What can I do to make my hair look better?

[SingleHandSue]

I’m having a crisis of confidence in my looks and think I need to change my hair.

My hair is naturally mousy but I’ve been dyeing it since I was 13. It’s been many colours over the years but most recently I’ve coloured it a dark reddish brown. It used to be quite thick in my younger years but since having DS (16 years ago!) it’s been thin and straggly. It’s also incredibly greasy.

I don’t suit a fringe, I don’t suit it shorter than a Bob so I’ve never really done much with it.

I’m 41, a bit podgy and have rosacea.

What style, colour etc. could I go for?

I always think naturally mousy hair looks great when lightened. Even an ash blonde getting darker to the top? I would get a good trim to keep the hair healthy but no drastic change to length.
