Please help me pick a new hairstyle

in April 2012 Moms

I've been growing my hair out for some time now. Not for any particular reason, but mostly because I can't find a hairstyle I like. I need something that's easy but looks professional and good. My hair is now down to my waist and has no style whatsoever.

Part of the problem is whenever I go to a stylist, they always want me to tell them exactly what I want and I just don't know.

I admit I'm as far from stylish as anyone can get, so any input would be appreciated.

Here's what I look like so you can see the shape of my face:

And my hair. It's an old picture--doesn't usually have that much body and it's really thin.

    I have a similar face shape as you, and I have an amazing beautician that helps me choose a hair style. I usually end up telling her to do whatever she wants! I've rocked the Jennifer Aniston for awhile. I let it get shorter during my pregnancy, but now I want it longer for pony tails. Since you have a longer face, I think that layers are the way to go. Personally, I think bangs are annoying with my glasses (when I wear them) or else I'd suggest more like a Faith Hill style (is that Faith Hill with Reese? I don't know).

    My style is pretty boring too, and I have ridiculously thick, wavy hair so I'm no help!  I do recommend finding a good salon and working with your stylist.  I just switched my salon and couldn't be happier.  I went in with no pictures and told my new stylist I needed some professional with easy upkeep and the ability to pull up in a pony tail.  She did a wonderful job and I'm so happy.  The salon was a little pricier than I would've liked to pay, but the outcome was well worth it!

    Thanks.

    How much do you ladies pay for a decent cut? The last time I went to someone a friemd suggested, I paid 45 and got the same cut as when I went to Great Clips.

    My last hair cut was $60 without tip.  I felt bad paying it, but I don't really spend a ton of money on myself and it's my "me" time as DH put it.

    A cut is $32, and every other cut (or when I can afford it), I get cut and highlights/lowlights at $80. The hour or two that I'm with her though is complete therapy and well worth it. She ended up being a bridesmaid in my wedding because I love her so much!

    I have this as well...lots of layers. I can't go too short bc I have kind of wavy hair. It will look great on you. Also, if you plan on going short, maybe you can consider donating to "locks of love" since you have such long hair. I can never get my hair to that length but would love to donate.

    What does your hair do when it's short? Does it get any wave or curls? I hate doing my hair... I'm a teacher and it's usually in a pony/bun because I hate the feeling of it being in my face. You could angle it in the front (on the sides, no bangs) and go shoulder length... like the J. Aniston pic above, just shorter. Post a pic after you do it!

    My hair kind of fluffs out when short and I look like a mushroom.

    I do plan on donating; I've done it 3 times already. Not sure if I'll do LOL, though. I'd kind of like to find one that makes wigs for cancer patients.
