Should I cut my hair? (see pics)

Help! Today I am having a BAAAAD "I want to cut my hair" day. I used to have short hair for yeeeaaarrss. And over the past year and a bit have been growing it out. I would say it is now officially medium length (longer than the "longer hair" example pic I will post. Since I've had short hair for a long time I thought I would try it longer.

I am not one that spends a long time in the morning getting ready, doing hair, etc. and my hair is usually brush and go.

One reason I was hanging onto the longer hair idea is that it will be easier to have an "up do" of sorts for my wedding next spring (2009) if it's longer.

Anyways, let me know what you think. The short hair pics are a couple years old but it gives a general idea. Sorry I don't have a lot of great examples.. I'm at work and these are the only ones I have on my photobucket.

These pics are about 2-3 years old, but this is the shortest that I have ever gone. Sorry the one pic is kinda fuzzy.

I think that you should do what you feel comfortable with. You have a lovely face that is accentuated when your hair frames it. If you decide that you want long hair for your wedding, you can always get temporary extensions.

The cut is "charming"...I cut 14inches off 2 months ago and I LOVE my short hair. Not sure who mentioned it here, but at 38 the long hair didn't suit me any longer, almost made me look older. Love the short shaggy bob - makes running a lot easier w/out a mop of hair on top of me....

You look Fab - love the highlites!!!

I think your hair looks best in the 1st pic. By the way, what is your ticker scale at the time of your pictures, you sure don't look like you need to lose 144 lbs?

Awww thanks so much, what a great compliment. In all of the pictures I've posted I can't tell exactly what the I weighed but the range would be between 290 and 315 (my weight range variance for the past 5 or so years).

I wish I could get my hair to do stuff. Unfortunately, it's fairly curly (not Annie-curly, but it gets ringlets when long and uncombed), so I can either do short and curly/wavey or longer and frizzy-curly. Can't style it for anything. It's very stubborn; all it does is curl. Which is nice, when I'm in the mood for curly hair. If I want it to look like something other than curls, though, I'm SOL. No popular style ever works. Hell, even styled curls don't work. If I want it to curl one way, it invariably curls the exact opposite direction.:thumbdown:

I really like the style you picked! It totally suits you. I think it is cute and kinda sassy!

Oh wait! I didn't mean for that to come across like it did. LOL I dont think you are sassy! Just the hairstyle :)

I just had my hair cut in almost that exact style. I love it!!! It is super cute and very easy to fix in the mornings not alot of fuss for a very put together look. I will have toget hubby to take some pics to share.

Hey Jeannie!

I really do want to eventually get it cut that way. I'm just not ready to do it yet. I would love to see pictures of your "new do"!

Thanks Angelic1, I'm so torn. I txtd my fiance that I am having a hair obsession moment lol, will be interesting to find out what he says because.. he likes long.

my hubby likes long hair 2,i like your hair better with a bit of lenght to it,but it is harder to look arfter the longer it gets,my hair is shoulder lenght and naturaly curly,you may have more options of how you want to wear your hair on your big day if it is longer,but im sure you will look fab anyway.all the best,enjoy your wedding planning[hoe exciteing]:crying:

sorry,also,if you grow it for the wedding,u can always cut it short if you dont like it,it takes months to grow it.just wanted to correct spelling mistak[how exciteing]i often press buttons to close together and then it reads wrong,sorry.
