How should I cut my hair?? pics

Birdie07 · August 10, 2008

So I have an appointment at five to finally cut my hair. It needs split ends cut and such. But I've worn the same style for a while. The chin length bangs to the side with long layers. I don't want it super short and DH doesn't want it short at all. Anyone have ideas. Here is how it looks now.

Heres how I usually wear it...when its wet I put it in a messy bun with bobby pins.

Calia - your hair is so pretty! do you want a 'style' or just an easy, shorter version of what you have now?

A style...I'm kinda tired of the same style I've...my hair is usually straight if that helps and I've always had long bangs and long layers. So a different style would be nice. But not really short. UGH. I can't find any pictures I like.

Thanks! I have too much volume...I straighten it to get rid of the volume in the heat.

How about... shorter layers and long side sweep bangs

I think thats what I'm gonna do. Heres the pic for inspiration. I'm gonna go longer than this though and probably the bangs. My DH just said he's gonna cry. and I'm pretty sure I will too. It took me from 2002 to get my hair this long. But the split ends and breakage are killing me. I will post pics upon my return. THANKS!

Your hair is gorgeous already, but I know how it feels when you just want a CHANGE! I suggest some long layers to your shoulders, that way it's not to drastic and is still quite a change. Remember, you can always go chop more off, but you cannot grow it back over-night! Show us pics after you go!

I love the one that SassyBride had:

I agree with Davematthews - you might want to not go too short right away. Anyway, your hairdresser may not let you. LOL! Usually they will ask you to come back for a shorter style in a week or two. That's what happened to me when I cut my hair off in high school. It was below my butt and I went to shoulder length. I had to go back 3 x!

Good luck - can't wait to see the cut

So I went with a drastic change. First a little backstory....when I was a senior in highschool I dyed my hair red. I had been a blonde blonde up till then. I hated the red so I tried to dye it back blonde. Well since then my hair (natural) has changed colors. I knew it would b/c my older sister went from blonde blonde to almost brunette.

So when I went to the salon I asked the lady how I could get back to my natural hair color. So we cut my hair first and deep conditioned it and then she matched my natural roots and dyed it. It is so much darker than I have EVER been. But I LOVE IT! My hair feels so light and healthy and I love the color. It's called medium ash blonde and is suppose to fade in the next few days or so so it will be a little lighter. And I don't have to dye my hair again!! I didn't style it so the pictures of just of it dryed and brushed. I will probably curl it under when I style it. And you can barely see the bangs. They are just above my ear. And she razored in some layers in the back which you can't tell either. I need to work with it. Thanks for all your help girls!
