I need a haircut. →[More:]
Anyone like suggesting styles?

I don't have an appointment or anything, but it's imminent because things are looking rough right now. My last haircut was in June (I think?) So the ends are rough, plus I'm growing out old dark colour that I need to keep trimming off.

Here's what I'm working with:

- I have long hair -- I guess below-brastrap in the back, with some long layers.

- Generally 'normal' hair, not particularly oily or dry, though I do tend to go a long time between haircuts for financial reasons, thus the ends do dry out.

- Medium brown, with scattered grey, which I sometimes colour with drugstore stuff. This doesn't seem to affect its health. My hair doesn't tend to hold on to colour super-well, which I have always assumed means it's reasonably healthy.

- Wavy, but straightens well by hairdryer and straightens more as the day progresses. Not easy to keep stick-straight, though -- usually there's at least a bit of curl at the ends.

- The texture is normal, I think, but I am always told I have "a lot of hair".

- When I get short layers they tend to pouf up or look mushroomy, so I always stick to long layers. This could be a styling problem though. I like layers in theory and even on other people but I have gotten the "shoulder shelf" cut many times by inept stylists. (This is when half of my hair is long enough to go behind my shoulders and the shorter front layers stay beside my head, making a weird two-length stepped look that really bugs me.)

- Humidity tends to make it curl up and get frizzy.

- I like low-maintenance. I've been drying my hair lately, but for much of my life I've gone to school/work with wet hair. I don't plan to go back to that, but I do like being able to put some stuff in it and zap it with a hairdryer and my hands and come out with something reasonably nice. I wouldn't be able to convince myself to use a curling implement or flatiron or anything like that on a regular basis.

- I currently have long, sideswept bangs, and I do like that look. For a long time I had blunt bangs (once nicknamed Winnie Cooper) and I've also had no bangs (I like the ease of this but I don't think it's flattering on me. Usually it happens when I get fed up with my bangs and decide to grow them out, only to be unhappy with the result.)

- My hair grows quickly. Definitely faster than average.

- I put my hair up and down through the day, and rarely keep it 100% one way or the other.

- I wash my hair daily right now, but have practiced the no-shampoo thing in the last few years, going up to two weeks without shampooing. Right now I'm finding that's not working for me, but I could eventually go back to it. When I don't shampoo I still shower and I almost always rinse my hair thoroughly. If I'm in a really *really* big rush I still shower (morning routine) but only shampoo/rinse my bangs, which is a decent compromise.

- Long hair is a comfort thing for me. The shortest I have had it in the last 25 years has been a collar-length bob, and that was 'short' to me. I tend to find longer hair sexy. This is not rational at all, but I am curvy (boobtacular and a tiny bit overweight) and I feel like I have a small head with small features, so having short hair makes me feel like my body is too big for my head. I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY CRAZY.

- My face-shape is roundish/ovalish, I think pretty neutral, but again, small, and my features are small.

- I tend to dress pretty casually and simply, and I'm not a cutting-edge fashionista. I don't have a lot of expensive stuff. I wear Chuck Taylors regularly but I also like skirts and dresses (with flats mostly). I wear hats in the winter.

I'll post a couple of haircuts I saw online that I like. I can take one of myself if it's necessary, though I'd rather not post my face all up in here. If you need more info just let me know.

All suggestions welcome! Thanking ye in advance.
