How about a haircut to an inch or two below shoulder length and some nice, summery highlights? I was bold and took this approach two summers ago (my hair was at my waist and I had never had any coloring/highlighting done) and loved it. I liked my hair before, but I was amazed at how much more - I don't know - adult it made me look. For once, I actually felt "kempt". (I didn't realize that I didn't feel that way before!)
I, of course, am lazy about adding new maintenace things to my ritual though, so I just kinda let it go after that. It looked good through last summer, but I was just studying my head in the mirror last week sometime, thinking how dark my natural color seemed after having those highlights. I think I'm going to do it again, and chop off a few more inches, becasue I'm starting to get my hair caught in my jeans again. Let's be brave together!
