New School Hair Ideas?

Alright, so I've never done anything to my hair, other than cut it. I really want to do something cool and kind of different for the beginning of school, but I need advice. I know nothing about this stuff.

So this is my hair the shortest it's EVER been, along with the shortest bangs I've ever had:


And this is it now (I HATE this picture, but it shows it well):


So yeah, the color is completely natural. It's in good condition. I just want a change. Nothing way TOO drastic though. Could I pull off a fringe? Should I go back to lots of layers with the side bangs? Should I color it? Would a dark auburn color look good on me?

ANY suggestions, I'm open to hear.

dark auburn would be rad, and so would layers. side bangs would also be rad [I find them to be more versatile than full on bangs].

ugh, see, I'm already bored with my hair, because I can't do much with it. Its been so humid, all I can do is slick it back! ;-;

auburg would look fantastic me thinks
and to me you look like you could def pull of a fringe
and jup im with puffy layers layers!

Thanks for the responses



I'm thinking something along the lines of that, but more the color of Julia Roberts' hair in this picture:



What do you guys think about that?


EDIT::
my natural hair texture is just like Lindsay's in that picture, that's why I think t'd work really well on me...

I love both colours but prefer Lindsays, it would look so hot on you!

My sister seems to think that this cut would look good on me:



The only thing is that my hair is quite a bit thicker, soo.. I don't know how that would work...

im not a huge fan of the cut your sister posted.
i do like lindsay's and think that would be cute on you.

I think the Lindsay Lohan hair but with a nice sweeping side fringe

i like the bluntish fringe your sister suggested - i mean, it'd probably take a wee bit of styling, but you wanted a change and it certainly would be! or a side swept fringe.

also, i really like the auburn ideas, but if you were unsure abuot that you could keep most of it brown and do the underneath/longer layers red, like when avril lavigne did hers black (sorry she;s the only example i could think of!)

i.e....

Spoiler:

I got it actually cut today!!!

After:

BEAUTIFUL

very nice gee =D

so pretty!!

That looks great!

that looks SO good

Gina your hair is so pretty!

did you get color done too?
it looks a bit darker in the pics (or is it just the lighting)

Thanks lovelies!

Lindsay, it's always looks amazing right when i come out of the salon - they always make it so soft. Redkin(?) prodects are the BEST.

And Steph, i couldn't get the balls to do the color... or the money for it done in a salon. Should I still? My friend thinks I should go darker - a deep chocolate brown with some reddish tint? I don't know...

I really like it!

it looks lovely Gina and its Redken

yes yes do it Ginaaaa =D

you could defnitely work the darker hair

you'd look even hotter!

Hehehe. We'll seeee...

you look gorgeous either way, gina!!
