please?

And please don't look at my face, I hate having my photo taken and it's hard trying to take photos of yourself with a handheld digital camera

I've had my hair like this FOREVER, and I want to get it cut (or something) on Friday (now that Argos has screwed up and won't be delivering my stuff until next week) but don't know what to have done with it........I'm not very good at "styling" it so needs to be something ridiculously easy to keep looking ok.......

hair down

hair down from the front (ooops think I caught the sun today )

tied back

up from the front (I don't really have a triple/quadruple chin - honestly!)

Come on - ideas for me please.........otherwise I'll end up with my standard on the shoulder,layered type thing

which I'm BORED of........

thank you for all your lovely comments - I was terrified of posting on the Style and Beauty topic after some of the threads I've read

Wow! Result! It looks great FAQ. Really nice.

You need some mascara to bring out those gorgeous eyes now.

I suspect a meddling toddler there Buda.

Or you have been on the G&T's.

Buda · 09/05/2008 16:01

Well he is nearly 7! So not far off - in a silly mood as just home from school and it's FRRRRIIIIIDDDDAAAAAYYYY! And a holiday here on Monday.

hls · 09/05/2008 16:01

Great- you look like a woman now instead of a school girl!

Maybe have the back cut in a bit sharper now against the nape of your neck? And a bit of slap to complete the new look?

I'll stick with this for now maybe next time I (finally) get round to having my hair cut I'll be a little more daring LOL
