Ok, I have looked like scary mom for long enough, its time for a new hair style. I have gotten so many bad hair cuts over the years that I am actually terrified to go under the scissors. Browsing the internet for the newest hair styles has given me many ideas but not the nerve to just do it. I have come across a couple of pictures that I am considering.

I really like this meduim length layered style and I really like the hair color. According to Ladies Home Journal this style has volume on top and will lengthen a round face. The style has bangs which will help to hide a bit of my large forehead. My hair is already straight but it looks like I might need a little bit of help from a straight iron to get this exact look.

The second style that I am considering is really cute but I am just wondering if it is a bit to edgey for me.

 I’m not a hair styling pro so I fear that this one might be just a bit of work for me.  I really like the bangs in this next picture. I just don’t know if I can find a hair salon that could really give me this look.

I think this one really frames the face nicely. I would have to talk to a stylist to see if this style is a lot of  work to accomplish.

This last picture looks about the easiest style to maintain. I like that the the ends are a blunt or choppy cut and it doesn’t have to much volume which is a hard task for my hair.

 As I write this I am still trying to build up the nerve to just go out and do it. I know that I need a new hair style for 2010 but I don’t want to go from scary mom to she’s not my mom!!! I am determined that by the weekend I will just have to do it.

 Wish me luck!!!
