Going for a much-needed cut 'n color today... Right now, my hair is mid-back length, and I end up wearing it like this 300 days of the year. So really, why bother having long hair, right?
I wish I had the style courage to chop it like this...

...but, without a bevy of stylists hovering about, I'd undoubtedly end up with a non-descript Mom Cut {sigh}I'll let ya know if The Spirit moves me to do anything fun...

Oh go for something fun...unexpected. It's only hair. Right?
That cut is really cute, you should go for it!
The cute is so cute! I know what you mean about getting a different and fun hair style. I have had a very long hair for many years... Once I had a short hair cute just like a men's style I would put some gel would be ready to go, I use to love it! But now my hubby likes the long hair so I just trim it once in awhile. You should try it really is a cute one!
I have that same problem these days... in fact, my hair is in a bun like that right this minute!!! I am thinking going for a short bob like Katie Holmes has these days... but I've been keeping my hair long for a while! It's hard to do something so dramatic! Can't wait to see the results!
we are in the same boat. my hair is also mid back and i long to cut it too. but i am torn. i am afraid i will look like a "mom" too. you are still quite young though and can still pull off short with ease and little effort so if you ARE gonna do it i say do it now.
but i will say this about ashley's do....that is a VERY skilled person doing that cut and if you feel confident with someone to do it to you-great..if not opt for something not quite as artfully layered.
Venture out and try something different. I would just ask for it to be fairly easy maintenance. I hate to spend 30 min. a morning on my hair. Good luck. Hugs, Marty
Don't cut it off! I love long hair-my hair has been the same since I was 2! Change isn't always good.
Going for short hair IS scary, so the best advice is to go slowly. If your hair is mid-back, just go to your shoulder blades and then next time (if you're still game) go for just at your shoulders and so on. -- I first chopped my hair off in college and went for broke straight out of the gate. Not a good idea. That said though, I haven't gone back to long hair since (even for my wedding) -- short hair is great!
I'm about to do a major hack job as well. Mine is also mid to lower back so I'm going to be brave and chop it. Not because I'm brave normally about a full on chop but, I figured since I got it this long I may as well use it for good.
I'm going to donate my hair to 'Locks Of Love' so they can use it to make a wig for a child with hair loss that may not have been able to afford one otherwise.

Maybe this would work for you too.
I'm used to having my hair chin length, but I decided to grow it out and tell the BF I'm not cutting it till he asks me to marry him because I want to have long hair to pull back in a low messy bun with curls around my face for the wedding (yes I know I have issues, haha). But right now this in-between stage is really getting to me, I have no idea what to do with it :) He keeps telling me I'll have "butt length" hair by the time he pops the question, I think hes just getting me back for growing it out (he likes it short)
Sorry, that was a longer comment than I thought haha
I am SOOOOO with you! I wear my hair exactly like you do, and love the cut below, but it would somehow not look that messy/sexy/chic on me and then I could not put it up! Hahahaha! Decisions, decisions!
