Hair advice

[summergirl1211]

So I'm going in on Saturday to get my hair cut and I want to do something different. I want to go shorter, but not too short (I need to still do pony tails for workouts and lazy days). Here's what it looks like currently. Thoughts on how I should get it cut?

Also, I might try the ombré color like cookiesandwine, but not until next time since I didn't schedule enough time for the color too.



TIA ladies!

I just got several inches of mine cut last week and went with about an inch below the collar bone. I can still put it up in a pony tail and feels light enough for the warmer temps. Something like this?

What about either of these? I'm trying to figure out what would be best since I have a long face.



(probably a little longer than this though)

I think you could go pretty short since it looks like you have a long neck too. I like the second one or the one that pinkluna, posted. Mine is about an inch below my chin and I can still do a ponytail so you can go pretty short and still be able to do that. And i would definitely recommend layers, especially if you have pretty thick hair which it looks like you do. Otherwise you get a triangle style cut where it is too thick at the bottom.

I really like my shoulder length with lots of layers! It's pretty easy to just dry and straighten yet still long enough to put up in a pony/bun! Go on Pinterest though they have a ton of medium length dos

The second one is cute summergirl1211

Um is that second pic you posted of your twin??!?!?!?! Either of those styles would be super cute on you! I'm a big fan of taking a few idea pics in, and asking the stylist their opinion too; if it's your regular stylist they know your hair and how it falls and what type of cut works with your hair.
Also, if you stylist has time for some color but not full ombre, you could ask about highlights on the under layers. My girl said she'd been doing a ton of that for a subtle faux ombre look, especially if you're wanting lots of layers.

I'm completely out of it and had to look up what an ombre look was. I can't afford color anyway and my hair is too short. oh well.

cookiesandwine, you are too sweet. She is much MUCH cuter than me, and I'm guessing at least 10 years younger. I was thinking about showing her both of the pics above to see what she thinks and go from there. And great suggestion about highlights on the under layers! Thank you!

tribute17, yep, my hair is super thick. I talked with my stylist a little last time and we agreed I'd have to add some layers so it isn't just a big poof on my head.

I like the Natalie Portman one you posted. I think that would look good!

I think both of those pics would look good on you!

This is a cute style too

Don't feel bad, I had to look it up too
