Should I cut my long hair?

Question

I kind of have a long face with soft features. I'm not fat or chubby at all; I'm in the process of getting toned. My non-layered hair goes down to the top of my chest, but it's getting unhealthy. I feel like at least five inches should be taken off to get rid of all the split ends.

What kind of hair cut should I get? I was thinking shoulder-length with layers, and keeping my bangs.

Does anyone have any links to pictures of examples of hair-dos?

How do you think I should style my hair?

Side Note: I've been wanting to grow my hair down to my butt, but it takes forever to grow, and I want it to be healthy when it reaches that point. I've also wanted to experience short short hair with cute layers as some point too. Should I not go drastic now?

Answer 1

Never go from one extreme to another or you will be sorry. If you really want to grow your hair long keep it trimmed every six to eight weeks and that way you can keep the split ends off but the hair will still grow. To give up now would be ashame because it sounds like the hard inbetween stage is already past. I have always found a trim can make a world of difference. So think about this before cutting it all off then being sorry later.
Good Luck.

I don't know of a website but thought of a generally good cut. Layers, which I am sure you already considered. Layers that begin a little higher than normal can really jazz up a normally drab and longer head of hair. Try to get a cut with flexibility so you can curl it both in and out, or even tight or loose spirals and still have enough lenth on it so it weighs it down enough and doesn't get crazy.

Answer 3

I can't decide if you should cut your hair only you can make that decision but if you find having should length hair is easier to look after go for it. Go with your instinct. Your hair looks nice in your avatar or picture. If you want to curl your hair go ahead, same thing with styling. I might also suggest you can get rid of the split ends. Do yourself a favour and think this through. Yes hair takes forever to go long like you said

Answer 4

I would keep the length but get it shaped up and maybe a new style layers or side swept bangs... I have long hair and just can't part with it!! So I like to keep it fresh by trying out new colors and styles but I just don't wanna lose the length!

Answer 5

it depends on how you want to do it. you can get your hair layered and get rid of the split ends. but i am lovin the first picture. maybe instead of cutting it all off you can add highlights or dye your hair.

Answer 6

you`ll get to regret it,girls always do when they cut their long hair and long nails lol....just layer it a bit and keep the bangs...that`ll do it for making your hair to look healthy again,and it`s not so drastic after all...

Answer 7

Long hair is really pretty, I think you should keep your hair the way it is. My hair grow really slow too, but I'm trying to be patient with my hair. I think that's what you need to do, be patient.
