My hair is starting to get long and kind of messy looking, and I’m tired of the hair style I have now. For reference, I look like this. I also look like this, and in the past, I have looked like this. I’m tired of the length of my hair right now, and am looking for something that’s between 2-3 inches below my chin to collarbone length.
I do have some ideas of what I like. This looks a lot like what I have now; I’m not too fond of it, but it’d do. I want something a little more creative, risky, and something that won’t look so damned boring and flat. (Note: my hair can actually do these super straight styles because it is super straight.) I like this too, and it’s kinda cute. I’m not entirely sure it’s just right, though. I really like this, and I think I could get that texture with a bit of pomade and some simple hand styling. The key would be to reduce the weight of the hair to do that. Thisis alsoa major contender and would probably work really, really well. (The three links are three views of the same haircut on the same model.)
What do you think? I don’t want “mom hair,” so boring, shoulder-length, one-length hair is out. It’s just going to make me look matronly, and I don’t want that right now. I really just need something different and I know that going super short is going to make me look inappropriately butch.
If I change the color, I’ll probably be going back to hennaing my hair, which will take it to somewhere between auburn-brown and bright, natural copper red. However, it is dependent on a lot of factors, one of which is being lucky enough to get henna that’s actually reasonably fresh. Synthetic dyes tend to wreck my hair, so they’re a no-go.
