My sister is over-weight, and she has the most beautiful long spiral hair style. She wears her hair down layered past her shoulder blades and around her face her neck, and down around her chest. It's a dark sable brown with lighter brown highlights. It's georgous! I wish I could send you a picture of her hair style, but I not only wouldn't know how, she probably wouldn't let me.
Good luck finding your perfect style. If you want to be wild and bold, you could always go to a wig shop where they have 100's of different styles and colors, and try them on! That would be a fun way to find your perfect look, then you could take the wig to your stylist so they know exactly what you want done with your own hair!.... You can always take the wig back for a refund! Or keep it around for your bad hair days! :) That's what I do.
Take care!
