So I was just wondering if there's a certain way you should get your haircut (certain type of layers, etc) if you want to be able to put in some hot rollers and give yourself some victory rolls and whatnot? Like, is there a cut that'll help rather than hinder your chances of it actually turning out like that, if you know what I mean.

Thank you!

This is my hair at this very moment:

I'm sorry I look so terrrible, ignore that. It's reddish, but very faded, a little less than right at my shoulders, but looks a lot shorter because I always curl it. My original cut was a Tegan and Sara look, a little mullet-ish. I enjoyed it at first, but now that it's growing out, I feel like it looks weird with the front being shorter than the back. I want to grow my hair out, so I'm not really looking to cut much of it, but a couple ideas wouldn't hurt. I'm mainly looking for styling ideas, if anyone has any. I don't have any pictures of it straightened, as I never do that anymore, so I apologize for that.

I really like this style:

and I feel like my hair is ALMOST long enough in the front to do it, but that takes a lot off in the back.
ALSO, I'm looking for something to do with my color. I probably can't pull of blond, but I really want to. Here's a better picture of my skin tone:

That's when I had brown hair, after bleaching the front part. Now it's like that, but a little more red. I really love the chocolate brown color of the last picture I posted, but I can't decide on what I want to do.

NOW, for my questions:

1. Should I just go ahead and get the a-line? Would it look okay on me? Maybe something else?
2. Color ideas? What would look best? I don't know that I could do blond, but tell me what you think, and if you know any specific color names/brands (of any shade, browns, reds, blondes, whatever)!

Thanksssss! <3
