Hair styling help?

Hi, I'm a 13 year old girl. can anyone help me decide how i should style/design/cut my hair? I was thinking of going to Hair Cuttery [never been there before] and getting my hair thinned out. But i was wondering what else i could to? like, maybe get more bangs or make them side bangs? Also, I have never been to Hair Cuttery before so I'm hoping for some tips or advice from personal experience.

Hair description:

-"front" bangs [they were my mom's idea... urgh]

-dark brown/black

-thick

-wavy

-a bit poofy and frizzy

-shoulder length

Btw, I like to straighten my hair and its not alway easy %26amp; takes about a good 45 minutes. would thinning it out help? and would it look better? or do i just need a better straightener? Also, my face is not exactly round. I guess its in between oval and what you would call oblong? I don't know if that helps, but no mean answers please :)

Thanks for all the help!

thin hair is always easyer than thick

For thick, wavy, medium length hair I would suggest getting it layered and "feathering" the front. I never suggest thinning because the "scissors" used damage the hair and cause split ends. If you have a thin oval face I would not suggest bangs unless they are side bags. Bangs look better on "round" faces. A layered cut is very easy to style. When you get out of the shower blow dry in a downward motion then simply use a large curling iron to flip layers out or under.

I have similar hair. And by the way, I have had front bangs and I have almost the exact same hair type as you, only I am blondish brown. Having wavy, puffy hair is not a good idea with front bangs, which really looks best with naturally straight hair. Longer sideswept bangs look nice on just about everyone, and they can work with wavy hair a lot better (trust me, I know). I don't know how thinning it out would look, but I wanted to do it too to make it easier to straighten but my mom said it would be a mistake, but ask your hairstylist for some pictures before you thin it out. Some of my friends say that it's a good idea to get your hair thinned, but I don't know.

hello

i think it would be easier if you got it thinned out and side bangs. my friend has extremely thick hair that takes about an hour and a half to straighten, so she gets it thinned and it's easier to manage. plus you could just straighten your bangs and then not straighten your hair.

leave your hair length and get your bangs sideswept to keep you in style for the next 2 years (:

(dont forget the sidepart)

then use sunsilk frizz shampoo and conditioner (its a green bottle, you cant miss it)

use a light gel (i reccomend TRESemme Clean Hold Gel)

and dont worry, i;ve been there, your mom winds up giving you an awful haircut and you feel like you look awful. if you strut that hair like your tyra banks, you will look (and even feel) like a top model.. (:

No, you don't need an appointment at Hair Cuttery, but there's no telling how long you'll have to wait if you're a walk-in, so an appointment is a good idea. I know people like Hair Cuttery because of their prices, but I've found that the hair stylists aren't usually among the best around. I think I lot of new stylists go there to get some experience. They do have a lot of books on hair styles, though, so it might be worth going in and checking them out. See if you can find a model with a face shaped similar to yours and your type of hair to tell if it might be good for you. If you get a good stylist, he/she can make recommendations based on your face shape, your hair type, hair length, etc. Good luck... and remember, if you don't like how it turns out, you can change it.
