Cut or Grow?

I’m at one of those awkward phases with my hair and can’t decide if I want to keep growing it long or chop it all off.

This is pretty close to what I look like now, only my hair is a little longer. You can kinda see that it’s starting to frizz some.


Here’s one of me from a couple of years ago when I kept it short. My face has changed and I’ve dropped some weight since then though.

And here’s an even older one with long hair. Yeah, I’m a boob.


The nice thing about long hair is that I can be lazy and tie it back. The trouble with long hair is that I’m lazy and I’ll just tie it back every day. It takes a lot of effort for my hair to look nice and non frizzy when it’s not tied back. It also takes forever to dry. However, I can let it down for maybe 20 minutes before it starts going crazy on me, and it looks sorta pretty for a while. I keep attempting to grow it out in hopes that this time it will be different, but I generally get discouraged and give up.

I like the short hair because it’s pretty easy day to day and is dry and fairly non frizzy in a short amount of time. However, I have to leave the house and get it cut pretty often or it looks stupid. I also am concerned I look like a boy with short hair. It’s kind of hard to predict what short hair will do to my face this time around, since I lost some poundage and my features sort of changed. I fear the unknown O_O!

Right now I’m leaning toward chopping it off but not ready to commit to that. Help me decide!

Chop it off! Your features are delicate enough that you could go even shorter than the pic you posted. I think the short hair makes you look sassy and hawt and after my own recent battle with long hair, I know you won't love the sucky stuff like getting it caught in your seat belt (ARGH!).

I like the long I think - but keep in mind I shave mine because I hate hair upkeep so its unfair for me to say that :D

I love the first picture of you. The soft, bouncing short haircut is VERY flattering. Dont go as short as the second picture, but maybe cut some chunky layers into it and poof it (not that weird poofy ball of fluff from a couple years ago) but layer it high in the back so you can do some wild bouncy curls. I did my hair like that a couple years ago and i loved it. You can curl under or curl it out or just gel it to control the frizz. :P

neg Mae, 2nd one is hot. In that - city cafe sort of spunky way.

1st one is cute in that - I am smart and innocent sort of way

3rd one is pretty in the - well... yeah pretty sort of way.

IMO, attractive as all three.

You look the best in the first picture, by far. I am a very big fan of short hair, but not as short as in the second picture. It shouldn't be shorter than mine :)

Veri, in that second picture you look exactly like an old friend of mine named Melanie. I like the shorter hair on you, I am thinking something like pick 1 but maybe with a little bit of layering in the front .

If I didn't have such a big head I'd go for a short do...they're sassy and self expressive. Hair dressers can do some crazy cool stuff with hair these days. Go with shortish...you can get the sass of the second picture and have it as long as the first if you find the right look and the right hair stylest.

I'm about at that same point Veri. When my hair is short its not quite as short as yours but now its starting to grow out and its long enough where most of the time I'm lazy and just throw it back in a pony tail but then again I like it when it gets a couple inches longer. So I dont know if I should get it cut again or let it grow some more. I have some pics maybe when Mae gets back she'll host em and you guys and can tell me what to do too.
