My hair is seriously, to my butt. Like, the bottom of my butt. I haven't had a haircut in a year and my hair grows like crazy. I am desperate to get it cut, but I'm not sure what I should get?
Okay, my hair is super thick. It's rather wavy and overall, really beautiful. I would hate to chop it off, so I want something a little bit past my elbows. Here are some crappy phone pics so you can see my color (auburn & gold - never dyed):

Some people must think I'm crazy to keep my hair this long, but the thing is: no one knows it's long! I wear it in a huge messy-bun thing that looks like I have short hair, see here:

I donated a good 12 inches to locks of love when I was 11 years old - so I'd definitely do that again ;)

Maybe something to play up the curls? from the first images, it looks like there is some natural wave -- you could play that up.
Try some retro looks, maybe 40's 50's waves around the front, with a modern dash, of course.
Maybe no bangs, but chin lenght "bangs" around the front to frame your face.
My hair is thick as well, and layers work (not super extreme layer)
Just don't go Mullet!

Wow you sure do have a Lot of beautiful hair..lucky you....
Do you know about the children who have cancer...women cut their hair and the cancer organization take it and make wigs for these kids who have lost their hair from taking cancer therapy. Since your hair grows so fast you could make some child very very happy or even two....I just thought I'd mention it if you didn't know about it....
but to answer your question I don't know your lifestyle like do you have much time to work on your hair....and your age.....but my thoughts were to cut it shoulder length...and have it cut with soft layers around your face...if you didn't like it "it will surely grow back fast".....Best of luck in your decision what to do with it....have a happy Hair day! Hair today gone tomorrow! LOL

Whatever you do, please have at least 10 inches of healthy hair donated to Locks of Love. You can go to the Locks of Love website to see if there is a salon in your area that works with L.O.Love by cutting & styling for free. (Well, not free......your donation of hair is payment!)
Thanks

go to a good salon, and have them suggest a good cut and shape for you, they are paid to know what looks best with your face shape and the texture of your hair.
