Who wants to help me? :) Please?

I need some advice. Would it be a good or a bad idea to get a few long layers put into my thick shoulder length hair? I`m growing it out, but I am soooooooo bored with it and I thought that some long layers would take away some of bulk, and make it a little more interesting. My goal is about bra length, with some long layering, so my hair hair would grow out this way anyways if I got it cut w/ layers. Please can someone give my some advice?
Luv, Arianna:)

Actually, I just went through a similar thing. I`ve been growing my hair out from a very short cut (like 1 inch long) for almost two years.

I was really starting to like the length (just above my shoulders, no bangs, one length), but my hair has some wave, and it was getting very hard to straighten. I tried to style it wavy, but it looked triangular. It also felt bulky, and it was starting to split a bit.

I decided to get layers and I am so happy with it. I can easily style it in a smooth flip, or blow dry upside down for volume. Plus, it got rid of my damaged ends without losing length. It cut my styling time from 30 minutes to 5-15 (depending on the style).

Everybody is different, but for me, the layers were great.

A few long and i mean long layers might not be a bad idea. I cut layers into my hair (long ones) almost 2 years ago and while there is some maintanence (sp) they remove some of the bulk and make your hair lighter.
