I really want to grow my hair out which is now to my shoulders or so but I`m not sure if I`ll look good with long hair because it hasn`t been long since I was in elementary school. I also don`t know what type of style I should go for when it gets long ( to about my bra strap.)
Here is a suggestion. Find a photo of a long haired woman with your general coloring. Then carefully cut the face out and get your driver`s license photo and put your face into the cutout. This will give you an idea of how you look with long hair.
Another option is to try on long wigs. A long time ago, a very very long time ago I was toying with the idea of going red. I went to a wig emporium and tried on red hair. YUCK YUCK YUCK. It saved my hair`s life. :-) I definitely need to be blonde.
Just some thoughts.
Best wishes, Karen
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-)
Karen has an excellent suggestion. I found a really cool pony tail clip-on wig at the mall last week for $30. I plan to wear it only for special occasions while my hair is growing out. I can put my hair in a pony tail and clip on the wig, which is long and falls several inches past my shoulders. I got a color that matches my natural color pretty well. It gives me a good idea about how I hope my hair will look in a few years. The only shocking thing to me is still the color. I used to be a bleached blond (for over 10 years!) and now I`m having a hard time adjusting to how dark my natural color really is, as I am really fair skinned. There are a lot of fun hair wigs and accessories out there if you look. Bandanas are fun, too and they don`t pull on the hair like clips or scrunchies. The style of long hair that I have always thought was pretty is all one length, healthy, shiny, and straight. But that`s just my opinion. I like naturally curly, too - but I definately don`t like the way perms look.

There are a few "virtual makeover" sites, even though I haven`t tried one, I think the idea is that you scan your picture and then you can try on different looks on your computer. If you do try that, let me know hoe you like it.
