Ladies,

I am dying from the heat! I have very thick, coarse hair, and it's keeping the heat in. You can see various pictures of my hair here: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/members...elf-portraits/

I am very tempted to just take the clippers and shave it all off, but my SO does not like that idea one bit, and I don't think my employers would care for it either. Please stop me and make some suggestions of hairstyles that will allow me to cool off! I know that if I go shorter than my current length I will likely have to go super-short because otherwise my hair turns into a poof-ball. Keeping that in mind, does anyone have any ideas as to what I should do?

Thanks in advance!

I too have thick dark hair. Every summer I used to consider shaving it off. I don't have the coarse issues to deal with, but I can still sympathize.

Throwing together some pictures here... many of them look a lot like one another, slightly different styling...not sure if any of these would necessarily look right for you, but they are short...

so...if you want me to remove this, tell me! Only trying to help...I took one of the pics you pointed to, and gave you a haircut and colour:



based on Keira Knightley, and a little Victoria Beckham.

I think you'd look cute! Hope it helps.

Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.

And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Wow, LT. You really did some work there!

I went and got it cut earlier this afternoon; it was just too hot to sit around and wait for advice to roll in.
