My hair is waist length and very straight. It doesn't hold curl at all. My hairs pretty much all one length. I can't have bangs because I struggle with acne, and between the oil from my hair and skin, it makes me break out too much. I usually just either leave my hair down, put in a headband, or tie it back. I don't know what else to do. I'm afraid to cut it because I've had long hair like forever. I was thinking of dying my hair brown though. I've had layers and I don't really like them too much.
Anyone have any ideas on how I can put my hair up or back or how I should cut it?

well brown would look nice. i think you could pull off shorter hair really well. if u found a short style you like how short would u be willing to go? how dark of brown where u thinking. A new color and shorter hair will make you look like a different person.

I don't want to go too dark brown in case I want to dye it back blond or grow it out. I don't know how short I'd go. Depends on how much I like the cut. And I don't like blowdrying my hair, and I don't even have a straightener, so I don't want a haircut that I'd have to style using heat everday.
Two cuts that I found that I thought were cute:

Well i'd definately go blonde, I think if you went darker it may make you look a little bit pale.  The blonde picture you posted would be perfect. Shorter but not too short.  I'd say go for it and let us know how you got on.
 
All the best, and try and pist a pic of your new style if you can.

HI Heather. I know you posted a while ago, but I thought I 'd give you some ideas anyway.  I like the blonde on you too. Maybe you could do just front layers starting from the chin or lips or something. THen the back wouldn't be layered, but your hair would frame your face more when you wear it down. Also, since your hair doesn't hold curl, you could try sleeping with a bun on top of your head to give you more volume and you might not get that kink.

Hi Heather,

Your hair looks gorgeous, as it is now.  If you want shorter hair, you may want to try one of those virtual makeovers that show the hair with your face.  If you want ideas on the variety of ways to style long hair, you may want to post your inquiry in the Long Hair Support Forum.

I haven't cut my hair yet. I'm kinda afraid to. I've had long hair for so long. I've talked to my best friend and my boyfriend about it, they both said go for it... I just haven't really convinced myself yet. One of my friends just cut her hair and it looks so cute. One thing is I want to make sure its long enough to do something cute for prom. And I don't want to give my mom a heart attack when I tell her.
