Saintless

I need help! I’ve been growing my hair out since sometime last fall. And I’m not sure I can take it anymore! So, either cheer me on as I crop it again, or tell me how worth it long hair is. Either way – vote and then comment and tell me why! :)

Here’s my current problematic hair:

See? It’s awful!

And then there’s this one, from about 3 years ago:

This was the only recent (ish) photo I could find of me with really long hair, unless you count the one where my BFF was feeding me cake, and I figured that one got extra sexy points that had nothing to do with hair, so I am going with this one. This is what my long hair looked like when I did nothing with it, except let it air dry and pull it back. I never spent either time or money on  my hair when it was long, mostly because investing either would leave me broke with hair that long. Just blow drying it took over 90 minutes.

And here’s the best short haircut I’ve had:

I am very glad I cut my hair off when I did, and have enjoyed short hair. It’s so easy to make it look good.  Blow drying takes well under 10 minutes when it’s this short. If I cut it off, it will definitely be at least this short, even if I don’t go for the same hairstyle.

Here’s my dilemma: I’m 32. I may never get another chance to grow my hair out, because – let’s face it – I’m getting to be of that age. Which is ok. But, guys always tell me how sexy long hair is, and girls always tell me how sophisticated I look with short hair. Which might be a sign that I have to choose between guys and girls, but ignoring that issue – does long hair look good enough to be worth the pain of growing it out, and the hassle of trying to make it look good every day? Or does short hair look good enough on me that I should just get past the fear that short hair in my 30′s means I’m giving in to age? (Sidenote: I refuse to complain that I’m getting old, because I am NOT!)

Anyway, let me know what you think in this poll: grow it out or cut it off. And add your comments too!
