Need something new...

Hey! I have long waist length hair and I'm ready for a change!!! I don't want to take of too much length, but I'd like something funky with all-around long choppy/piecey layers. Do I just tell my stylist that or what? I'd really like to have a couple pics to take in for further reference, so if anyone knows where I could find a few, it's be greatly appreciated!

Thanx,
Me

Hi! Definitely find a good stylist (one who will talk to you beforehand about exactly what you want), and bring in some pictures. Check the galleries on this site- there are tons of pix of styles. Another good one is Hairdos.com.
Make sure you're as specific as possible about what you want, especially when it comes to the length. If you don't want it too short, then tell the stylist exactly how much you want taken off and hold them to that. If the stylist isn't willing to listen to what you want, don't let them touch your hair. A good stylist will listen.

Good luck to ya!

I had long hair until I cut it about shoulder lenght. When I look back, at pictures of me with long hair, I regret cutting it as short. If I were you, I'd cut my hair to about under my chest, and get chunky layers(I like layers starting from the end of my nose but that's my opinion). You should definately bring a picture showing exactly want you want, as if she made a mistake, your hair takes a long time to grow.
