Help me pick a hairstyle, please! *updated*

[MrsAxilla]

I'm getting my first cut and color in an embarrassing long time.  My hair is long and boring and spends most of its time in a ponytail or braid.  It's wavy-ish straight-ish and currently a washed-out red color.  I need a change!  Suggestions?







Much better!  Thanks for all the suggestions!

How ready are you for change? I think a layered bob with some warm highlights would look great on you. However, if that's too much, maybe shoulder length, layers and warm highlights...

[downtoearth]

More red color - it looks good on you.

As for cut, I'm loving your long hair, but if you don't leave it down much, I'd go for something like these:
(oh, is your hair thick or fine?)

[MrsAxilla]

I do adore the red, but it just fades so darn quickly!

I'm not ready to chop all the hair off. I put it up all time time because it's so blah.

[MrsAxilla]

My hair is pretty fine. Kind of frizzy, too.

[mrsukyankee]

Shoulder length shaggy (still pull-upable) and an auburn for the autumn?

[SallyJ]

This is what I am working toward with growing my hair out. I think it would look great on you.


Red can be a lot of upkeep, so I recommend warm browns and subtle highlights.



If you like the red, this color could work well for you:

I have hair kind of like yours and I recently got something similar to the Heidi Klum picture above. It looks great and is still long enough to pull back. Before that I sort of had a Claire Danes on Homeland sort of hairdo.

I like the chin length of #3 by downtoearth  - Are you brave enough to cut that much off? It would be a very easy to care for style and cute on you as well.
Have a GOOD stylist do the cut - and listen to their advice as to what would look good on you and suit your lifestyle and preferences. This is not the time to go cheap.

I keep coming back to this one - really like it. 

What do you think of this? She looks like she has a similar texture as me.

[MrsAxilla]

I like this, too. Similar, but no bangs.

WDYT? Should I cut bangs?

[SallyJ]

I don't like Kristen Bell's cut (the blonde) because it looks so choppy. They layers don't blend enough for what I prefer. The second one of Minka Kelly (the brunette) is better because it has softer layers and would look great. The one I posted has blended layers, but they are still 'harder' than Minka Kelly cut. I like long bangs that end at cheekbones or jawbones because you can create a faux side swept bang or you can blend them in with your hair to go for a no bang look. Kind of the best of both worlds.

I style mine (blow dry root forward and opposite direction of part/sweep direction, then blow dry ends to bend back the other way) so that it isn't actually laying on my eye, but right at my eyebrow.  Sometimes I will take a bobby pin and pin back the top layer.  Most often I can just fling it back with a shake of my head.  My hair is fine and isn't heavy so it typically doesn't fall forward.
