Hurray for Matt and Beth! Happy anniversary!

In shorter hair news, I'm considering chopping mine (don't get too excited now, Hec). I think with the bright red, a shorter cut might be more dramatic and fun. Thoughts? Right now my hair is about this color and is cut something like this (though not so square nor anywhere near so full and shiny): [link]

I liked this, but I think it's longer than my current cut: longish cut with shortish bangs, but I'm also thinking it might be fun to do something more dramatic, like this. or this: [link]

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Edited to fix third link to the cut I meant to show.

David, it's fairly thick and turns into a frizzy 1/2 curly 1/2 straight mess if I allow it to dry naturally. Which is why I blowdry the heck out it every morning.

I'll just throw the notion out that if you went to stylist who specialized in curly hair, you could get a cut that was sexy/curly/wavy instead of mass of frazz. There's a whole curly-cut philosophy emerging which emphasizes cutting it dry, cutting the curl at a particular place in the bend etc. that's very different from the kind of pulling it straight while wet cutting approach. That way you could keep the length, but have a different look that (theoretically) required less blow dry maintenance.

Oh--important other details--my hair is fine (but not thin) and has natural curl. It doesn't like being forced to straighten (though it's much easier when it's shorter), and I have to really work to overcome the waviness.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Go to Scrappy's hairstylist! You could pull off any of those looks.

and I have to really work to overcome the waviness.

I have to say, I'm an advocate of learning to work with what your hair does naturally.

Oooh! Pictures, please! I don't think I've ever seen you with straight hair.

Please note that for me, "straight" doesn't equal "hangs straight down," like it does with you (or, IIRC, Anne). It just means "not wavy, but will hang any damn way it pleases, so just accept that."

And if I have time, I'll take a picture.

Oddly enough, I am scheduled to have my hair cut this afternoon. Whee!

I'm definitely feeling like I want a hair cut. It's just that my damned hair takes ages to grow out again, so it's always a tough decision for me.

You'd look very striking in those cuts.

Thanks Hec, and thanks for the compliment earlier.
