...before I do something drastic that's going to look awful.
Basically, my hair needs sorting out. Majorly sorting out. Currently it's about shoulder length, and I like the cut. But there are issues with colour. I dyed it red about a year ago, and kept dying it red. The last time I dyed it was about September I think. Now, when the roots came through, I decided I wanted to go back to my natural colour, but to do this, my wonderful parent said I needed to go really dark to cover the red. So I dyed it what was supposed to be dark brown. It wasn't. Then I tried again, with similar success. So now I have red hair up to about half way up, then the (really not very dark - I'd go with slightly darker than my natural light brown/dirty blonde) brown dye, and then my natural hair for about the last half-inch. Except now it's starting to go green. Not my natural hair, but the dye. And green is not a good colour for me.
Now - my choices are:
1) Get it dyed properly so it's a) not green and b) covering the red.
2) Get it all cut off really short. REALLY short. Kind of like this or this.
3) All of the above.
I've attached a couple of pictures of me, so you can help me decide. I'd reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally appreciate your help 'cause I HAVEN'T GOT A FUCKING CLUE. Also, if you have any other styles you think would look good, that would be nice, too .

Or, go and speak to a hairdresser for their opinion.
Also, I wanna do something big and daring with my hair. I like it when people look shocked when I do something . Kinda like the first time I dyed it red.
Claire - my mum said that. I'm gonna go to the hairdresser tomorrow on my way to work and ask for a consultation :yes:.
on the colour front, consider going to the hairdressers and getting your current colours stripped. if you carry on dying on top it'll just get more and more mental. if you can strip them out, and dye it back to your natural colour, you can give it a much-needed rest.
my hair will always need them to look good. :grump:
my friend said i look like a lion before i straighten my hair.
Oh, and from one who keeps trying, growing it out is quite hard 'cos it looks shit in the process.
