Hairstyles - where do you get your inspiration and do you change often?

I usually have an idea in my head of what I want before I do it, it's just that finding a picture of what I want is so hard. And drawings never worked out well for me in the past. But anyway, I always spend hours on the internet looking up galleries to get inspiration. Oh, and I change it so infrequently, about twice a year.

I have very long hair, and it is in a bun, down or braids, one or two. I really would love to cut my hair but it will break the hearts of those who live with me (heck, even friends do not want me to cut my hair) So my hairstyle is always the same.

i am a singer and i love changing hairstyles. like to change color and high lights every once in a while too. but sometimes it is so frustrating when you come out of a salon not getting the style you want. or sometimes i get the style i want but its a style that is hard to maintain. the favorite style i did was Ellen Degeneres' hair style. now my hair has grown from that and still thingking what would i do next.

[i]Hi grace, I always tick to one style that I like before..LOL! But, whenever I will see a new style and it looks nice, I will always love to try it but I don't have any plan of cutting my hair short..I enjoyed short hair for so long and now I am keeping my long hair, just add some fashion once in awhile![/i]

Hi grace, right now I am having the same dilema! I decided to let my layers grow in and now I don't know what to do with my hair. I have very curly,thin but, very frizzy hair! No matter what style or cut it is very difficult to deal with. When it's layer sometimes it looks thicker, sometimes not. I let it grow and now I don't know if I should cut it back into layers or not. I have been looking on the web for different styles and have not come up with much. Having curly hair is not fun. It is difficult to find someone who knows how to cut it too. If they cut it wet they have to allow for the shrivel factor. Meaning when dry it will be alot shorter. I am very freaky about having my hair cut. I used to say I rather get a tooth pulled!
