Hair/Mop/’Cousin It’

I have thick, curly (when shorter layers it is more noticeable) to wavy (when longer the weight pulls it out), graying brown  LOTS of hair.  My bangs are growing out too.

I have a hair appt this Saturday.  Color (thank goodness, seriously, I got out of the shower one day this week and thought “I’m graying overnight now”), eyebrows (just think fuzzy catepillars) and hair cut.  Yes, CUT not just trimmed this time.  I like the fact that I have thick hair (on most days), I like the fact that I can wear it curly or straight (if I take the time to straighten it).  I have been growing it out for a while, I like playing with hair so I’m fine with it being longer.  I look good in short hair but I can’t have it too short anymore b/c my neck is too long and skinny (think giraffe).  But short hair means that I don’t get to play with it much, it means getting it wet every morning because of bed head.

So I’m looking for something blunt and choppy now.  Any suggestions?

I have looked at a few sites and I just feel like I know what I want but it still won’t end up looking the way I want it too.

Here is what I have so far:  Granted I know this is a famous person, but I was looking at hairstyles and I was thinking of people that I knew (of) that had the kind of cut I’m looking for.

another great look

love the length and smoothness

another choppy look

UPDATE:

Okay, so I was gonna post this last week (before I said screw it) and I got a phone call that I wasn’t getting my hair cut or colored.  So I colored it myself and it still isn’t cut yet.  And I plucked the damn caterpillars.

Any suggestions, ideas, other haircuts that you think would work?  (I guess I should add that I have an oval face - I think)
