    Dizzy I need a new hairstyle...please help me!!!

    Okay, I just made an appointment to get my hair cut. I havnt been to the salon in....yeeears! I relax and trim it myself, and 90% of the time I just wash my hair and pin it up and back. If Im going out I do the exact same style...pinned up on sone side, bangs and a bump on the bottom. This has been my routine (if ya wanna call it one) for 3 years now. When I want to look South Beach hot and going out, I throw on my lacefront, but to be honest...Im kind of tired of doing that and really just want to save the wig for when Im at work.

    Anyway, heres my problem...I SUCK at finding hairstyles for myself. In the past (and even when I first started buying my lacefronts) I always seem to get the most possible conservative old looking style that ages me like 10 years. Whenever Ive brought in a pic of something I want, thinking omg that looks so cute, Im gonna look so cute! They give me exactly what I want and I look dumpy.

    So yeah...Im turning to you all for help, cause I want to look hot not....middle aged mom like I tend to lean towards. To help, heres a pic of me, I blurred out my face, but yeah...theres the length of my hair for you to take a look see. I prefer nothing that sweeps over my eyes like those side bangs, though they look great, I know me, and Ill end up getting annoyed with it and pinning it up and then Ill end up pinning my hair up like I do now anyway...unless Im being really lame and yall can tell me that, Ill sacrifce being annoyed for looking amazing Im up for edgy, Im up for going shorter or whatever...just hot and need some ideas!!! Please please please and Thanks!!

    What about an edgier version of what you basically have?
    Something a little more like:


    Idk. I find that curling the ends under on the length of hair you have currently is what makes that sort of cut look conservative/soccer mom-ish... so I'd think that just styling it differently would make a bigger difference than anything.

    Yeah you're probably right...come to think of it I almost always go for something with the ends curled under...hrmmmm....
    My hair has *NO* shape to it at all right now, cause I just do the twist and trim thing so thats why I try to curl it into some shape, and definitely need a style.
    but that is a good idea to try and go for a straight look....

    Do you have any salons in your area that are experienced with black hair? If you go to a stylist who has no experience with ethnic hair you are going to screw your hair up. I would say you need a shine ( paul mitchell shine), some deep conditioning and a bomb flat iron, a good trim not a bunch of layers. I know you said no bangs but I'm still loving this look.

    There's no chance you'd want to do micro-braid for a little while and then go edgy short would you?

    I love fake real hair, but my hair is already pretty long. I want to go super short like I used to be, but
    I only think super short hair looks really hot on really skinny women-- so we'll see what happens when I lose
    weight.

    also, how edgy do you want to get?


    and, the shorter you go, you have to really get some good product and be cool with using it fairly regularly unlike with longer hair:


    how about longer and edgy but maybe not shaved as cleanly as this one:




    sorry if these weren't what you're looking for. I'm all about the faux-hawk.

    Oh I have been all over Rhiannas photos lol! I really like her cuts, but I cant trust my judgement! That one does look cute too...

    Yes, this salon specializes in black hair...got a recommendation for them and have read lots of good reviews. Interestingly, the hardest part wasnt finding a black salon, but one that doesnt specialize in natural hair, all the good places seemed to only want to do natural hair, and I know me walking in there going, okay I wanna relaxer woudl have them trying to convert me. Not interested..did natural for 6 years already, it was fun, those times are over now

    The first one is too edgy lol! I *really* like the second one, its really soft and feminine too, but Im so tall, Im afraid of more height to add to me, but I do like that, hrmm... I dont want to do braids, Ive already done that, and also a weave, and the hardest part for me was not being able to touch my scalp when washing my hair. Plus I kind of just want to rock my own hair for awhile, Ive been covering or adding to it for so long now...

    I dont mind learning how to properly style my hair with products and stuff too...Now that I can afford it, I also plan to go to to the stylist once a week for a wash, to make sure I keep my hair and style looking good, and also so that I dont let my look slide away.

    I think you should just grow your hair a little bit (me personally a lot) longer before considering to cut/style it.

    I think you would look great with a Tyra Bank, wig.

    I second CupCake's suggestion, that cut is just tooo cute and I think it'd be hot without being too much of a huge difference from where you are now (I don't know about you but I had making giant changes on my hair in case it doesn't look right when it's done)

    Oh I love Marylin... but too much curl and I end up looking like James Browns little sister. Not cute...

    Ive been wigging it out for about a year now, before that weaving it out...and I did braids for awhile. Truly do want to do a style with my own hair right now...even with not doing anything to it, its still kind of damaged, and I think I just need to leave my hair in the hands of a pro to get it healthy again. But yeah, do want to get a cut, which I can then grow out and keep up with styling as it grows.

    Im really kind of liking that soft faux hawk one Fiendish posted...I could rock it out when I want, or style it down. The more I look at the Rhianna one though, the more I think that it will look super conservative on my already super conservative looking self. But I do like the idea of keeping it straight and not curling up like I tend to. I guess Im just looking for something anything like what Ive already done before lol

    LoL yeah, I keep going back and forth, and one thing I liked about this one is its simplicity... but so afraid that Im not going to make it look as cute as Rhianna does. I dont mind doing major changes...Ive shaved my head, gone from short to long with weave, had horrible haircuts/bad dye jobs (mostly done to myself) I dont mind really, its hair and it always grows back.

    The only time I ever cried is when I got my hair cut, and it looked like she put a bowl on my head and cut any hair left showing. I looked HORRIBLE and to add insult to injury, I had to take my military dependents id picture the next day, so I carried that god awful pic around with me for years. I think I cried for a week before I figured out how to do something with it...lol

    I really like your new hairdo as well!! i'm also in love with that rihanna style up above, i change my hair alot! i will go from short to long, to curly to wavy, and so on. Of course i'm black as well and i used to have really long hair but i found it hard to manage and i thought weave looked better anyways so i used to just leave a little bit of hair out at the top and get the rest braided and sewed in, if you ever want any length you could sew a couple of extensions in the back and try curling it. BIG CURLS ARE SO FREAKING SEXY!!

    Awe thanks! Yeah, the longest Ive grown my hair is to my shoulders, but then I got divorced and cut my hair super short, then a few months later shaved it really low cause I wanted to go all natural...but loved it and kept it shaved for like 6 years but played with colour ..I looked so fierce lol!

    Right now my hair is actually in layers, not on purpose but cause of breakage. At first she said she couldnt do the style I wanted, then she decided since I want to grow it out, and I pinky swear promised Id come back for treatments and stuff lol that she would just trim as needed til my hair is all the same length and then grow it out from there. I know long hair is a pain to manage, but...I havnt done it before and yeah, would love to do the long hair big curls thing... Well, I do it with my lace front But with my own hair would be awesome.

    Awe thanks! Now to figure out what to do for colour when I go back in!! What you see there is my natural hair colour, Ive tried going black cause I love that dark black glossy look for hair, but it makes me look....incredibly gross. I dont know, it just makes me look awful. But the dark brown on me I think is boring...I just use the root touch up to cover the grays on my roots lately, but would like a nice overall different look.

    Yeah, I wanna look different, all around just different Im even buying new makeup and playing with new looks. I think Im going through an early midlife crisis or something!

    I think its so weird that people say the darker your hair the darker your hair should be but with so many black people black hair can look really off. For me every shade of black mutes all my features and I constantly get told my skin looks darker or people point out facial flaws more.

    Why don't you try some highlights I just went from red to a medium brown and I added some highlights which gave it a completely new dimension and keep getting told how nice my skin looks and how young I look.

    What are you thinking of doing with your makeup?
