Poll: Should I chop my locks?

It's that time again. My ends are getting scraggly, so I at least need a trim. But every time I get a haircut, that little voice urges me to chop it all off. I usually just ignore it, but this time around, I'm seriously considering taking the plunge. I know it's kind of annoying when people demand hair advice. I mean... who cares? But I figure you guys have to look at me a lot, so your opinion really does matter. And I'm bad at making decisions...

So, because I'm a list person, here are the pros and cons of getting it cut.

PROS
  • I've had the same haircut for at least a couple of years now and am getting rather bored. Dyeing requires too much maintenance, so it's out of the question.
  • Hair grows back!
  • Right now I only like the way my hair looks after I've washed it, and I don't like to wash it every day.
  • I had short hair all through college, so it's not uncharted territory.
  • It would be fresh and exciting!

CONS
  • I would no longer be able to rock the up-dos. See Exhibit A and Exhibit B.
  • It took an endless amount of time (and patience) to get it to this length.
  • Awkward "in-between" lengths are the worst if I decide to grow it back out.



I feel really lame for posting a picture of a celebrity, but oh well. This is pretty close to what I would get: a "long bob" with bangs. My hair is stick straight, but I would totally wear it wavy sometimes. Photo from beautysnob.com.

So what do you think? Thanks for humoring me on this somewhat trivial matter.

Should I cut my hair?
