Hi, first time posting here. I`ve recently been dumped, and I`ve got to a point In my life where I`d really like to change the way I look.
At the moment, I have light brown/reddish hair down to my shoulders with a very slight wave in it. It`s pretty much been the same for years apart from the odd dye job, and now I`m getting terribly bored of it. And I`d like some suggestions. I`m a little scared of cutting too much, as I`m concious about the way I look (I think have big ears :))
Any experts here that can help? I have photos, but haven`t got the slightest clue how to get them up here.
A.

If you have big ears...or you think you do. Then try this cut.

or search @ hairboutique.com for Edgy Short Styles For Women & Men - Year 2000.
Another great styles to go for is to get layers or get a really chunky cut. Usually, chunky cut or edgy short style/shag will hide big ears. And plus if you get highlights and stuff like that, it`ll look even more fabulous. Hope this helps!

Hi
I know how you must be feeling.....I`ve been there - many times. But unless you would have been changing your hair regardless of whether you were dating this guy or not. Don`t do it. I have gone out and done something drastic after a breakup, only to regret it later.
If you did plan on changing it, then take it slow. Maybe have some fun with color , chunky layers and long bangs.
Take care and remember - whoever this guy was, he fell for you the way you are - and you should never change the way you look for anyone but yourself. My humble opinion.

Trish: Don`t think that would suit me, thanks for your help though.
Hairalways: I definatley want to do something new, I`m just not sure what though.
Is there anywhere on the web where I can overlay different hairstyles on my picture to see what I`d look like? I`ve seen some programs that can do it but the results always seem to look a bit weird.

How much time do you send on you hair each day... how much are you willing to spend? That is very important when picking a new style. If you are a wash and go type person you should look for that type style. On most days how do you wear your hair?
