My hair is getting pretty long and I'm planning to cut it pretty soon, but I can't seem to find something edgy yet simple for me. Help!

Cindy,
Do your homework! Look at every magazine, movie and television show. Does anyone's look "speak" to you? Talk it over with your hairdresser and ask he or she thinks the look would be appropriate for you, your face shape, and hair texture.

Do not cut or color your hair until you are absolutely in love with your possible new look. Any ambivalence will lead to disappointment. Change for the sake of change rarely works.
