Question by Brooke Carroll: Any advice on which haircut I should get?
I’m 15 years old and in desperate need of a haircut. I’ll include a picture of myself in a bit so you can see, but I currently have long, thick hair with some grown out layers in it. My hair currently goes down to the middle of my back at my longest layer, and then my next major layer would be around my shoulders. I was going to do a basic side parted haircut (all one length) with side bangs and then let that grow out long, but I think that might end up being too boring and poofy, since my hair is pretty thick. I’ve been looking around at celebrity haircuts, especially Selena Gomez, for some inspiration. I will include some of those links as well to get your advice.
Here are several pictures of me:

So I tried to give you pictures so you could fully see my hair and my face… I’ve got a long-ish face and an average nose I guess. I have hazel eyes. As you can see, my hair is an average brown, and I was thinking of dying it a darker brown. My eyebrows are thicker and are almost black, so I was thinking getting something closer to that… Here are some of the pictures I was looking at:

http://images.beautifulhairstyles.com/teen/pictures/040127lyndsyfonseca.jpg – cut and maybe that color, maybe a little darker. Plus side bangs…

http://img.becomegorgeous.com/users_answers/jwlover4ev/54819.jpg – I love this cut, not the color though. My mom wants me to go blond for some reason, but I have super dark eyebrows
I like Selena’s bob, but I don’t know how good it would look on me…
I also love Miley Cyrus’ hair, but I’d need to get extensions which I don’t want to do. But any pictures on cut/color or explainations would be VERY much appreciated. I have a lot of dead ends right now, so there is less to work with… My friends say they like my hair long, but it takes really long to straighten/curl. Also, if you have any suggestions towards making my hair wavy (using a process at the salon, I mean) that would also be very much appreciated.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

it depends on your face shape….if you have a larger round head, you shouldn’t get a bob haircut. if you have a smaller oval shape, its ok to get a bob haircut. for a larger round head, i personally think you should get about a bra strap length. sort of a heart shaped head? get maybe a trim if u have longer hair. if u want like an actual haircut then go with a little below the shoulder. square shape? mid-arm to shoulder… really its your opinion..i personally just had the same problem..i have a larger round head and got it a little shorter than the bra strap and i love it! but i think you should try on some wigs if not just think about you and your personality and get a haircut you like..and maybe try some highlights…to “spoof” it up. ~hope this helps
