CHANGE YO

 Should I become a redhead with bangs?

What sort of bangs?  Generic indie girl bangs?  Feist bangs?  Kari Byron from Mythbusters bangs?  Keep in mind my hair is really thick and kind of wavy.

What sort of redhead?  Copper?  Burgundy?  I won't bleach my hair.  I'm leaning toward burgundy.

BAH! At the risk of being knifed in a dark alley by several excellent redheads who may read this, red hair is overrated ( ... )

Oh, also, I'm not sure about bangs... you have a nice forehead, better to show it off! Layers, maybe?

As someone who has recently made a (subtle) reddish-leaning hair change and now has to deal with the Roots Problem, I also recommend reddish streaks/highlights rather than all red. And yes, also the eyebrow problem. And you know that idea that anything will wash out if it's not bleached? LIES. My reddish hair that just keeps getting lighter and lighter (argh) says different.

If you go for bangs, definitely go for longer ones that you can kinda blowdry off to one side. Except the problem is that you don't blowdry your hair and it's kind of wavy, so bangs miiiiight not be the best idea for you. I recommend layers! Mad layers. With red highlights.

I also have a red wig (see icon). You can try it on if you want to see how you might look with red hair. Or, if you're getting the Red Hair itch, you can wear it around at parties. It's worked well for me. :-)

This. Beautiful multi-tonal streaks of various widths and shades of red, and delicate, calculated layers which make your hair wander around and flirt with passerby by itself.
