How perfect is this reverse ombre?

REAL TALK

I've been dying to cut all my hair off and thanks to Lulu I finally found a good visual representation of what I was imagining in the form of Kiko Mizuhara. Blunt bob straight across. But as Shini tweeted: Note to self: When I'm buying tights, I am buying the tights, not the model's legs... I too have to remember that just because I cut my hair like this doesn't mean my face will morph into fairy, gamine-like features like hers...sigh...nonetheless, still want.However, the real issue is convincing my emo-loving, modern, sci-fi guy of a mate into letting me get, or rather still be attracted to me, after said cut. He thinks a haircut like that has zero sex appeal and is dorky and child-like. "There's nothing cool about it." So I get this in my inbox this morning:

And then at 11:07am I get this email. No subject, no body, just attached image...

LOCKS

I am in dire need of some new hair. I have had the same hair - with and without bangs - pretty much for the past 6 years now. I'm lazy and don't like styling, let alone brushing my hair. I can't stand hair in my face so it has to be long enough to be pulled tied back or be short enough to be completely out of my eyes. The thing is I had dude hair in high school and a bob in college and the lesson I've learned is that I look bad with short hair, horrible in fact. But then long hair gets old and is too "pretty" unless you go for the ultra dirty scraggly look, at which point it looks "edgier" but results in a rat's nest/dread at the back of my neck. What to do, what to do....

Absolutely in love with the bottom photo that has been making the blog rounds lately. Her hair is perfection, as is Devon's similar but shorter hair in the photo above it. Love both but they're a bit similar to what I have now. Perhaps just a trim and lighten for summer? I'm a complete wuss when it comes to messing with the color of my hair. It's currently entirely my natural color and it's been that way for most of my life, minus the few times in high school and college I put in a singular Manic Panic streak here and there. Dying all of it seems like a lot work - I don't think I can commit to the root touch-up and maintenance. Again with the laziness. Maybe just lighten the ends? Meh........this is getting really jumbled.

Thoughts? What do you think I should do?

SHITTTT
