Hey I have pretty long, dark hair (more than halfway down my back) and I wanna get a stylish, edgy haircut without cutting very much length off. I also kinda wanna change the color a little bit without frying my hair. Does anyone have any ideas? Anything will help. Thanks

I wouldn't cut it very much. I have about the same length as you and my hair is black, dark like yours. I have it layered and the top layer comes about to my upper back-about 2 or 3 inched below my shoulders. I wouldn't do much higher than this or it will always get in your face and be harder to put up in a pony tail w/out some strains falling down. So I would layer it, that will give it body. As for the color: I think black is a pretty color, but if you think it will not suit you then I would put caramel highlights in it. It shouldn't fry it if your hair is all natural. Just don't dye or perm over top of the highlights.

Smart idea not to cut the beautiful long hair. I did and regretted it over and over and never let my hair grow back long.
Have a stylist do anything in the way of colors or tinting because long hair has a tendency to dry and break. Start with a streak or few, not major changes, maybe adding color since lightning means removing color and that strips the hair.
If you are not sure what you want, go to a place that sells quality wigs and try several on. Perhaps what you are looking for is a temporary change, and a wig is defintely temporary. The store will teach you how to "hide" you hair, etc. I did that many years ago and loved it.

Hey great Question! BUT long hair is in itself the Beauty of a Woman!
Few have that quality Today! Just trim the ends, about 1/2 inch and Don't Color it, as it destroys the Hair!
Sometimes a Mayonnaise Treatment works good to give your hair that Natural Shine as the American Indian Woman used Yucca Plant to do the Same!
Thanks, RR

just get layers long or short it doesn`t matter and when you are looking for a good color go to like walmart look at the hair coloring boxes and compare the faces on the boxes to yours that way you can get the perfect color start off with buying that color in a coloring kit that washes out after so many washes so if you dont totally love it it wont be permanent and then you can try a different color
have fun!

1. Get some natural looking high lights done in your hair.
2. Trim a bit off.
3. Get layered hair in the front.
Enjoy your stylish new look! :)

Layers and highlights are always good. Coloring that doesnt have amonia in it is alot better for your hair
