if I’ll go for the PWC, I’ve got 9 months.
You look great! I’m planning on a PWC ala Kiera Knightley in Domino … but it’ll have to wait until Loverboy leaves for deployment - he likes my long hair too much!

About Me: I don't like nickels or the skin that forms on pudding when it's in the fridge for too long. I couldn't live without Pantone markers, fountain soda (3/4 diet, ¼ regular Coke), run-on sentences, or ridiculously oversized sunglasses. I will try to DIY almost anything and am just OCD enough to make most of it work. I am truly excited about having all my family and friends together, becoming Mrs. Gloss, and having amazing photos to prove it!
