This sounds stupid, but I've seen you guys give some good advice in the past. So I'm at that point where I've had basically the same hair cut for forever, and I really want to change it. I have some ideas already, but I have no idea if I'm brave enough to follow through! In the future I want to get color done, possibly a dark brown with red undertones. But we can't do color now. My hair at the moment is long and straight (I straighten it because i have curly hair that I hate...) with side bangs. I love it some days, and hate it others. I like sometimes when its like this (ignore the embarassing pictures, just look at the hair):





But hate it like this:


I was thinking of getting something like this, but don't know if it will actually look good on me:


I'm open for any other suggestions/comments too! My appointment is tomorrow at 11!

natural curl is SOOO in right now, id love to see your hair curly, just to see it.

im a natural curly myself and know how much of a pain in the butt they can be, frizzies ect, but i started looking at it in a new light...got a GOOD cut andthere now the easiest thing to keep, i used to straighten my hair but it was soo much hassle...now i wash, then condition, comb through quick in the shower then swil the conditioner out. a little leave in conditioner imediatly after exiting and tada...done, let it dry naturally
the next day ill often have some "night before" frizzies so a little bit of curl definer and a quick pass thorugh with the fingers.
ive tossed my brush and all my toher styling producst, just shampoo, conditioner a dwide tooth comb and some durl definer...
i do use a straightening iron on my bangs, and have the side swept going on.

i think the straight scross bangs just below the eye brow would work great for your face shape, the only real difference other than that and your hair would be the extra layering...if your going to be straightening it you could do razored layers which give a very fun wild feel...but be warend razor on curls = BAD, so if you ever have your hair natural/curly avoid razoring like its the plauge.

I agree with Foxy. Can you snap a picture before straightening and show us how it looks? I have completely flat, dead-straight hair, and I would kill to have a wave or curl of some kind! I think curly/wavy hair is gorgeous with the right cut and style.

I personally would like to see your bangs feather cut and thinned to sweep to the side ...sides shortened a bit to frame that pretty face !!

Sorry I didn't get on to answer anyone! I did end up going for the straight across, and haven't decided if I 100% love it yet. I've had various sized sidebangs for nearly 3 years so its pretty different for me. But regardless here are some pics!





I like this one just for the color :)


And I like how it looks back in a ponytail too:


Foxy & Gem, I'll try to get a curly picture the next time I wear it like that. I just looked and don't have any.

So I need honest opinions, because when it needs a trim in 4 weeks or so I might decide to go back to the side.

Thanks Jess :D

Criosphynx- I love that necklace :) I got it for 50% off at Macy's a few weeks ago and I've worn it nearly every day! And trust me, I know about bad skin...mine finally cleared up this past year. It used to be terrible :(

Dekka- Thank you :)

Fantastic!


I really love it - I'm not fond of the off to the side look, though.

Thanks Bax and grammy :)

Nolu! Thank you :D
Looking back I'm not really liking the old bangs either. I think they were too thick for what I was going for...and I don't even know what that is :p

And thanks elegy!
