I want a makeover.....

**Kris1RN** · April 24th, 2004, 03:48 PM

Help me find a new hairstyle that will look good on me. I am a nurse so I would love to find a style that would get me out of wearing a ponytail all the time. Wearing it up all the time gives me a headache plus it breaks my hair off. I only have one pic on here that shows my face ok but it is a bad pic. I will try to post a better pic soon. I would really appreciate your help........come on Bethany I know you can tell me what I should do to my hair!!!

**Amy T** · April 24th, 2004, 03:55 PM

OOOOOOH... Im not any kind of Bethany Rocks hairstylist... but I would do bangs, and layer it... maybe flip it out or something.. or do a blunt cut.. Bethany could better describe anything Ive just said...

**Ph@t** · April 24th, 2004, 04:13 PM

I think this would look good on you..

**DanaM** · April 24th, 2004, 04:15 PM

I agree with Phat, but with a little shag at the ends. (NoT bob)

**Ph@t** · April 24th, 2004, 04:15 PM

Oh, and maybe even get some color put on it either to brighten up that pretty red you've got, or some subtle highlights. Or even a shade darker... maybe auburn.

**Kris1RN** · April 24th, 2004, 04:31 PM

I love all the ideas so far...I had it highlighted last year and got lots of compliments on it. I hope I get more responses with more pics to compare and choose from.

**Gelibean** · April 24th, 2004, 07:07 PM

I like these and it would look great with your facial features!

**Longing2Bthin** · April 24th, 2004, 08:03 PM

one of my fave styles is a stacked swing bob.....stack the back so you have the layered look to add volume and to get rid of the ponytail then add the swing on the sides....to give you enough hair on the sides to pull back behind your ears for work and to give you more styling capabilities when you are out on the town. I also like to criss cross the part to get rid of the same ole part and it helps disguise new growth when you are too busy to get to the salon to get your highlights retouched. with stacking the back it also gives you the option of doing a "I just rolled my *** outta bed look"

color...chuck highlihgts...I would go with a base color of a deeper red like the one in the picture phat posted and then add large chunks of blonde. When I do this to my hair I use Bodacious Burgandy and Blonde...but I change my hair all the time lol

**Determined1-- derland here I come** · April 25th, 2004, 05:45 AM

I wouldn't cut as short as the picture that Phat put on however I do like the style and I am with Dana, shag the ends and a little highlights....

When you do please post so we can see!!!

**Kris1RN** · April 25th, 2004, 10:11 AM

Thank you all for the suggestions!! I know I am going to get it highlighted but still not sure about the cut. I love your ideas though. If anyone else has any pics for me to go by that will fit my features, I would love to see them. I will post pics when I get it done. I can't wait.

**Determined1-- derland here I come** · April 25th, 2004, 05:17 PM

Maybe go to the store and browse through the hairstyle magazines

**Kris1RN** · April 25th, 2004, 05:29 PM

I did tonight. I saw a couple that I liked. I am off Thurs. so I am going to try to get it done then.

**Longing2Bthin** · April 26th, 2004, 04:00 AM

here is a stacked bob with the swing the bangs would be longer in the front then is blended to the back.

**runs with scissors** · April 26th, 2004, 04:09 AM

A lot of really great ideas, but I must say I'm anti-bob of ANY kind for you, Kris. You've got a full face still and until the weight comes off the bob isn't going to help.

**missus** · April 26th, 2004, 04:18 AM

Right on Porcelain. I just finished reading redbook which described faces and best styles. Had to go back and forth on Kris' face, and it looks like her hair could be thin for a bob. I like the one WEEDEATER and Longing hadf for your face and body type. Either way, you have great features and most any style will look good on you. Good luck girl, can't wait to see the pic.

Bethany, who is the man in uniform hanging on your signature?

GO FOR IT GIRL!! I did this in January and was the best thing I ever did.

Go into your salon and look through the books, talk with someone tell them what youd like. They will look at your hair type and texture and give you some ideas. They can also show you color swatches for highlights and such that you could go with. Most places do this for free and it gives you chance to get to know the girls there and see who youd like to do your hair and you feel comfortable with.

They was scrappin over who was gonna cut my hair when I went in. lol My style actually came from about 3 different pics.

Good luck, and we want pics ASAP!!!!!

**Longing2Bthin** · April 26th, 2004, 04:59 AM

I used to think the same way.....I said no way would I have any kind of short style with my full face but surprizingly it looked better short than it did long.

as far as the thin.....I have BABY fine very thin hair as long as I damage it I can get it to do anything lol its all in styling.....a little product and blow drying it the right way and voila volume

I am trying to locate a pic of me with my bob but the only one I can find I scanned last night...its black and white (its an ad when we first opened our shop) to begin with and my scanner scans things kinda dark so its wayyyyyyyy dark.

