New hair?
Every so often I get to that point where my long long hair (30 inches of it) seems to feel messy, heavy, hard to brush and stick straight, common brown, very boring.
I'm going through thoose moments when you think it would be better to shave it all off. Maybe it would be better to plan for some kind of more thought out less drastic change than becomeing G.I. Jane.
When I mention changing my hair to friends or family, they all seem to develop this look of absolute horror on their face.I'm told I shouldn't change a thing. It's this reaction that backs me down from most attempts. I don't know if that is because they just can't see my hair any other way, or if changing what I've got is just a bad idea.
so here are my options
Cutting it - my long hair has kind of "grown on me" I'm not ready to cut it short, I've tried some layering before, I found it annoying that I couldn't tie it all back when I wanted to, short bangs are out of the question, my hair parts weird.
Dying it - thought of going red before, or putting highlights or lowlights in my hair, but the truth is the colour of my hair is my 2nd favorite part about it ( first is length)
Curling it - Probably my number 1 choice right now, likely a very loose wave just to add some texture and body to make me love wearing my hair not in some tight little bun to keep it out of my face
BUT when I was a kid I had some very scary perms that scare me away from that process.
I Cant belive my mother let me have a burnt hair mullet. :)Leaving it - Keeping it the same, and let it keep on growing and getting my hair cuts 3 times a year just to trim the bottom, at these times even hair dressers tell me they wouldn't change it. They call my hair "virgin hair"* There are very few hair dressers that will be ok in making a drastic change in "virgin hair" because they say their clients are almost never happy with the change.
Will I be bold and take a chance at changing my hair?
Or will I keep the same style I have had for 10 years? ( Or more)
* hair that is long that has not been chemically treated in 7 - 10 years.

I know you said you weren't crazy about cutting it, but have you ever thought of cutting it to donate to Locks of Love or a charity of a similar nature?
I say cut it. I love your hair. It's gorgeous, but I am all too familliar with the ho-humness of having long brown hair. I think it weighs us down and affects the functioning of our brain or something.
I got my hair cut recently, I don't remember, have I seen you since then? Anyway, I have a "natural wave" in my hair that makes it a bit poofy when it's short. I like it, but the downside is it makes me look at least 50% more like my mother.
I know if I cut my hair I will donate it. this IS the time of year that the volunteer "Head hunters" start scowering the malls, they always find me and start touching my hair before they even say hi!They even get this mezmorized look and talk in some sort of drone voice while they ask me to donate, It's a little creepy, but trust me, these organizations make themselves known to people with long hair like mine :)
My brother-in-law has hair exactly like your burnt hair mullet...well, except that his is grey.
