I want to cut my hair shorter but I've always had long hair...?

I have fine, somewhat thin hair that is naturally straight with a VERY slight wave that is usually unnoticeable. I part it on the side, though my stylist normally cuts my hair with a center part so I can part it on both sides. I haven't had short hair since I had grown it out when I was a toddler, but I'd like to cut it a little shorter. I'm thinking something like Alexis Bledel in Gilmore Girls when she cut her hair in one of the Yale seasons or Selena Gomez with her shorter hair.

I have a few questions:

1 - How much work goes into short hair to make it look this way? (Having long hair I usually just blow dry and straighten, I don't want anything high maintenance)



2 - I know a few people with shorter hair is approximately this length but it lays limp and flat. Let's just say it's not flattering. Because my hair is fine and a little thin will mine do this as well? What would I have to do to fix it?



3 - If I go in and ask my stylist for this hairstyle, what should I tell her in order to get this look (besides showing her the picture)? Long layers, normal layers, length, etc?



4 - If you don't think I should go for this look, what do you recommend?I want to cut my hair shorter but I've always had long hair...?
Cut it short, a little change is alwayse good : )I want to cut my hair shorter but I've always had long hair...?
short hair is just like long hair but doesnt take as long to straighten; use volumizeer for flat hair; normal layers to look like pictures, but more layers if you want more volume; and i think you should do it :)
show her the selena pic.

and i think you should do it.
uhm then dont cut your hair.?
