"With my hair.
What's the current trend in cuts? Short, long, bob, layers?
No links please  "
I've no idea. But I dyed mine blue today, after 10+ years of no dye, in a moment of madness.  I'm getting used to it though and it's growing on me.

Long and flowy.
I've just had mine shorted as I have had it long for the last 30 years thought I could do with a change. |

What style are you normally comfortable with? "
In the last ten or so years I've had shoulder length to very long, all one length, layered, straightened, curly (that's my natural hair) and always tinted. I've been comfortable with all those |

I do as it took forever to dry and straighten my hair before.
I also thought it would be fun to dye it a fun colour so half of my hair is now blue lol |

It's the maintenance of longer hair isn't it.
Very cool half blue |

"Go with short considering the hot weather.
Hmmm I consider it often then can't bring myself to do it"
I did it after our daughter was born because of my inability to get myself in and out of the bath. Shorter hair needed less maintenance (or I could get away with less). I've kept it, though. I think mine is described as a kind of pixie cut. I had a long asymmetric bob before that, with the longest bits at shoulder length. I've never grown my hair out again since cutting it very short and I prefer it this way now.
It'll grow back, if you don't like it.... |

When I've wanted a change I ask my hairdresser to recommend something to it. I usually like it.
At the moment I'm seriously embracing my natural texture - it's probably a similar amount of work to straightening etc (maybe a bit more), but it's a bit of a learning curve. (I have quite wavy hair, but it's very similar to the process for curly hair) |

Bob would suit you just took a glance at your pictures. Then you'll just have to get used to running your fingers through it which I'm sure you'll find relaxing |

I had very short hair until my early fifties. With a brief foray into a Purdey cut in my 20s.
It will grow back you're right but as I hurtle at break neck speed towards another decade I'm not sure I'd do it. |

Your hair won't take another decade to grow back
You'd be MAX, oh, about 80 by the time it's back to where it is now.... *Scarpers* |

I cut 5 inches off yesterday because I don't cope well in the heat so I've got a long inverted Bob. Plus it will be easier to colour.
I can see you with a Kim Basinger 9 1/2 weeks cut, lots of texture but able to scoop up when it's warm. |

Adds a touch of class, able to feel the breeze at the back of your neck. And you'll find sleeping relaxing also... |

This is one of the most BS free curly girl youtubers I know - she's not an influencer as far as I know and it's not all about products
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1ZjFccWBZ8
She has type 3 hair (curly rather than wavy). In a really quick summary of difference between curly and wavy hair - you may need more shampoo if you're oily, less conditioning (but maybe more than you're used to) and waves seem to fall apart more easily than curls, so you need to be more gentle when manipulating wavy hair (so for example, after creating a gel cast, you clap out the crunch rather than scrunching out the crunch)
- plopping is sort of tipping your head into the t-shirt or microfibre towel (no regular towels ever ever) and tying it up into a turban |

"Pixie bob, kingfisher blue at the front.
I don't think blue would suit me but a pixie bob looks gorgeous!
That's going on my list
Embrace the grey and have a silver wash put through it."
Ooo that might be a step too far for me.

I tend to just go with what suits me rather than follow the trends.
I got a slightly different colour last time, and the cut was a wee bit different as well. Because I'm lazy, I always want my hair to be long enough to tie back lol. Have a browse for any styles that you like, and talk to your hair dresser to see if they would work with your hair

As you should. Then when I have deleted it and you have 'the only copy', I will be able to look back upon my teal tresses.

"A shorter version than you have now cut blunt like a bob with loose curls not quite touching your shoulders. Look at some of Emilia Fox photos."
I think that's like the Kim Basinger cut suggested earlier and something I might consider. |

I’m planning to grow mine out because It’s more versatile when long. Go wild and do something different |
