Hair help

Ok, so I'm getting myself made over before peanut arrives so I feel a bit better about myself now I am the size of an elephant.

I managed to get a great pamper deal, which includes colour and cut (as well as mani/pedi, massage, facial etc)

Please give me some advice on how I could have my hair, so that it looks nice if I leave it to dry naturally (don't do faffing on a daily basis) but that I can still do something to for going out (I have dryer,straighteners and various curling bits). I'd like to go a bit shorter so it's easier to maintain with a nb - should I have a fringe?

Also, what colours do you think? I get a 'top panel of highlights or lowlights'.

Here is a recent-ish pic of me.



And this was me with a fringe:

I like you without a fringe better, your eyes are a really nice feature and they are shown off best in the top pic.

I think your hair in the top pic looks lovely, perhaps get a good cut with a bit of softening around the face x

Wow, never seen a pic of you Lucie and you're so pretty

I agree with Rox, no fringe. Fringes require faffing, unless you just clip it back which kinda thingies the point in getting it cut in lol.

I third the no fringe look, maybe have it cut to just sit on shoulder length, choppy layers through and some coppery highlights through the top! Nothing that's going to take too much maintaining but something to brighten you up and be easy to "tousle" when you can't be bothered/don't have time for full on styling!??

Wow, never seen a pic of you Lucie and you're so pretty

Aw, thank you. I have to say, I had to trawl through my facebook pictures to find a photo I'd be happy to show you, most of the pictures are hiddeous!

I agree the top pic is better than the bottom one but, you have amazing pretty eyes. I actually think a fringe would suit but one with more shape and not so heavy.

I always ask for a hair style that requires nor faffing of styling and layers, particularly around the face always help
