Who is up for giving me a hair overhaul?

[MadMommaMemoo]

after being ill for quite some time I have neglected my appearance. I feel frumpy and now really want to do something about it.

I have been told on here that the best place to start is with my hair but I have no idea what to do with it. Do I just have a trim or get it all chopped off? Or how about a completely new colour?

I have put some pics on my profile so you can see just how bad it is!!

Need lots of ideas because I planning on being gorgeous again by the summer! :)

I really like your hair! But a good cut and colour can do wonders to make you feel better. I'm sorry but I don't have any suggestions - grab some magazines, see which hair styles and colours appeal to you and then get a recommendation for a good stylist and see what they recommend too...
post some after pics for us!

What about getting a fringe put in, see what your hairdresser suggests. Personally I think you'd really suit one, but it makes a big change without having to do anything too drastic. Your colour is lovely btw.

I often thing about a fringe but Im scared I'd really regret it. I've always had my hair long but sometimes long to have it all cut off.

I was just thinking a fringe would work too Honeydragon. Taking just an inch or so off the length at the side and a longish fringe, sitting just below your brows.

Nooo, I think a fringe would look lovely. From the photos your hair colour looks lovely. I would love to be dark haired

I used to be scared of fringes too, I was glad I went for it in the end as it took years of me

Agree with fringe. I just had one cut for the 1st time since I was a teenager (now 40) and my mum didn't know me- in a good way! Back is now in graduated bob and am really pleased with it. Feels more 'styled' iykwim. Go for it. We can't all be wrong

OMG a fringe! I might just go for it,

do it do it do it

You can always have a slightly longer fringe Claudia Winkleman stylee, and then if you hate it, it won't be long before you can pin it out of the way.

Do you think it would work with my hair though because it's quite wavy

Been thinking about it and I'm going to do it!

yeah, I don't think you could go for a super straight bob type thing but perhaps you could try something a bit less structured that way if you don't like the fringe idea you can sweep it to one side more...

Yaaaaaay! you must show pictures after

Was thinking fringe too. Otherwise would just get split ends sorted, long layers and maybe a conditioning treatment (or Moroccan oil).

I will definitely do before and after pics! Have just told dh he is treating me to an afternoon at the hairdressers ;) he owes me!

Yes yes! A fringe! headfairy's link is lovely, I also like the bob length in that pic.

You could move your parting a bit more to the side and sweep your fringe across. I have wavy hair and a 'straight down' fringe didn't sit very well. A good hairdresser will be able to tell you whether yours would work.

Pictures after please!
