10/25 ETA: Scroll down the thread-- I've added some haircuts I love and am considering in one of my replies below.

It's time to get out of my hair rut. For the past year and a half or so, I've just let my hair grow. I remodeled my kitchen and I skimped in this area to put more money toward that. Big bad confession-- I haven't even had a haircut since December and I know it shows. Resolution: I will get a haircut soon!

Considerations:

  • I have naturally wavy/curly hair. When my hair is short enough, adequately layered, and if the weather cooperates, my hair can be quite curly. Messy waves are more common.
  • I have been wearing my hair in a bob for most of the past decade and I'm tired of that look. This is in part why my hair is long now.
  • I don't spend much time on my hair and I doubt that will change.
  • Ideally I would go about 2 months between hair cuts.
  • I've always found short hair attractive.
  • If I'm wearing my hair wavy/curly, my hair looks so much better when I let it air dry instead of blow drying. But if I do this, reality means I show up at work with wet/damp hair. Not a huge issue but it doesn't feel super professional.
  • I have acne scars on both sides of my face and it is nice to be able to hide them behind my hair somewhat as I feel self-conscious about them.
  • A longer style is still an option but I am seriously considering going shorter.

Photographic Evidence:

  • Photos 1-5: A variety of photos from my bob days. These span the past decade, some some are quite old but they give you the idea.
  • Photo 6: I had a pixie cut for much of the decade preceding the bob and I love this photo from the admittedly awkward growing-out stage (see next photo to show how awkward that stage can get).
  • Photo 7: Embarrassing 8th Grade Photo Alert!!! Included to illustrate the wings that form if my hair is a certain length. Need to avoid this look. Fly away, hair wings-- Fly away!
  • Photo 8: My hair this past weekend.

Inspiration:
In part because I have a lot of photos here already and in part because I have no clue which direction I want to head, I'll include a link to the Pinterest board I'm using to collect inspiration photos. http://www.pinterest.com/vinta.....onderings/

I would love your thoughts on any of this!!
