Wanting What We Can't Have

I have hilarious memories of an old roommate and I living together in LA doing our hair. She had super curly, thick hair.  I have super straight, fine, thin hair.  We stood in the bathroom with a ridiculous amount of hair product; her with a straitening iron; painstakingly trying to smooth out her curls and me, with velcro rollers, curling irons and a fine tooth comb teasing the heck out of it trying to get any amounts of volume that might hold for more than 10 minutes. 

I'm overdue for a haircut and have been think of ways to keep the length but get a little more oomph out of it.  I know I'm never going to have big, thick, curly hair (Taylor Swift, I envy you).  Perhaps a cross between these images?

  2. Ooh, so pretty!

    I also have super straight and fine hair, but mine is really thick which makes it super heavy. It's like the trifecta of "won't-hold-any-texture" hair. I definitely feel your pain!

  3. I always wanted curly hair too. For my TTD shoot last week, I got my hair to go really curly and even got it to stay. Nevermind the fact that it took an entire can of extreme hold hairspray. It was still awesome.

    I love that Olson twin's hair.

  4. Layers are a great way to add dimension! I have always had layers myself, hair just looks so much more interesting and fun than straight across one length!

  5. Layers for sure! I have the exact same problem with my hair.

  6. That is so true! Curly haired girls want straight hair and straight haired girls want curly hair! I have wavy hair and want straight hair! Good luck getting volume!

  12. Can't wait to see your new 'do!

    I think you would look great with a cut like the one in picture #3.
