I made an appointment for a cut and color for Friday and have no idea what to do with my out of control locks. My friend does my hair and I normally just tell her to do whatever she wants, but I'd like to give her some direction this time. My only rules are that I need to be able to put it up in a pony tail for when I run (lol, hahaha.) and it needs to be low maintenance since I'm already up at 4:30 every morning. My hair is fine and does not hold a curl at all. I also always do a side part. This is my hair mostly air dried, but still a little wet from my shower. You can blame tapa for my giant face. Make me look pretty, please!!   |

This is going to be fun. Are you looking to take inches off? I'm also following this thread because my hair is long (not as long) and I'm itching to do something with it. ETA jubilantsquirrel you still remind me of someone and its driving me bonkers. |

Definitely inches. I like lobs, but I feel like my face is too fat for one? As long as I can still put it up, I'm good with any length.

I like those kleigh! I also need help with color. Nothing crazy. My hair is mostly natural coloring, about half way down has some left over color from the last time I had my hair done... in October 2015. |

How do we feel about layers?  |

I like layers. Are long layers better?
Basically, my hair has been what it is in the pictures for the better part of the last 20+ years. I had longish bangs that I swept off to the side for several years and I cut 14 inches off on my 22nd birthday (and then didn't cut it again for 2.5 years). But I never know what to do, so I just end up with same ol same ol.

We have like the same hair. Mine is shorter but same color and texture.
What about some long sideswept bangs? I like because you can pin them back if you need to but it gives you another styling option.
Long layers are my go-to since they add a little volume and I need all I can get.
I have also permed my hair in medium ringlets and really loved that. I can never curl my hair otherwise.

I have nothing to contribute other than you are adorable and I love the styles kleigh posted. Also it's funny that you posted this today because I've been thinking of starting a similar thread. I have a haircut scheduled for my birthday next month and I am thinking of getting bangs (which I haven't had since I was 13). Eek! ETA re: the pics kleigh posted, you could totally rock that first color (kind of dark auburn-y) if you're looking for a change. |

I think this would be cute on you, but maybe a an inch or two shorter. Since you hair is already long, you could totally pull off some long layers.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Long layers are better if you're wanting to be able to put it in a pony tail. I have side swept bangs and like them because I have a large forehead. YOUR FACE IS NOT FAT! The lob pics above would look adorable on you. Color wise, I think you could go with something similar to the first pic kleigh posted. A chocolate brown with auburn highlights or something. |
