What shape is your face? Would you be opposed to something like the girl on the right? http://www.hair-styles.org/fm6.html The layering around the face and in the cut give the hair a bit of volume, the the layering around the face is a young look. Another idea is an inverted bob, you can have you hair shoulder length, or a bit shorter and it is a very young, but finished cut. The downside being that in order for it to look "fresh" you have to get a hair cut every three weeks, but it is otherwise an easy look to maintain.

go for a closed cut. it looks nice and you will be looking at least 15 years younger. i used to go for close cut always.

ask the hairdresser, I haven't had a perm for years, I hate them really. Torture and they always look like it. Go for straight, natural

A layered look would add volume to your hair and it's easy to manage. My mom is a hair stylist:) I also have fine hair and I currently have this cut.

You need to find a hairdresser who is familiar with a 3 tiered effect.. it is not only neat appearing, it takes very little care..

an easy hairstyle to maintain is to get it cut at your neck, like a bob. all you need to do to keep it up is trim it moisturize it and tie it up at night like wrap it it works for me.

You can cut it into a bob style with a light but longer layers. This will give you the fullness you need and some body also.
