grow light cooling fans

Any tips...?
Okay...so my hair is black with brownish/redish highlights. I like my hair and all but I want it to be more , y'know, "edgy". I got layers last summer but it grew out and now it doesn't look to flattering. I'm thinking of getting more highlights on my hair like light brown or pink [like Avril Lavigne's...I'm a big fan]. Some asians in my school have this really cool haircut and
I was like what do you call your cut? They said it was layers......but they have bangs with it which I love [it was different from what I got].......Soooooo.........yea, any tips? 'Cuz I love my hair and I don't want to act all stupid and make my hair look dumb....Also, I don't like my hair dry..
I'm 13 too =D
Gimme some pictures and if I really like them, I'll vote you as the best answer =D
Ask one of them if you can take their picture and then show it to your hairdresser, or you could look in magazines and show your hairdresser a picture. If you can't find a picture, tell her exactly what you just said and she'll do your hair just like that.
