I'm just going through my FB photos to try and give you an idea of how it looks, so I apologize in advance for how much they suck. . .
This is how my hair looked several hours after straightening it on a relatively dry day. (Forgive my rude gesture in the photo - my friend thought it was funny to take pictures of me, and that was my polite response.) It was bone straight, bangs and all, and after just a few hours outside the ends had already started curling and the rest was frizzing. If I had the high-res picture on my computer right now I'd upload it to show you, since the facebook one is really low-quality, but you can get the idea from it.
When I don't do anything at all to it, it curls and curls. They look good for five minutes, but the second there's a gust of wind or I try to put my hair up, they turn to frizz. It's fine most of the time, but if I'm out all day or if I actually want to look good it's frustrating.
I loved the previous cut, but I want something shorter and less cute and fun. . . a little neater and more professional looking. I'm also not sure if I want to do the exact same haircut again, which is why I'm asking for the ideas. I have an appointment at a salon tomorrow with the stylist my friend recommended, and I wanted some more ideas and pics so I don't go in there completely empty-handed.
Hayley - I love those!
