Thanks for the replies. I like the colour suggestions too. Do you not think short and red? I have had highlights before, they looked quite nice, but I tend to want to go darker or redder if I dye my hair. I deliberately posted pictures here where it was my natural colour though. I most often do it very dark brown as it tends to look quite natural because I have dark eyebrows, but a bit more striking. I would love to go really red, but getting your hair dyed at a salon is so expensive and I just can't afford it really, and I wouldn't really want to do something like that at home - that is why I tend to use dark colours, because I can do those myself with a semi permanent colour at home. Bananapants, the back was pretty short in the shortest pixie - my hairline at the back is a little dodgy when my hair is short, so I tended to have the back very short so that it wasn't a problem.

So, I look at your photos and love both the shortest pixie and the longest past shoulders. I think both work really well for you. If you go back to pixie again, I would suggest maybe doing some subtle highlights. If you go back long again, I would suggest adding red/auburn in your hair. Maybe all over red.

I like the shortest ones best personally so I would say keep it really short. Maybe something with a little longer bangs and extra short in the back and in the sides

I have posted here before and been given some good advice, so thought I would try again! About 14 months ago I had my hair cut from long to short. I kept it short for a while, in various styles, and a few months ago I started growing it as I decided I wanted a bob. It is now in that awkward phase where it doesn't look very good, and I'm tempted to cut it again, but at the same time I feel like now I have got this far I may as well keep going. What I want to know is what people think suits me best, or what cut would suit me best if it isn't one I have had, and opinions on what to do. Below are pictures of my hair in various styles.
Long with side fringe - have had various long styles, with and without fringes, and all lengths.
Midlength - I think this was a growing out bob style but I can't really remember!
First short cut
Second short cut, a bit shorter

So, thoughts? Grow it to a bob? Grow it to another style? Go shorter again, and if so what sort of style? Lately I have been finding it a bit irritating as I said, but a couple of people have said they prefer it because it is softer and that I look prettier, so I am thoroughly confused really! Thanks very much in advance for any suggestions!
X posted to General because I would like the opinion of people who prefer longer hair as well and I don't know if they read this forum.
