Ugh. My hair was looking so nice last summer, then I went and corn-rowed it for 3-weeks, thus resulting in severe damage that required a drastic chop last September. I still wanted to keep some length, so my hairdresser had to cut the back shorter, leaving the sides longer. It looked cute for about a month...
Since then, my hair has no shape and is just horrible looking. I'm quite ashamed of it, really. I can't do anything with it - it's still too short to pull back completely, and it just clumps when I comb it, because there is not enough weight to make it hang nicely.
So, I have a couple options - cut the sides to even it out with the shorter back, which will result in a flat bob ending right at my chin (so not flattering for my face), or maybe go back to my ol' wedge cut from '99, which will require me getting a loose perm again. With the latter, it would at least look decent while it grows back out and I can cut the perm off once it gets long enough. I'm not thrilled about having to perm it again, but I would prefer that over something flat and fattening.
Here's a shot of the ol' do from '99, which I know I've posted elsewhere before, but it applies to this case now:
Anyway, what do you all think? Any other suggestions?
Oh, and layers aren't much an option, because I had those back in the 80's and I hate 'em. But, I love long layers when my hair is longer. Sadly, it's just not long enough right now. But, if I do the wedge, I won't have bangs this time like in the photo - I'd leave those as long as the sides so they flow nicely.
