Poll question: I need a haircut. What should I get?
It's been forever. My hair has gone from a professional chin-length bob to way below my shoulders and out of control.

What should I do with my hair?

1. From the three or so photos I've seen,
the bob works best.

2. How about a chin-length Bill or Fred?

Get a neon green mohawk
and some tattoos on the sides of your head. How about that?

4. Based upon your recent proclivities, I would suggest a mullet.

6. Get long layers
Your hair will look neat even as it grows longer. They have to be cut long, though, or it'll look like "The Rachel." :P

7. I think there theoretically could be layers in here somewhere.
It has indeed been ages.

8. I agree with Winter1979. Find somebody that can razor-cut
really well. Not everybody can, so ask.

9. I said don't bother with the haircut
but only because that's what I prefer.

Go with what feels right, or you probably won't be satisfied with it.

I just let mine go but it's straight so it's probably not as much of a hassle. Is yours a lot of trouble or would tying it up in a knot be sufficient? That's my thing... just wind it up and go.

10. I'm low-maintenance
My hair is naturally wavy, but it's pretty easily tamed -- it doesn't go completely bonkers from air-drying.

I posted this more due to boredom than anything.

11. Might I suggest a 'do that seems to be the new thing...
It's similar to a chin length bob, except that it's layered, even kinda feathered on the sides.

Guess it's the next big thing? :shrug:

12. That sounds suspiciously like "The Wedge."
Am I not visualizing this right?

(I am so un-trendy it's not funny.)

15. Do you mean the dreaded 'Hamil Wedge'? Yoinks, no.
This hairstyle that I've noticed women wearing lately is more Mod looking, much lighter than a wedge. It's like a bob, but doesn't need bangs, and is more layered than a bob and even kind of feathered around the face. Especially in front of the ears, which is even a little longer than in the back.

It's worn kind of forward, not back.

Good luck.

16. If you're feeling adventurous, there's a website you can go to.
You can upload your picture, and for a small fee, try on a bunch of different styles and colors.

When I was recently looking to update the bunny 'do, I actually did this. It was quite funny - the kids and I had a great time trying on the hair. Afros, long blond stuff, it was quite hilarious putting them onto my picture.

I actually did find something I liked, showed the hairdresser, and she cut it the way I wanted it. I haven't been able to replicate the look at home, but that is my plight - I'm just not good with hair...

20. BLUE MOHAWK! BLUE MOHAWK!
If you ask, nicely, I'll even show you the one dolo amber gave me. Aside from being a little froofish and curly in the absence of some sort of sculpting gel, it is a perfectly cromulent blue mohawk.
