Desperately in need of a new hair style. Or just a hair style, period (because I have none!)

I have wavy, fine, thick hair (head full of hair, but the individuals hairs are kind of fine). Dark brown, currently about 6" past my shoulders when combed straight and wet.
I need something simple, yet long enough to tie up when I workout. My hair is a wavy, disastrous, often matted mess right now. Please help! |

OP here. This is close to what my hair is like right now, without the layers. Similar texture, amount of waves, etc, but no styling whatsoever. Just long and wavy with dried out ends. I could seriously use some visual suggestions.

Op I have curly/wavy, fine hair as well, and a ton of it. I keep it about shoulder length in long layers. If it gets too long, since its fine, it just gets really limp and stringy looking. The ends maintain some wave but the hair on the crown of my head is flat and lifeless.
For styling, I use a lightweight curl activating spray called Snapp by Biogenol, mixed with a bit of Keratin cream to control frizz, and I let it air dry most of the way and hit it with a diffuser. On days I want it less curly, more wavy, I blow it out a bit and use a hot air curling brush for the ends. |

I have exactly this hair. Of course, I just cut it off in a crop and love it! But, I would suggest a bob somewhere between your chin and your shoulders, with lots of layering at the ends. |

I have similar hair, too. Why not get the style in that photo you posted? It's adorable - and also looks really easy to maintain.
On a separate note - I recently got myself a flat iron from the drug store, and have been using it from time to time. It makes a WORLD of difference. My hair actually looks like it's got a style on the days I use it! (So why not use it all the time, you ask? That is a good question.) |

| 10:10 again - I would not recommend getting shoulder length hair. My hair frizzes up into a big fugly poofball when it's shorter than a few inches past my shoulders. I suspect yours would do the same, since it sounds like we have the same hair. Long layers are a godsend. |

I have the same type of hair. A hair cutting trick is to ask them to use shearing scissors a couple inches from the scalp to take some weight out. Only let a stylist do it that knows what you are talking about. Done wrong and you will end up with hair thinned out or short pieces that stick up off your scalp through your hair.
Embrace your waves since that will add volume without needing more products to weight it down. I have NEVER EVER found a conditioner (using less than dime size on the ends), even tried washing out a leave-in one, that doesn't weigh my hair down. Every hairdresser tries to suggest it, but NONE have ever worked. |

If you're daring, go for what I did last year. Went from long hair to this, life changer!
