I'm Bored With My Hair!

Maybe it's because my hair is in that weird length where it's too long for a fro but too short for many other styles I want to try. Maybe it's because most of the styles I've tried have really just been variations of the same look. I'm not really sure why, but I'm a little bored with my hair. Still love it; still can't keep my hands out of it. Just not feeling as patient or as happy with it at the present moment (even as I get oohs and aahs over its growth and volume). Now, this is not just a natural hair thing. I had this complaint many times while relaxed as well. That lead to layers, streaks, color, breakage from the color that resulted in a cut, a rush to make it longer, more streaks, more cutting. Since straightening is out (way too humid for that right now) I am leaning towards kinky twists. Hopefully by the time I take them down (my goal is 1.5-2 months) I'll be excited about Big Sexy again. If not, we'll give it some color and see what that does.

How do you handle hair boredom? Do you switch up your look often, or is it pretty consistent? Did your transition from permed to natural arise from being tired of the same old look (like mine did) or have you considered going back to relaxing your hair to do something different?
