OMG hair appt tomorrow, no idea what to go for!

So, I currently have below shoulder hair, highlighted with a good 2 inches of roots - natural hair colour the dreaded mousy brown.

Bt I want to do something other than just have the 'usual'. Thinking of adding some darker warmer highlights.....or maybe adding layers.....

What styles are fashionable right now? Any celeb looks I can google?

I have pale skin and blue eyes. (was watching SATC the other day and thinking how amazing Miranda looks with the pale skin/blue eyes/red hair combination - but I don't want all over red since my roots would be not good)

The good thing about the 'usual highlights' is they hide a multitude of sins (fine hair is suddently thicker, any odd greys are gone or blended so well you can't see them)

I really need some help! There is a picture on my profile, but my hair is alot longer than that now, and with roots [lovely emoticon]

Any assistance gratfully received,
J&G

I like this style but this isn't the best pic of it It ususally looks choppier and flickier but I think it would suit your face shape.

you look dead young!

Oooh thanks Cybil for the lovely young comment big

Hair-wise, I do like that (maybe a longer version so can tie back) but I am not sure I would manage that kind of flickery to achieve that look

I had mine cut last week - it's Lily-esque but because it was long, she left the bottom layers past shoulder length, and I LOVE it. It's so bouncy and versatile - I can add oomph to the top layers for volume or make it all sleek, and the shape at the front is so nice.

CybilLiberty · 04/12/2009 20:29

yes jewels but with straight fringe due to hairdresser over zealousness. Tis veh easy to care for, and requires no straightening

Jewelsandgems · 04/12/2009 20:40

OK, the lily is on the list, but really like this (and shows the colours I was thinking of too)

Oh, I LOVE Alexa, hair, clothes, the works.

She is my girl crush

You are so pretty any hairstyle will suit you

babbi · 04/12/2009 23:28

I think your hair is amazing as it is , please leave it alone.
And you do look like a teenager !

VerityBrulee · 06/12/2009 13:47

So, what did you do jewels?

Jewelsandgems · 06/12/2009 13:57

I had the alexa, and I am still getting used to it the hairdresser left the length longer and I think that was a mistake, so may get my mum to take a few inches off

Any it was dried very 'volumous' so looks a bit 'big'

OP posts:
VerityBrulee · 06/12/2009 14:17

I've had a version of the Alexa for a while, and on me it looks better shorter, otherwise it just looks like I'm growing it out IYSWIM.

I'm sure you look gorgeous!

Jewelsandgems · 08/12/2009 08:15

Verity yes, that is my thought; it looks like I am 'between styles'!
