I think I'll keep the length for now - just get long layers and take out some bulk on top.
I'm going to consult with her (a new person) about color. I would love to go darker, but with the grey coming in every three weeks, that wouldn't work. I'm going to ask her opinion on going more golden v. staying a bit on the red side.
Half of me would like a really dark, short curly bob, but I know that would be a PITA to keep up the roots. Maybe it's time to go blonde.
