Very boring hair related post follows - feel free to ignore!!

So today I finally finally got my haircut.  I have been putting it off for literally months, so any semblance of a style had totally grown out - not to mention I had roots from the last time I coloured it.  (I'm totally addicted to colouring my hair; it's weird.)  Anyhow, it was just really long, probably the longest I have had it in about 10 years.  My hair grows really fast though, and I'm lazy.

So the plan was to keep some of the length but add layers - kind of long layers in the back and around the face.  And then I was having this whole argument with myself about the possibility of a fringe (bangs).  The last time I had it cut I did a kind of sweepy side fringe and it looked really nice.  I think it's a good style for me.  But one of my good friends (whose judgement I trust) was absolutely convinced that I needed to do a shortish fringe (ala Amelie) but still with the long hair behind - kind of a mod cut.  So that's a pretty drastic decision, and I've been fretting about it for about three weeks now!  I mean not like non-stop, but when I thought about it I just wasn't sure.  I had kind of settled on trying that - basically the cut that Lily Allen has, until I went in today and found out that it doesn't really work with my hair.  SO annoying.  My hair is too fine for it, so that instead of being a strong fringe, it's still pretty wispy.  I was so very frustrated, because I liked the idea of the cut.  And the nice girl who did it was a little unsure about it, but I said I wanted to at least go ahead and try.  And she started out cutting it a little long, so as soon as she did it I could see that cutting a "short" fringe would never work because my hair just wasn't full enough.  But by then she had at least cut a normal fringe so I had to keep that.  I mean whatever, I always know it will grow out, or I can clip it up.  But I think this is it, the official end of my fringe experiments.  From now on it's sweepy or nothing, I swear!  With fringes it's just a fine line between boring grade-school cut and cool urban cut.  I think that the bright red colour I did this weekend helps though!

So I used this user pic because the cut I ended up with looks a lot like what Veronica has in that picture.  Except that I redyed my hair red so that's different of course.  If I get my act together this weekend I will post before and after pics.  We'll see!  So the end result is that I like the cut okay but I'm pretty disappointed in my hair's inability to do something cool.

Thank you for reminding me! My hair was in desperate need of coloring (my roots were inches long) and your post reminded me and I got it done tonight!

And my hair is too long and I'm getting it cut on Saturday.

Glad to be of service! Your hair is red too, right? What's the natural colour then?

I'm getting a good response to the haircut, so I feel positive about it. :)

Naturally, my hair is dark brown. Let me see if I can find a picture.

It's kind of this color.

I started dying my hair auburn at 19, because it was the color I wished it was naturally.

Mine is light brown (boring) and I've always wanted red hair. I've had it all colours though: blond, blond highlights, deep deep brown, bright red, strawberry red, auburn...I guess I get bored easily!
