Alright, here's my situation. I'm a college girl and I'm so sick of all my bad hair days. I have brown, wavy and somewhat thick hair. The length reaches my collarbone. My last haircut was 13 weeks ago and I had some layers cut near the ends. Unfortunately, they didn't help enough with the heaviness around my face. That's my "mane" ;) problem. I've always looked the same for over 10 years and I know it's time for a change. I don't like long hair so my ideal styles range from shoulder length and up. I want a easy to care for, cute style. A lot of people talk a bout bobs on the net but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't suit me. Therefore, can anyone please suggest some styles that will take the heaviness off of my face, and please provide me with directions to explain to my hairdresser. If you were a hairdresser, what style would you choose?

You also think it's time for a change. So why don't go for a short hairdo? I think you should go for a "pixie". Ypu're wavy hair is much more curlier when it's shorter. So you'll get lots of volume and it's very easy to take care of. It's up to you to take the final step and go for it!Good luck, Helen
