    Default Hair Help!

    I've always wanted long hair, but now that I have it, it looks all limp and scraggly. I'm going to post a couple photos of it completely unstyled and ask for advice. How can I get my hair looking prettier? Or should I just cut it, like some of my friends suggest? Any advice welcome.

    Note: I took these with my new iPad, which I'm not yet accustomed to - hence the puzzled look in this first one! I'm thinking Am I aiming this right? lol

    Too much weight to it. If you haven't had a trim in a while, get an inch or so off the bottom, then get layers all the way around? I can't tell from the pics if you have layers already, if you do, then more dramatic? You'll have the length and the weight off the outer-most layer will get rid of 'limp'. Maybe start small and see how it goes?

    My last haircut was in early November. I have gotten layers, although I don't think they were "dramatic" - what does that mean?

    Instead of a couple inches apart in length, further apart. That's what I meant by dramatic. Also, maybe change up your shampoo and conditioner?

    Is your hair thick or fine, Nancy? And what do you do with it - or perhaps more to the point, what do you have TIME to do with it?

    I have really thick, heavy hair and have had it at a similar length to yours - but it looked much better cut to shoulder length, with layers in - it framed my face better and was easier to manage...

    Soda, it's up to you, but I just want to tell you that I really like your hair & I hope you wouldn't change it too much.

    EK - It's fine, much to my dismay. I almost always wear it half-up, half-down; the sides are pulled back and in clip at the crown of my head, with the rest loose.

    FP - thank you!

    Hi sodascouts! I like the length and blunt cut look that your hair has now. I don't know whether you'd be really truly happy with a change in length or dramatic layers. You can always change the way you wear your hair by collecting styles that don't require a different haircut or length, and by trying them out to see how they'd look. It is nice to preserve that styling/versatility option. Maybe an occasional trim would keep the end-straggles even, and that might cause your hair to look thicker throughout its length.

    I use Pantene Volume Shampoo. (only the shampoo--right now, not an additional conditioner)
    An add -- The Pantene two-in-one products (shampoo+conditioner) are not too bad, either.

    P.S. There's no real "hair-magic" that a completely new haircut and style could give you. The conception is illusory. It is all practice, to get everything to work together in an individually complementary way.
