Hair change

[jennythereader]

I'm thinking of doing something new and different to my hair. Either dying it an unusual color, or cutting it short.

Both have advantages and disadvantages:

Dye

Pros:

1. Easier to undo/cover up if I don't like it
2. Will wear/wash out relatively quickly
   

Cons:

1. My hair has never been any other color, so I don't know how I'd look

Cut

Pros:

1. I already know that I look pretty good with shorter hair

Cons:

1. I've had short hair before, so it doesn't really count as doing something new and different.
2. If I do go with a very different style, instead of the same basic style only chin length instead of mid-back length, I'll be stuck with it for months.  If I hate it, that would suck.

What do you guys think?

EDIT  Any males out there who have an opinion?  If you do, I'd like to hear it.

If you're going to dye, see if the beauty place has hair samples that show what the color will be like afterward. They're pretty accurate. That should give you something to work with in terms of figuring out what you'll look like afterwards. Personally, I love the fact that I'm now half-redhead.

That's a good idea. It hadn't occurred to me that they'd have samples like that.

Some do, some don't. You'll have to check with your salon of choice.
