I Need Your Help

For a little while now I have been contemplating doing something different with my hair.

Here are the options:

1. A cute haircut (I don't want to take much length off).
  • Pros: Undamaged hair, cheaper.
  • Cons: My hair is fine and thin and straight and tends to look stringy.
2. A perm.
  • Pros: Something different, it gives tons of body to my hair, can wear straight or curly.
  • Cons: It's a beast when I grow it out, damages hair, costs money.
3. A fun color - preferably red.
  • Pros: Also something different, lots of fun.
  • Cons: Washes out fast, more maintenance to upkeep as it grows out, costs money.
Just to give you all an idea of what I look like with a perm and with red in my hair, here are some old pics. The first two are of a perm (one with the hair down, the other with it pulled back), and the last one is with the red.



So, I need your help. If you are a lurker now is the time when I need you to comment and to be brutally honest. What should I do? What do you like best?

My first choice would be a cute haircut, second, dye it red.

oooh, you look darling with your hair permed!!!
though, if it were me, I'd go with cute haircut... I just can't seem to keep on top of color/a style that's lots of maintenance.

I would either perm it or do a funky color but you look beautiful either way!

Hey Alissa!

Haven't seen you in forever!!! We need to have a Girl's Night, even if it's not for a shower ;0)....

Anyway, as far as the hair goes. I think the red looks great on you as does the perm. I am not much of a risk taker when it comes to anything but a cute haircut. I am not good at the up keep and not a fan of the cost. That said, I admire risk takers....but also can totally relate to sticking with a really cute haircut.

Change, in any way...is fun!

Red low lites are a good option, because while it's fun, it's not much upkeep because as they fade out, you don't have to re-do it. A cute cut is great too, but could end up costing money if you like it enough to keep the cut.

i like all the options on you so it'll have to be whether you want to keep up with whatever you choose...

if i were you i would probably just get a cute haircut...do you still have bangs? if not you could have some cut cause you look good with those too!