**runs with scissors** · April 26th, 2004, 05:04 AM

I don't think Kris's hair is thin. Kris?

**runs with scissors** · April 26th, 2004, 05:06 AM

Missus: that is my brother, Jason. He's on the USS McInerney out of Jacksonville.

**Longing2Bthin** · April 26th, 2004, 05:11 AM

now I can see your pic it was an x

that sky and water is gorgeous bless your brothers heart I cant even imagine how hard it would be to leave your family and be gone for so long

**DanaM** · April 26th, 2004, 05:12 AM

look at the tony and guy website. I had hair down to my butt and I did a shoulder shag that is shorter in the back longer in the front and I love it. I also had highlights. I am also NO BOB. My daughter went to tony & guy website and found a picture we took it in there and they cut her hair exactly like it.

Keep us posted, highlights are a must.

**missus** · April 26th, 2004, 05:13 AM

Bethany, he is quite handsome. What are you up to today?

Missus

BE BLESSED

**Kris1RN** · April 26th, 2004, 05:18 AM

Nope my hair is thick. I had my hubby take a couple of pics last night but I have to find the memory card reader before I can post them. My friend fussed about the pic I posted saying that she thought my face had changed alot since then, so maybe I can get a new one posted before I have to leave for work.

**runs with scissors** · April 26th, 2004, 05:22 AM

Thought so.

Yeah, get that new picture up!! How can we make such a life altering decision for you like changing your hairstyle if we've only got an OLD pic to go on! If you were 215 in that pic and you're 154 now you must look completely different.

**Kris1RN** · April 26th, 2004, 08:52 PM

Ok I hope I have this figured out...I tried mypicgallery and couldn't get it to work so hopefully this one will It shows before at 215, during at around 180+ and now

Link to all three pics http://community.webshots.com/user/kris1rn

**BigD** · April 26th, 2004, 09:07 PM

Kris, you look WONDERFUL! Holy SH*T What a difference!!!!!!!!!!! You go girl!

**Kris1RN** · April 27th, 2004, 02:53 AM

Thanks alot BigD! I still would like to lose about 20lbs. I feel so much better now that I have lost the weight.

**Ph@t** · April 27th, 2004, 03:24 AM

Yes you DO! Wow!! Look how flat that tummy is! Your face is SO thin! I'm very proud of you girl! You're beautiful! Did you ever get your hair cut?

**CindyLR70** · April 27th, 2004, 03:30 AM

I want a makeover too! My hair is long-to the middle of my back-I dont really want to lose any length-but need something! I know I am doing highlights-my hair is a darker blonde-any suggestions on the haircut??? sorry to take your idea-but this has been on my mind sometime also! Cindy

**Eva got-a-big-ole-butt** · April 27th, 2004, 03:43 AM

Kris - there is a software program called Cosmo's Virtual Makeover where you can take a digital pic of yourself & alter it with different hairstyles & colors (I got a copy at Staples for $10.00)

It's kinda fun! Give it a try.

**Kris1RN** · April 27th, 2004, 03:49 AM

Thanks phat!!! I haven't got it cut yet. I have to work 11:30am-10pm today and tomorrow. I hope to do it Thursday if nothing happens. So, now that you have seen an updated pic, what do you think about the cut I should get??

Cindy, post an updated pic for us!!

**runs with scissors** · April 27th, 2004, 04:01 AM

Wow, Kris. Do whatever you want with that hair, just make sure it's sassy.

**Ph@t** · April 27th, 2004, 04:02 AM

Kris- Now I'm thinking a med-long layered look would look GREAT on you! All you'd have to do is get it layered like the below picture. Try to find some of these rollers called Big Curls.. they used to sell them at wal mart but I can't find them anymore. However, the DO have them on ebay! They rock for layered hair, I'm tellin' you! So then each morning just wash it, blow dry straight and put in these curlers and you'll have fabulous hair all day!! I'm also thinking you need some highlights or hair color. I think I'd even go a shade or two darker w/ some reddish highlights!

**Ph@t** · April 27th, 2004, 04:07 AM

Ok, maybe something like this!!

**Kris1RN** · April 27th, 2004, 05:33 AM

I like Alicia's style but I want mine shorter so that I don't have to wear it up at work. I am still searching the web trying to find something LOL....guess I had better get ready for work....I will check back in when I get off tonight!!
