I have very thick, coarse hair. When it's long, it looks marvelous when it's properly styled. However, because it takes hours and gobs of product to keep it in line, I went pixie a few years ago. I LOVE IT. It's like a Persian rug was removed from my head. Takes three minutes to do my hair in the morning. No wicked hair clogs in the shower. The right stylist can create a pixie out of any type of hair. You have to get haircuts more frequently, and your face has to be on point all the time. But it's a huge time-saver and can draw a lot of attention to good facial features. Do it. If you don't like it, it'll grow back.
