Ok, i have trimmed my own hair for the last 18 months but the time has come for a proper cut. Thing is, everytime i have gone for a restyle in the past i have come out with the exact same cut, shoulder length, lots of layers, straightened. My hair is naturally a bit wavy but not wavy enough to look good if you know what i mean. It is currently about shoulder blade length and i dye it dark brown. I'm 28 and I have an oval shaped face. Would like to still be able to tye it up and as i have a 2yo and am hoping to do my pgce next year would ideally like something airly low maintenance. I like myself with 'big' hair rather than very straight as i always seem to end up with. Is there a cut to suit my needs or am i expecting too much, any and all suggestions/links to images i could take when i go would be hugely appreciated. Thanks :)

a perm - not 80s style, but large, loose waves.

about 8 or 9 down, NOT the 'big fro' look

I asked about a perm once but hairdresser talked me out of it saying they were really unpredictable and i could end up with that 80's style perm. Is that a load of crap?! I'd love hair like that if i can afford the 'up keep'.

i don't know - but I have long hair. when wet, it seems to have a slight wave, and has a bit of bounce, but when dry it just goes straight. so, i got a perm last christmas & it was just loose waves - was done in big curlers, and still lasted well through the summer - i ended up with the kind of 'beach hair' that I wanted - tousled/wavy with natural highlights.

about to get it all cut off now though
