My hair is half way down my back and is dark blonde or light brown. It used to be blonde but hormones screwed that up. I had blonde streaks on top, but they're growing out now so I should get that redone. I get it trimmed a couple of times a year and don't really do much else to it. I trim my own bangs after having hairdressers butcher them for me a few times. When I'm at home or it's hot I put it up in a clip and it looks rather messy, but I don't always like to have it on my neck. For work I usually use hairspray to keep it out of my face.
