Tame the Mane

This is kind of a silly, purposeless post, but it's on my mind a lot lately, so I thought I'd put it out there and see if there was any feedback to be had... I'm planning on cutting my hair. (I said it was silly.) If you haven't seen me in a while, my hair is long. Not high school long, or wedding long, like an inch from my butt long. So I'm planning on chopping off the long locks and donating to Locks of Love again. Ten inches is the minimum donation, but I'm thinking about trimming quite a bit more.

My dear husband is a unique man in that he abhors my long hair. I guess he thinks it's pretty enough, but mostly he finds it annoying. In his own words, "It's everywhere." And I guess I have to agree. I can't sit on it yet, but it is constantly under his arm, or being pulled out in some other way. So he is all for a short look. He actually fell in love with me right after I had donated the first time, when I looked something like this:

Interestingly enough, I really don't like my hair in the medium range. The above picture was more than a year after my first donation. While it's certainly easier to take care of than it's current length, I spend the entire time wishing it was longer or shorter. So it's one or the other, long or short, no middle ground. Here's what I'm thinking:

This obviously goes back to a side swept bang, instead of the current traditional bang, but I could stay with the bangs and go with something like this:

Decisions, decisions... I have been wanting to cut it for a long time, but secretly I was waiting to get pregnant for my "mommy haircut". Alas, my hair might be to me knees if I keep waiting. So debuting sometime this summer these long locks will be history!
