I gave my body a makeover, now what do I do with my hair?

I say a short layered look... very in right now

Omg you look amazing! SO inspirational! I would suggest a short bob hair cut, or maybe keeping long length, and doing side bangs and layers. I always find it helpful to bring in a pic.

First of all.... CONGRATULATIONS on losing over 100lbs!!! That is awesome and an inspiration!!

As for your hair... I'm no expert, but... maybe just start out small and a few inches cut off (a little longer than shoulder length) and some layers put in. That will give it a more defined style, and yet still be long enough to pull pack into a pony tail. Buy a few hairstyle magazines... there are tons out there.... and cut out some pictures of what you like (both style and color), and then talk with your stylist for their recommendation.

Good Luck... and post some pics after you get it done.

YAY for you!! As a naturally curly girl myself ( who fought my curls for YEARS), I am happy to tell you I have a fabulous solution! Have you ever heard of DevaCurl? It's a specific type of hair cut and product line. The creator, Lorraine Massey, is a curl-girl herself and preaches the curly life style.

First, you want a devacut. A Devacut is a special type of cut in which the stylist cuts your curls dry. That makes sense, right? Curly hair has a huge spring factor! Stylists that cut our hair wet have no idea what it's going to look like in the end. When they fix our hair and cut it dry, we know exactly what we're getting at exactly which length. The stylist will cut your curls one by one so that they lay appropriately.

Please, do yourself a huge favor and visit mydevacurl.com. They have a special place where you can look up a certified devastylist in your area. It's going to be a little pricey, but well worth it! I also use the product line. I went without it for a long time, and my hair looked good. Now, with the products, my hair looks its best ever! No more fighting it in the AM.

I was my hair once every 3 days. There's a routine you do the first morning that takes about 5 minutes post-shower + the amount of time it takes to defuse/let your hair air-dry.

Sorry this is so long. You'd think these people pay me, but unfortunately, they don't. From one curly-girl to another, do yourself a huge favor and find a devastylist. You will not regret it.

Message me if you want anymore details. If you do get a devacut, please post before and afters. I'm excited just thinking about how much you'll love your hair after! :-D

Congrats on your loss!!

I was thinking you could get something like a keratin treatment and it will be straight, lasts for months and very low maintaince.
Maybe a nice dark chestnut brown? or go even redder ?

i love the lenght but a trim might be good like choppy long layer through out.

Congrats again!

Please, do NOT get a keratin treatment. It's horrible for curly hair. Does it straighten for a little while? Yes. However, there are horrific pictures of it growing out. After the keratin treatment, your curls are completely dehydrated. Embrace the natural curl!

i love love love long hair... you would look fab with straight hair!

If you cut off 11in you can donate it to Locks of Love.

A cute little pixie cut would look great on you! I have always wanted one but not right for my face!

I agree with what most people are saying. Chop off a several inches so that it's chin length or a little longer. Don't know much about curly hair myself but completely agree with the girl that mentioned getting a dry cut. I have straight, thick hair and get a dry cut first too. It makes it so much easier to see what the end result is going to be without any surprises, specially when it comes to bangs...which I think you would look great with too. If you do decide for color, I think a richer red would look great on you (think Marcia Cross from Desperate Housewives). Congrats and enjoy the rest of your transformation!!

Either a really chic assymetrical bob (google!) that starts at your chin and then one side goes down a few inches....or, just chop off several inches and get layers and bangs.

Congrats on the weight loss! You look so amazing!

I'm another curly girl and my hair looks very much like yours only darker. Be VERY careful if you go for layers. I'm sure you know that the shorter it is, the curlier it is because of the spring factor. If you have several layers, your hair will look funny. Curly up towards your scalp and wavy down below. This I know from experience. I got a "nice" layered cut a few year back and it looked like I had pom-poms right about ear level because they were trying to frame my face.

wavy bob sounds cute...but if your afraid to go that short...I would say get it cut right above the shoulders

Bobs look good but are INCREDIBLY high maintenance.

I think you look great, and your hair is amazing - I'd make small changes to it to enhance its beauty without changing it drastically.

I am a hairstylist and also have curly hair. First of all what works for one person product wise doesn't work for everyone. I have to use a combination of products(Redken has a great curl line and I also love the Kenra products). As for a color I would add more red to what you have-a copper red- you could do all over or add a combo of hilights and lowlights using different levels of a copper red. The cut I would suggest between chin and shoulder length to camo the pointy chin and still show off your beautiful curls. Don't straighten your hair it will be a temporary fix and you will end up fighting it and missing your curl. Best of luck and congratulations-you are a beatiful girl and only need to accent that and not change it.:flowerforyou:

I LOVE your new 'do! It looks fantastic.
