I just graduated cosmetology school where I studied all about HAIR. It still amazes me that doing something different with your hair can completely change your look. I love helping someone with a hair question they may have and submissions of your hair are most welcome!

I have super thick, sort-of wavy brown hair that has now grown down to my waist. I'm going away to school in the fall and I want to get a really low maintenance hair cut just because I'm tired of trying to find a way to make it look good every morning. I've been thinking maybe an Emma Watson inspired pixie cut or something of that sort. I'm a bit worried about having to get it trimmed so frequently, as I've read that you should with this type of cut. I also don't know whether it would look good.
No matter what, you are going to have maintenance with a cut. Having short hair, you will definitely need to keep up with trims if you are wanting to keep it short. Whether it is short or long, hair grows at the same rate. It is just more obvious when it grows if it is short. With a pixie cut, there may be more maintenance then you realize. You may have to put styling products in it for it to do what you want. I used to have really short hair, and there was never a “wake up and go” way of life for me. With it being so short, I would wake up with my hair sticking straight up in places and there was no way to fix it without getting it wet in the shower. Even with a spray bottle, it wasn’t enough to tame the messy pieces. With longer hair now, I rarely have messy hair in the morning. And it’s easy to throw up in a ponytail when I don’t want to do anything with it.
I think going short is a great idea! It is fun and cutting your hair dramatically is always a great way to start a new chapter in your life. But if you are wanting a pixie cut or something similar because you want something low maintenance, I would maybe pass on it. For something easy to maintain, try cutting a few inches off. Just enough so that’s you can throw it in a ponytail when you are tired of it, but when you feel like styling it or going out, you still have that option. AND you won’t wake up with crazy hair in the morning!
Hope this helps! Again, this is only my opinion formed by my personal experiences!

Ok so I have blonde and brown hair and I usually get it professionally done, but anyways I thought I would try and take the brown out myself and it just made it a lighter brown and killed it a little I made a hair appointment with my hair dresser to just dye the entire thing a lighter blonde and get rid of the brown with a cut and I don't know if its ok to re dye it right away or? Cause it will be 5 days since I dyed it last.
It isn’t GREAT for your hair, but depending on the previous damage to your hair, you should be okay. I have had to do multiply bleaching sessions to my hair with extremely strong bleach. My hair isn’t in the best condition, but it’s not falling out either.
Also, your hairdresser will be able to tell you if your hair is too damaged to bleach it again right away.
Just be sure to take great care of it after bleaching it! Do deep conditioning treatments! :D
