An important question!!!

What do I do with my hair?

Yes, that's a super-bad photo, but I've been sick since Sunday, so I have good reason for looking like that.

I need to get a trim, badly. I was keeping my bangs super short a few months ago, but haven't had a hair cut since October or so, except for one attempt at trimming my bangs myself. I'm going to go to a new place soon (haven't decided where yet) and I need some guidance.

This is the longest my hair has been in 10 years -- all through college it was about 3" long all over -- so I don't want to do any super drastic cutting, but I'm willing to experiment.

Offhand, I'm thinking of trying to grow the bangs out, which means possibly getting layers cut in it. That's fine, because I while I was aspiring to those long straight cuts (think Gwyneth Paltrow) my hair is way too thick to ever look that straight without excessive styling products/appliances. And while I can be into primping, time is not on my side in the morning.

Help?

I posted almost this exact post with this exact hair (in fact, you remind me of me -- we don't look just alike, but I think we have a similar look) a few months ago. Lots of folks said GROW OUT YOUR BANGS! so I'm trying that.

But I had your exact current cut for years, with regular trims. It got boring.

Now, I'm going back and forth among headbands, pony tails, and just letting it hang. Still boring.

That's about what I'm doing right now: ponytails, and letting it hang (which is much more accurate I think than "wearing it down"). The most interesting thing I can do with it is twist it up in chopsticks. I *wish* I could do that cute "oh, doesn't it look like I just whipped this up here and left it where it was" look, but if I try that, it still looks overly neat.

Most people say they wish they had hair with volume like mine, but I find myself yearning for super straight superfine hair that's just... I don't know....hair, I guess. :-)

I think I'm delirious from cold medicine. I'm stopping my mumblings now. :-)
