Various colors of dye might work, but that's something a bit more harsh.

Bah, worst or not, it's still a good picture.

I would have to say try out long hair, maybe a different color. Try Red, or blue, or purple even if you can get away with it.

Seriously, though, go with long hair. And take Fizo's coloring suggestion.

Long hair also sucks to maintain.

I should know, my hair is only a touch shorter than Ares's right now.

Hmmm. My advice is to check out one of those girly magazines and just flip through the images. See if you find any particular styles you like.

I'd say more but I am thoroughly jealous of your hair's tendancy to poof, my hair is just... straight

Mine it too much 'poof'... Makes my face look fatter than it already is.

Its ok, I've been sorta wearing it in a bun on the back of my head lately.

I really wanted to change up and I considered dyeing it plum in color and then doing the tips in violet. Then I realized I'd get fired =\

Still, ideas though!

You could try highlights as well, just realize that they are more expensive than getting your hair dyed (if you do it professionally).

Older pictures. I did it in.. august?

Given that I have no idea of female hairstyles, maybe talking with a stylist or something about a new style/colour that might suit you better... (or does that only work with Image Designers in SWG??)

Suffice to say that IMHO I can see no reason from your pictures as to why you'd want to change... but this is coming from a guy who's idea of a haircut it a 6-weekly visit to the barber for a 4mm buzzcut all over.. *shrugs*

Not really a suggestion, just saying.

I understand the desire to change your look.

I love the female hair styles where it's like "omg layers and flips and WTF" - but that would be way mucho work.

Having little hair is great. Really saves on the shampoo costs.

So...I say not too short, but somewhat short. And a nice dark red color. Red is awesome.

Barring that getting it cut around botton-of-the-jaw length might be good. Would accentuate the face.

Seconded.

Personally, my hair is insanely thick and I can't let it get too long or it drives me crazy and I have to have it up or I get sweaty really fast. So, as far as cuts go, I think medium-length stuff tends to be the safest for most people. Generally with medium-length stuff, even if you're not completely happy with it, there's still enough to put some of it up so you don't feel like a total doof.

This is the cut I got a few months ago:

I felt like it was a "safe" cut and I ended up totally adoring it.

Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons Straight irons !!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!

straighteners, flat irons, whatever

I love mine. I don't use it as often anymore, but I love it. It's SOOOOO nice. A decent one will probably run you $60-70 though. >.< Mine was $70, and that was WITH my grandmother's discount. She got me a super duper ultra awesome one though, you can just get a decent one. Even a cheap one would work for a little while. The ones with the ceramic plates are supposed to be the best, because it's supposed to be less damaging to your hair. Plus the metal plates, like on cheap ones, tends to stick to your hair after awhile, and it'll yank a bit (I had a cheap one before I had my current one)... plus the cheap ones do not work as well, because they do not get as hot as professional ones. Mine still runs smooth over my hair, works perfectly. Have had it almost a year now, and you're talking to a girl kills all of her hair dryers within months of getting them.

Gotta be careful with the professional ones, though. I've gotten some nasty burns. >.<

Dark brown may be too dark for your skin colour, I have olive skin and I dyed my hair espresso brown and it looked black :S, i kinda looked goth i barely pulled it off. (And there is nothing wrong with gothic people, that's just not my 'look')

Maybe try for a light brown colour, then buy a brown brow brush, this way you will have more attention brought to your eyes (they're really nice, mine are poop brown!)

Good luck, if all else fails, go for a semi-permanent dye, this way some will wash off and it isnt as damaging to your hair.

Good Luck!! I'm sure you'll look fine no matter what you do.

You should look into getting your own shaver. They are only $50 or something and they pay for themselves superquick when you compare it with going to the barber every few weeks.

I think that with your complexion, red would be just "wrong" looking, black too severe, and blonde would just seem a little too pale. But a light brown would work well.

Then if you had it professionally braided with light blue beads on the ends to bring out your eyes even more, it would look stunning. Braids would hopefully be to just below the shoulders, with the bang area coming down to cheekbones.

but again, just my opinion.

*turns metro for a second*

Burger's on the right path, but I would go with plain brown, or even dark brown. You should go with a hair length of about an inch and a half to two inches higher than your shoulders. This will accent the shape of your face. ( I have the same problem as you, whenever I get my hair cut really short it makes me feel fat.) You next have to deal with the shape of your hair. I'd say go with hair that goes with the curve of your face, and doesn't swoosh out at the end. Like the the woman doing hair in the picture, (if he hair was about a half inch longer) .

Highlight if needed. If your going with brown, amber and blond highlighs would be just dandy.

If you wanted to go with layering, the stylist will tell you how to get rid of that poof. What works for me is Maxxed-Out Hairspray by TIGI/Bed Head. it'll keep any hair under control.

P.S. I feel like an add.
