Okay so my hair is really really long, like halfway down my back, and it's a very light brown, very near blonde color. It's very straight and (for me) very boring. I like my bangs (I have side bangs) but the rest of my hair is so plain. It's all the same length, it's neatly trimmed very cleanly. I was supposed to get it cut to my upper back area (bra strap length) before school started for me tomorrow, but I couldn't get it done today so I have to postpone until next week.

When I'm at the hair salon, should I get something else done to my hair besides just a cut? I'm sure of the length I'm going to get it, I like my bangs, but I was thinking of maybe getting my hair layered or getting some gold or tan highlights (I have very light chestnut eyes. I don't know if gold and tan will be flattering...you know, bring them out).

So do you have any ideas? My hair hasn't been cut since I was maybe 8 or 9 (Just trimmed) and I've been bored with it for a very long time. So...layers? Highlights? Any tips?
