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...?
uhm then dont cut your 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.
