Confessions of a hair novice.


So I am getting my haircut tomorrow. I have no idea how I want it cut. I am not good at doing my hair and to tell you the truth, I am plain lazy. Depending on how early I have to be to work and how much earlier I would have to wake up determines whether I will flat iron my hair or just throw it up into a messy bun right out of the shower (which is all I really know how to do, pathetic I know).


So my hair is about this length right now while straight, more or less. (Btw, I love this hair!)


I know I don't want to go too short because my hair is thick and poofy so I would just end up looking like a big mushroom. Plus this is the longest I have had my hair in a long time so I am kind of attached to it but I really need to get rid of these nasty split ends, ugh... I am going to go for side bangs again though, that I do know that for sure.



This one is cute, but I would most likely keep my hair a little longer.


This is super cute too.


If I were brave, but I'm not...


As of right now I am thinking of just trimming an inch or two off, with long layers and the side bangs. That way I can continue to grow my hair out. Not gross down to your bottom long, but nice long, unless anyone has a better suggestion...

Now on to styling.

I really like Amanda Seyfried's hair, especially in Letter's to Juliet. (All that is missing is the side bangs.) How do I get my hair to look like this? Do I straighten it then curl it? I guess I need to buy a curling iron, that might help.

Or how do I do this?


Another problem is I have this weird in-between hair. It's not curly, it's not straight, but it sure is FRIZZY! So frustrating, hence just throwing it up everyday. So if anyone has any hair solutions, tips, ideas for cuts, styling and managing, please let me know (the more simple, quick, and easy the better). That goes for straight or curly styles because I would like to be able to do either at a moments notice and according to my mood.

As for up-dos and actually doing my hair all fancy like, I am at a COMPLETE loss.

I would love to be able to do this.

Or this.

But, back to the immediate problem at hand, I need cute hair cut ideas, and I need them fast. My appointment is for 7:00 PM tomorrow. As for the styling tips just keep them coming. I need all the help I can get.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it more than you know!

Sounds like my hair is kind of like yours. If I don't straighten it it's a wavy frizzy mess and if I don't scrunch it/curl it then it's not pretty curly either it' just blah. Of course my hair is really thin so I have the volume problem that it sounds like you don't have. I took a risk and went super short for me- I've never had short hair and I don't LOVE it but I do like it and it's been so much easier to do my hair and much faster which is exactly what I needed with my lack of time and laziness - plus now I almost can't put it in a ponytail so I'm forced to do it. You'll have to show us a picture of your new cut!

I am super lazy too...what I've been doing is showering at night and in the morning I curl it with the straightener and its super fast and stays wavy all day...you can make it curly or wavy with the straightener...I might be doing a tutorial of this on my blog soon...Also, I just read something about how if you roll it up in 4 "onion buns" when it is wet at night you will wake up to pretty waves...I haven't tried it yet though.

Jessica, please do post a tutorial about it! I was talking to Michelle yesterday when she cut my hair and that was the first I had ever heard of actually curling your hair with a straightener. So I am curious to learn how it's done. I did end up buying a curling iron today but knowing both ways would be a big help!
