Need a change!

Ive had this hair for so long now, i want a change! Right now, it's below the shoulder reaching bra strap, blond, straight, thin, and i can do nothing nice with it, it just hangs, looks miserable! So ive been thinking of going short, one length.
Do you ladies ever feel hagged, bored with the way you look? I'm also thinking, shorter, would be a lot easier to wear in summer. I want this fresh summer look.

I just got my hair cut because of the breakup. I always feel I need to change when my life changes! If you have good bone structure in your face a short cut with a lot of layers would look awesome. It also makes thin hair look more full!

Go for it Mandy!! If it turns out it's not your favorite cut you know it will always grow back right?


Don't forget to send before/after pics to us so we can all see ok??

I agree with Lindsey that layering thin hair makes it look thicker. Mine has gotten thin with age, and wearing it one length now is self-defeating in that it just looks thinner and more lifeless.

I cut my hair off. It was at the bottom of my back & I cut it just below my ears. I love it. I still get bored with it alot but cutting it off was the best thing I've ever done with my hair. I have very thin, straight, limp hair. I have long layers in it to make it look fuller & easier to do something with. I also use a volumizing mousse. I have garnier fruitress's which I love . Wash, rinse, towel dry, mousse, then hang my hair upside down to blow dry. It works wonders. Hope that helps some =)

Mandy, I think I was born hagged and bored with the way I look....

I bet you'll look great. Find a style that you feel you would like in a magazine or online and take it with you.

I was suppose to get my hair cut and colored the last week of February, but I canceled because I didn't want to leave Emilee while she was getting close to her due date. It has grown so much, but I'm not sure if I want to go back to the same cut now that it is longer or even get it colored for the matter. If I don't color it, it will be completely gray. I just don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe we can change styles together......you go first....

I've been thinking of when school is out (kids can be so truthful AND cruel) that instead of coloring my hair all the time....maybe I will get it frosted or something like that. Only two months till school is out...so I could just go for a nice trim to even things out right now and then do the "biggie" at the end of May.

By golly, I think I've just talked myself into it!!! And you helped!!

Nope, not yet, but I will Monday. I'm kinda of excited now to have it frosted. I've never done it before. I may even get the courage up to have it done before school is out......nah...who am I kidding.....those kids can be mean...
