I need a new hairdo

melody921 · August 2013

I'm getting a cut and highlights Saturday, thank goodness. But I can't decide what to do with this mop. It's naturally curly and is in its true muppet form today, but a lot of times I straighten it for work because I think it looks more professional. Right now, it's a few inches past my shoulders when it's straight and just has some long layers. Back in the fall I had it about shoulder-length with a few more layers and a full bang. I liked that, especially since my face is kind of long and I thought the bang helped break it up. but I can't decide if I want a bang again, especially since I have to get them off my face to exercise. Anyone have a hairstyle they love or one that you've seen that you'd be willing to share?

I have wavy hair. This is my normal go to cut right now.

And this is what I am trying to get the courage to do but I am scared of bangs.

LOVE those bangs on the 2nd! The first is super cute, but since my hair is either CURLY or straightened, I'm not sure how I'd pull it off.

@hmp1, I love the hair in both of those pictures. I think the second one is super, super cute and I think you should do it!! You're so pretty so I imagine any hair looks good on you though!

@melody921, how do you feel about a longer, subtle a-line bob. I feel like they are super classic, but also appear that an effort is usually made on the hair, curly or straight!

I could be feeling it. Thanks!

I wear my naturally curly hair in a longer bob that sits just past my shoulders. Like @melody932 said, it looks like I make way more effort than I actually do, but I have given up on straightening my hair. Ever. I have enough hair for 4 people.

How short are you thinking of going? Do you wear it back a lot?

melody921 · August 2013

I don't wear it back unless I'm exercising/bumming around the house. It's down every day for work.

Since I'm incapable of putting a f-ing picture into a post, what do you think of that? I had this for awhile and L O V E D it. It looks great straight, it looks great curly, and even for massive hair like mine, it didn't get poofy when I wore it curly.

Cute, but I am not sure I want to go that short. I'm afraid!

i think this would be cute (the first or second pic)

Im getting my haircut tonight. Mine is in a just below my chin grown out bob right now. I want something different and a little more layered. im doing this, with a little shorter of a bang because long bangs hang in my face too much.

Is this like what Giuliana Rancic is currently sporting?

Yes, I think that's a good example. So cute!

Mine was about shoulder length too with bangs and also naturally curly. I just got a wedge bob and I love it! It's easier to style and dries faster! It also doesn't take me as long to straighten out. It falls just below my chin when curly. I would recommend it!

OK, help the hair terminology challenged here. What is a wedge bob?

ETA: I think I found some good examples. thanks!
