I'm a ballet dancer. I take ballet class 6 days a week. I'm about to cut my hair, and I'm not sure what I want. If it were my choice, I would cut it shoulder length, but I had a bad experience when I was younger where "shoulderlength" quickly transformed into a bob, due to a misunderstanding with a hairdresser. I've tried some layering, but you can barely tell it's there. I'd like long, side swept bangs, but I'm worried I wont be able to put them in a ponytail. I'm open to subtle highlights. What is a good haircut I could get that provides some interest while still allowing me to put my hair in a bun?
