Hairstyle advice PLEASEE!

My hair's incredibly thick. Horribly thick, i've always felt, hence i used to thin it so much. But the texture was horrible and unhealthy looking after being thinned.

Anyway, i discovered that i have a thin, long face. So thin hair isn't ideal for me i think. I can create volume without trying with my natural thick fat hair haha. So i grew it without thinning it.

This is what it used to look like:

Short uneven layers which i couldn't stand, had to keep thinning them out. Long stringy hair, like extentions, i'm so over that look haha, it really doesn't fit my personality :/

So after i grew it out, I got my hair cut from an expensive place, in hopes it would turn out nice. I kept my layers, but instead the shortest layer is a bit longer than it used to be. It comes to my chin i think. The hairdresser gave me tips on how to straighten my hair to make it look "flowy". Because apparently that's an ideal look for people with thick hair.

In a couple of pictures, i like the way it looks:

But in others i can really see how thick and big and not flowy it really looks.

I hate that.

I don't know what to do really. Straight hair looks horrible on me i think, because my hair's so thick the layers just look clumpy and horrible. But i can't really pull of a nice "flowy" look either because the layers are so thick. And as you can see in the above picture, it just turns out looking ugly. It's really annoying, i have no idea what to do with this big long thing on my head.

you are a pretty lady and i would give anything to have your hair. in the picture where you said you don't like the way it looks (last one) it looks great to me. your hair looks healthy and it really doesn't look that thick. i like it. as it grows out. keep it trimmed. but only the ends. i think pantene has a new shampoo for thick curly hair. it is supposed to keep the frizzies away. if you have frizzies. to me your hair is beautiful.

I don't think you have a thin, long face at all - seems more oval.

I agree, your hair looks really healthy and quite lush.

What about a collar bone length shag with a long side swept bang?

The layers would allow you to have more movement and some of the thickness would be removed.

Healthy, shiny and beautiful.  I think you are being overly critical with yourself.  I'd trade hair with you in a heartbeat!

Aww, thank you guys! That's very sweet.

I think the picture in the middle makes my face look oval, which is why i like it, but trust me in reality it's quite long and thin lol. Wow, collar bone length hair! I think that looks awesome on people, but i don't think it would on me because the reason i have long hair is to make it seem less bushy and thick... i'd feel too scared to do that. Although thinking of how it might look, i'm liking the idea...

Yes, please trade hair with me!!
