I usually don't post threads like this, but I'm at a total loss as to what to do with my hair. I'm so bored with it!! I've generally stuck to the same length for the past couple years. Darkest brown in fall/winter, with bolder highlights for the spring/summer minus a few pics below where I went a lot blonder.
Do I chop? Do I keep the length? Do I keep dark brown going for summer or go more blonde? I feel like my features are too strong and I have too much face to support a bob/lob haha.
Here are some pics of how my hair has been over the past 2 years. I am VERY low maintenance. Always air dry. No idea how to work a curling iron. Will straighten if the mood strikes.
*poof*

Spoiler isn't working for me, but since I know you IRL.....
I like going lighter in the summer. I would recommend balayage, it looks more natural but you can go lighter. It also tends to last longer.
If you're used to a certain length, I wouldn't chop a lot off right away. That is just me. I always tend to have serious regrets.

I love your hair when it's dark. And I really like the pictures you pointed out as your everyday hair. I feel like I have no great suggestions because all these pictures are of good hair.
Maybe long-ish bangs to change up the look?

So odd. Anyway, this is what I had planned. I'm so bad with hair that I thought maybe there was a style or color combo I was overlooking. Thanks  |

Maybe long-ish bangs to change up the look? Yes! Was just playing around in the mirror with bangs lol. I used to rock them back in the day but didnt know if shorter, side swept bangs were still "in" |

You have really pretty hair! I would keep it darker and longer, and just add a few cuts around your face to frame it and add movement overall, kinda like this  SaveSave |

I used to rock them back in the day but didnt know if shorter, side swept bangs were still "in" I just got them, so probably not very cool. lol. Here's a thread of bang+lob options I used when I got my hair cut: howeverithappened.proboards.com/thread/12293/banged-tomorrow |

I would add a few more layers in the front. You have great hair, and I'm jealous of the air drying!

brux ,I love all those styles you originally posted so much! That's the look I'd be going for if I did a big chop. But I feel like I need to be skilled with styling my hair, and that I am not. You always see these adorable fashion bloggers with the blunt lob and it looks SO good, but then have to remember they probably spent awhile to get it that way. I wish that were life, but 2 under 3 and all that...

I like the dark color also and the length, but like jaidit, said maybe put some layers in |
