Long red hair? need style ideas!!

Okay I have long red hair to my waist. Its pretty think. It not curly either, thank god. I just need some style ideas. I’ve cut it all off before but I looked horrid. Should I cut like 4 inches off and get layers or what? Or what’s some good styles? Any good websites? Thank you.

Answer #1

I have a friend who has thick red hair, almost to her waist, and just got a thick straight fringe/bang, long enough to reach her eyebrows and she looks amazing! She has the whole mysteriously-peeping-through-gorgeous-locks thing going on. It looks awesome up in a high ponytail or just loose.

Answer #2

A really nice length to try is a couple of inches past your shoulders ( like 3 to 5). You said thank God you don’t have curly hair, so I don’t reccommend getting layers. Layers actually encourage curl and volume in hair, so stick with hair thats all one length. Even though all one length hair is tamer than layered hair, it’s also very boring, so you should try getting some nice side-swept bangs. If your hair is thick, you shouldn’t have it really long, because even though it looks beautiful, it’ll feel heavy on your head, get knotty easily and there’ll be too much hair to actually do anything with.
