looking for a little style advice

[collwen]

I've been thinking of chaning my hair style. I know I want to keep it long, but here are a couple of things I've been thinking of-

A- When I get my hair trimmed the next time (which will be soon), get bangs again.
B- Getting a perm
C- Combine A & B

Unfortunatley, I don't know if I have any digital/scanned pics available of the last time my hair had either of these conditions applied to it.

Thoughts? Advice?

update I think this: http://pics.livejournal.com/collwen/pic/000291ya/g6 is a picture of me with my last perm, but the top of my hair is pulled back (because I didn't do bangs) with this holloween costume.

Hrmmm. I think maybe you should go with option A. I'm trying to picture you with a perm, and I can't really see it. You're hair is so fine that I'm not too sure how good it would look. Maybe if you do have pictures of the last time you had permed hair, I could put forward a better opinion.

I'll have to look for pics... I know there are some around I just may need to get them scanned. It's been a few years.

Okay, now that there's a picture to look at....bangs. Go for bangs. I think that straight hair suits you better, especially now that you've lost weight and it's thinned out you're face. Straight hair and bangs I think would just look better.

and I just found out from marnen that he thinks that bangs can be cute...

need to try them out I guess (I want to change something, you know?)

[auntiegrizelda.livejournal.com]

Well, I think bangs would be quite lovely you as well.

Says the blonde who wants a haircut to the brunette who dyes and on occasion, straightens her hair. :-p

bangs might be cute. i'm against perms.

[collwen.livejournal.com]

I don't get perms so much as a body wave (stronger than usual at first so it doesn't instantly go out).

Bangs would be cute... a perm might help give your hair a little volume if that's what you're looking for. I wouldn't go for curly with your hair. Do you know what kind of products your salon uses for perms? Some of the products out there now aren't as damaging as others.

usually I go for more of a wave than a curls perm (tighter at first, otherwise it goes away almost instantly). I've not had one since before I moved (so it's been over 3 years).

Well it seems that bangs is a fairly unanimous vote. :D Hee! I can see you with a pixie cut too, but if you're like most of us crazy SCA women, you'll want to keep your hair long. :D

(Me... I'd LOVE to be able to get away with a pixie cut, but my hair is too thick and wavy/curly and my face is too long for it to look anything by ridiculous!)

no pixie cut!

the last time I did that was 7 years ago, two days after my dad's funeral. It looked like hell (and not just because of working out the grief of his loss). It just didn't work for my face shape at all, which is still much the same, even with less fat on my body).
