Can I get away with asking this without posting a pic? Some of you have seen what I look like. I try not to keep my face on here for long bc I’m a therapist and paranoid a client will find me.
Anyway, I’m constantly bored with my hair. I’ve been growing it out for the past few months but I only like how it looks when I pull it half up. I also have bangs that I’m never getting rid of unless I decide to ever buzz it, so take that into consideration.
Open to any and all ideas. I have an oval shaped face. My hair is fine with the teeniest bit of a wave. I don’t style it beyond drying my bangs and will never put much effort into styling it.

I have kind of a hime cut going on but a little less goofy. I have about four distinct blunt step layers cut into my hair including the bangs and it takes a lot of the weight off and allows it to take on more shape and texture (my strands are very fine but dense)! When it's not styled it’s a little wavy. The cool thing about it is that you can pin or tie up the different layers and look almost like you have a shorter hairstyle.
My stylist did this as a gateway drug for me I think because what he really wants me to do is to chop it all off. He’s old school Vidal Sassoon trained so he loves a short architectural haircut and he’s probably right but I do love the romantic feminine look of longer hair… it’s time for me to see him again soon I think so I’ll have to decide. But shorter hair is definitely a great option to consider.

I love getting buzz cuts but I feel guilty cuz I have a full head o’ hair. Been rocking the mini mullet lately and digging that. (I’ve always wanted to grow it out and see what a big ol’ flow would feel like down to the shoulders. Dev Patel style or beyond. But I don’t have the patience for it and get easily discouraged. If you have tips, would love to hear them. I usually turn back and go back to da old me after ~5 months)

This is one of those things I believe you know in your heart for yourself. I do art, I trusted myself, I had cut my hair before, I dye my own hair regularly, I looked up a tutorial and I just went for it (you don't have to be familiar working with your hair to not fail, many people are just fine trimming their own bangs, my mother for example). But I am the cautious type, I knew I wasn't gonna cut off too much. Confidence is key here. The fringe can smell you wavering.
My sister is not the cautious type. She went into it very, "whatever it's gonna be fine". Watched a couple tik toks and then wung it. And then started panicking halfway through. If this is you, just go find a hair dresser that does $15 bang trims and save yourself the trauma.
The last thing I would consider is, is this fringe a long term thing for you? My mom started off not cutting her own bangs, but they are permanent now so she learned how to to avoid going to the hair dresser all the time. Now tho she is more bougie and has free time and goes to them every time.
Additionally, identify where you are on the sliding scale of "eh I look dumb now but it's fine I'm cool, it will fix in a few months, I'll just wear clips" to "oh no my hair is fucked and so is my will to live, I cannot look in mirrors again".
Anyways, I know this might not be a super helpful tiebreaker but I feel like it depends on you. We all have those friends that we would totally encourage to do it themselves and those friends who we know should not. You gotta be your own friend here, you know which one you are.
