Thin, long, lank hair- mid length cut?

[annatha]

Since having kids my hair has really thinned out and just sits flat and lank, it looks rubbish. It's tied back 99% of the time anyway but I was toying with the idea of getting it cut to my shoulders in the hope that I could get a bit of volume into it. Is that a good idea? It's so long at the minute (past boobs) that I can't seem to get curls or waves or even a bit of lift into it.

I have just had my haircut today and have gone from boob length limpness to just a tiny bit above shoulders lob. Should have done it about 5 years ago - I am really pleased but if I had hated it, this length will grow back in no time.
