cut my hair!

I want to cut my hair, but have no idea what I want to do w/ it.
Here is me (I’m the girl). It’s the best pic I have right now, but it’s from this summer and my hair is a lot longer now.

Any advice? I wouldn’t mind cutting it short, I just want something fun.
Thanks!

(I’m really bored at work - a lot of people are out/late and I have nothing pressing to do) :smiley:

None of the pictures came through. Just blanks on the page.

Hmm, it comes through when I click the link. The website is tempermental though, so it might just be from that…

Nada for me, either. I suspect you’re seeing the pics, bbrpiggie because they’re cached on your hard drive from an earlier visit. Just a hunch, though.

Drat.

Doh!

I meant bbrpiggy. I can’t even be lazy right today. Sorry.

I can see the picture, but I had to wait for a while for it to come up.

Figures - I have no other options for posting pics as I’m at work right now.

Oh well, guess I’ll just go shave my head! :wink:

Personally, I like this site for browsing hairstyles. (You have to scroll down a bit.)

Do you still have bangs, or have they grown out since that picture was taken? I found it very hard to get away from The Bob when I had bangs.

They’re longer than that, and swept to the side now. I’d like to go shorter than a bob, b/c my hair is really damaged, and there are a few inches that really need to go. Eventually, I want to grow it longer, but it’s so damaged it just looks crappy.
Thanks for the site!

That’s true, there aren’t a whole lot of options when bangs are involved. What about something Winona Ryderish?

Maybe a softer color? I recently had my black-dyed hair lightened and it’s a very different look for me, in a good way. My basic hairstyle is the same, once the cutting to remove the damage grew back out.

I’m afraid I don’t want to go quite that short, but you’re right, the options are limited w/ bangs.

It’s been almost that short before, and I just felt too naked. Remember, it is longer than the pic (for those of you who can see it), so I have more to work with than what’s shown. That was mostly for “shape of face” perspective :slight_smile:

I’m thinking of doing that, possibly making it brighter and maybe more red, or something w/ coppery highlights.

The best cut I’ve had was when I told the stylist to do anything he would like, providing it got rid of my rat’s nest of dyed-n-fried hair. It went short and I absolutely loved it.

My maternal grandmother studied and practiced cosmetology and the likes. She concurs that individuals get the best cut for them when they let a (good - I wouldn’t go the walmart route [ever again :rolleyes:]) hairstylist have total control. My sister’s favorite cuts come when she gives the stylist an idea of the length, but lets him or her take over from there.

I did this for the first time last year. I told the stylist to cut off between 10" and 15" and then do whatever she wanted. According to my coworkers, it was the best style I had. I had 5 people tell me I looked at least 20 pounds lighter :confused:

I will admit though that it did look damn good on me.

Way back when, I was convinced I wanted to dye my hair red. My hairstylist took one look at me, shook her head, and said, “Nope. Blond and red highlights.”

I argued, pleaded, protested–all in vain. Finally I got the highlights done…

…they looked fabulous. I haven’t gone without since.

Moral of the story: ask your hairstylist–they just might have a clue. :wink:
