Want to change my hair...?

Question

ok well i have brown hair with some gold highlights naturally and i want to dye my hair dark brown. i already have the shade and everything but nw im thinking that i want to get it cut too. i have really long, normal, flat hair. it goes 3/4's down my back, i have a side part, i have been growing out my side bangs for about a year and a half and they are a few inches shorter then the rest of my hair now, and i have some long layers.

i want something that keeps my length and keep it simple but gives it something because right now its wayy too boring and it has no shape or anything. i may b willing to get side bangs again but im not sure. please provide pictures. thanks :]

Answer 2

yes, you are correct to feel that your long hair is too boring.  Long hair is heavy and it will pull down and make it quite flat.  That's why you have long hair, right?  Otherwise, what's the point?

When you have all the hair hanging down to the same length, it's the most boring style.  You need to have angles, different lengths to make it interesting.

Once the hair is hanging below the shoulder line, it does nothing for your face.  You need to have lengths that form points of interest near your face, such as shorter bangs, or tendrils, or wisps or something.  And having hair hang way down your back sure does nothing for you either.

The really best thing you can do is to have a consultation with a professional hair stylist who has the training and the experience to know what is possible with YOUR hair, with YOUR face, and with YOUR lifestyle.  What may be good for me, or your friend, won't look good for you.  Asking a bunch of inexperienced strangers is NOT the right thing to do!  Be sure to ask about cost.  Ask about up-keep (trims and such). Ask about colour too.  They may have suggestions you never even thought about.  Don't do something drastic without professional help.
