I need to do something with my hair. It sits about 1-inch below my shoulders and is utterly shapeless. The goal is to go longer, so I don't want to take much length off, just shape it up into something that makes sense. I keep thinking layering things up will do the trick, but I have this dreadful fear that I'll end up with the Jennifer Aniston haircut we all sported during the 90s. I've also been thinking about some sort of loose perm for months now, so maybe this would be the time to go for that. Anyway, since hairstyle brainstorming is something that should be shared with friends, I'm enlisting your help. Any suggestions, helpful pictures, etc. are encouraged. Thank you.
Oh, and for the record, I have longish bangs these days, which are pretty flexible (the standard in-the-face bang, the piece-y in-the-face bang, the sideswept band, the slicked back and not really there bang, etc...I kind of do them all), so those will need to be taken into consideration.

get the loose perm and tell me how it goes so i know if it is worth it.
So your advice is solely based on your own personal gain. Thanks, Mel.

You should totally ask whoorl.com about it on her Hair Thursday!
Go here: http://dyerites.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html I like the first one personally.
I've had a perm or two (or ten) in my life, and I've generally been very happy with them (except for the last one that I got the night before I moved into 328 with you... which was a disaster since I let me cousin do it and I had a total fro and ended up straightening it every day for the next two years--ick).
ANYWAY... I think a loose spiral perm would look good... although I'm not sure about how your bangs would look. But, if they are long enough it shouldn't be a prob.
Just a few words of advice... make sure to have a professional do it :) AND make sure they cut and layer it after they perm it. That cuts off the split ends the perm causes and you can make sure that they are layering it well. I think perms look best with LOTS of layers so that your face doesn't end up looking like a pyramid with the hair all frizzy and huge at the bottom.
If you do it... post a picture!!
Ha, so I've been pondering your hair dilemma, and got on today to add my limited two bits, and lo and behold, as suspected, lots of input! Anyways, my two bits. If you go for lots of layers, have them cut them with a razor and tell them to texturize it. I've been doing this since my hair freakishly went curly went I moved to Idaho and it keeps me from having triangle head when it's curly and it doesn't look so Jennifer Aniston, 90s, middle-school-flashback-y as when they scissor cut it. It's piecey-er, a little more jagged. And also, I think you would look awesome with the thick blunt bangs and waves of that cute girl in The Yes Man...let me go IMDB...Zooey Deschanel. Her http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0221046/ But that might be more effort/bang issue than you want to deal with. Bangs are such an issue for me.
You should try bald. HAWT.
