Which I hate, naturally. It's usually a hot mess. I pulled these pictures off my Facebook so they're not the best.. it just gives you an idea of where I've been, hair wise, and what I look like so you can all make a well informed opinion.  Right now it's in kind of a bob, with side bangs. I've always been a "bang" person because I have really light eyebrows and I think it looks weird not to have them. But, thought give it a try, and this is where I ended up. If I take the time to crunch and diffuse, it's really curly.. but I hate the way it looks like that. It's just the easiest, least struggle way to do it.  See? Awful. And my eyebrows don't even show up in pictures, they're that light! If I don't scrunch and try to blow dry and gasp! brush it, then it ends up kind of cotton candy like.  I tend to like shorter hair, something cropped and fun, but I'm always afraid my face will look fat. (No, honey, it's not your hair that makes your face look fat.. VISION makes your face look fat.   I've had it shorter, which makes it easier to blow dry straight.  Bad selfie, just to show off the hair when I had it cut. And this is the full me, when my hair was shorter..taken at work. Given the full view of me, try to picture it with big hair.  So there you have it. If ANYONE has ideas on what to do with it, do share. Right now it's up in a hair clip because it looked a mess, so I know it's time to change. |

You're adorable!  I have very similar hair! I also keep it shorter to blow out the curls. I put lots of product it in to protect it when I straighten it. Did you see the thread recently about the Pea with the really cute cut? I wish I could remember who it was! I'll see if I can find it. |

I love the red color and the short cut! Very cute. So that's my vote. |

I love the pic with the shorter darker hair! Easy fix for the brows, if you go darker, get a brow kit, with a good brush, and enhance your natural brows! It will make a HUGE difference!

I have no advise since I am in my own hair crisis right now. But I do like it in the pic where it's blowed out. I do have to laugh at the one of you and your son, my son has the same tshirt, always had headphones on his neck and wears a red sweatshirt A LOT!

Did you see the thread recently about the Pea with the really cute cut? I wish I could remember who it was! I'll see if I can find it. That was Patter! I LOVE her hair! Wish mine was thick enough to pull off that cut/style. My hair is SO thin...genetics and psoriasis of the scalp(scarring) that I can't do jack with it. I try to put it in a ponytail and it's like a baby's ponytail. Morellis Cupcake - I love your hair! I especially like the way you have it styled in the pic with the red top. |

I like your hair darker and straight. Makes you look younger (not saying your old!)

I like it curly! But I have really curly hair too. Find a stylist that is Deva trained and look at some curly hair pics on Pinterest. I found a cut there and my stylist did it for me. I love it!

I love your red hair pic, it looks lively and young on you. I have the same eyebrows, have you thought of coloring them in? you can have them dyed, or just take 1 min with a pencil or two in the morning. it's really not a big deal, especially as you get more practiced at it. for me it makes a huge difference!

I really like your hair in the second picture so I would do that. And I would probably use an eyebrow pencil on my eyebrows if I thought they were too light.

I could have written this post except my hair is long bc of the curl. Oh yeah short would make my fave look fat too.  |

I would just start coloring my eyebrows. There's been lots of threads on the topics of what products to use, so you could ask again here. Eyebrows really make a person's face.

I dye my brows, they have a lot of little gray hairs that pi** me off so I have my stylist dye my brows when she colors my hair, so they are same color.
I love your hair curly. I would get a bob kind of thing where it's really short in back and hugs your neck, maybe a inch up. Then taper sides to longer in front and just let it go curly. With it so short in back it will give you lift in front. Like a wedge. I'll see if I can find a pix.

I like the dark red straightened hair and I don't think it makes your face look chubby at all! Visit YouTube for eyebrow tutorials. I've started filling mine in and I like the way it frames the eyes. |

I like the third photo best but the top one is great too IMO. You look nice with it super straight and with it curly. Lucky!

Here's my non-professional opinion. You've gotten some bad cuts because you're going to stylists that don't know how to cut curly hair. The picture of you behind your son shows your hair layered but laying like a helmet.
Go to naturallycurly.com and find the place where they recommend curly stylists in your area. You'll get a better cut for sure.
and as a side note, you are 1000% prettier than I am. I don't mean to be snarky. I just think your hair could use a great curly cut.

I really like the curls in the first photo. Just add a bit of eyebrow color.

I like your natural waves/curl. I think it looks fine but if you want to find a good "curly hair stylist" like someone mentioned, go for it. Might just make it that much cuter!

You look lovely in all the pics, but I like the shorter, darker style best.

I think the naturally curly hair looks better on you, it's more youthful. Not a fan of the short red cut.

I like the first photo, but I may be biased because I have curly hair. You just need to colour your eyebrows. You can do it yourself or go to a salon (I actually go to the Benefit Brow Bar). Another thing, blow-drying and straightening will kill fine, curly hair and lead to lots of split ends and then a shorter cut. Ask me how I know!

I LOVE your natural hair!! Curls and colour. You are gorgeous! Why do all you girls who have naturally curly hair not like it? I would still get a perm, for crying out loud, if my hairdresser would let me LOL!
