Snip snip.

Hi my name is Claire and I'm in a hair rut.

For the past 3.5 years I've had the same hair cut, which I must admit I do love but I am also kind of ready for a change. Before that I had verrrry long hair (which I will never go back to) and after wanting to go Michelle Williams boy-short I decided I wasn't game enough yet and opted for the bob.

My hair is pretty easy to maintain. When I was younger I had very tight ringlets, which luckily for me, dropped out - but now my hair has a mean (not in a good way) kink to it. Unfortunately this isn't an effortless bed-head look... I find that I have to straighten my hair each time I wash it. Which is nearly every day. Boo.

Also, my hair in INSANELY thick. Actually, it's more that I just have a LOT of hair. My hairdresser always comments how much hair I have and is overwhelmed by the time it takes him just to thin it out to a normal thickness.

So... it's time for a change. I was throwing around the idea of growing it out but vetoed that idea for the following reasons:

  • I hate the in-between stage (which I'm very close to at the moment). This means my hair flicks out on my shoulders and only looks good pulled up or curled - and I can't be bothered to curl my hair each morning
  • every time I ask a group "long hair or short hair?" most girls agree on short hair but EVERY SINGLE GUY says long hair. Move on fellas - long hair went out as the norm a long time ago in the fashion world. What is it with guys and long hair? I personally would take short hair over long hair any day of the week (probably because I don't have the patience for dealing with incredibly long, incredibly thick hair)
  • see aforementioned. My hair is so thick it takes FOREVER to dry it and style it. Even after having it thinned.
Well at least it's settled. Short hair it is.

I also want to change my hair colour - I've only coloured my hair a handful of times and always opt for my natural dark brown colour.

The following photos are the kind of colours I'm after:

I do want to go a fair bit lighter, but I'll have to be careful as with my pale skin I don't want to look washed out...

The following photos are the style I will get cut, which is exactly what I have now anyway... I always like getting it cut that little bit shorter though as my hair grows so quickly.

I'm just putting it out there, Bingers has the greatest hair known to mankind.

Eventually, this is the hair style I will end up with:

If anyone has suggestions/great pictures of cuts or colours - let me know! I'll report in with a sneaky photo once I've got it done (prob not for a week or two).
