You have lovely long hair.  I wouldn't cut or color it.

Your hair is wonderful!!! I`d leave it just like it is.

I'm inclined to agree with everyone else. You have fabulous hair as it is.

The red streaks look good, but are very hard to keep up. (My friend has hair your colour and when she had a similar job done on it, the streaks kept fading to orange.) And it's quite hard on your hair, as your natural colour has to be stripped out in order for the red to show up as vibrant as what you'd like.

I'm having a debate with myself over whether I should cut in a few layers around my face at the moment to add a bit of dimension. Only, I hate having hair fall in my face when I've got the rest pulled back, and that's whats stoppin me. 

Consider putting some red shrinkie extensions in your hair. They don't damage the hair, and after you remove them, the trace of adhesive can be removed with vegetable oil.

ugg one reason i wanna do something crazy to my hair. i have that stupid little innocent cutesy look, which if you met me and we hung out you would know its nothing like how i am! I have been reading alot about hair color and it does sound like a  lot of work...and damage. So maybe I'll cut out the the coloring. But maybe a new style or cut. And I'm TRYING to grow my hair out and I know your still suppose to get trims and i do, but it seems like it grows a lot....then i get a trim every once in a while and alllllll that length i grew back is GONE! so it doesnt grow..just stays the same.


PS~ oh and is it ok to use a color revial conditioner on hair w/ no color in it? cuz right now im using the pantene color revival b/c its a thick conditioner and my hair is really damaged and everything ive used for dry/damaged hair hasn't worked. i know pantene isn't a very well liked product for those who know a lot about hair, but i used my moms and it actually made my hair feel a lot better than it did (it just might be a one time thing) and i used it also b/c my natural haircolor was fading from chlorine damage...it seems to had brough more color to my hair too.

I know what you mean.  I'm thirty-four years old and no one believes it if I'm not dressed in my nursing scrubs.  If you are going to cut your hair I wouldn't do anything drastic like getting a pixie cut, which I think would only make you look younger and more cutsie.   I think you would look good with bangs and a blunt cut across the bottom.  And try the colored extensions or some hair toys with punk feel, something made of leather or has metal on it.

I don't know a lot about this, not having researched it
myself-but are there temporary colours that could be put in as streaks, ect, that could be washed out and hence, not causing any damage?  Anyone ever heard of those?  It might be a thought.
