Help! I need a new hair do!

[nickytwotimes]

I am a total slob and it needs to be low maintainance.
My hair is long, thick and wavy and has potential for Nigella - esque style, but atm it is like a wild, unruly, style less mop. I need some ideas for a restyle. Also, I am a bit scared about soemone hacking it off.

don't have it cut too short, it you are not sure. Just because you think it's a styleless mop doesn't mean it needs 'hacking'.

what about having some long layers put through to take some weight out and having an inch taken off the bottom to get rid of straggly ends. I assume you don't have a fringe, so would something like this be the sort of thing?
