Keep It or Chop It?

I have been growing my hair for about six years. Since January and especially since it has been getting warmer I have been thinking about chopping off my hair. But I need some help deciding whether i should just get a trim or do an extreme Halle Berry cut.

I have created a poll that will run for 30 days and at the end of the 30 days I will follow through with whatever the poll results are. So be sure to vote!

It is funny when I first started the Keep or Chop lens 31 days ago I had resigned myself to the possibility of having to cut my hair off. Every day throughout the month I kept changing my mind, much to my own amusement. One day I would be, "I want to cut my hair." and the poll tally would be at the "DON'T" cut point. Then the next I'd be, "I don't want to cut my hair." and the poll would be at the DO cut point. It was a weird month.

I am an emotional person but I am not overly emotional about my hair. I won't cry when it gets cut. I know I will enjoy the freedom but in the same sense I know that after the first woman I see with long hair I will be pining for it again. Then the whole growing process will begin all over. It is a good thing my hair grows quicker than average.

A funny side note, my husband admitted to voting at least three time (once on his work computer, once on the phone, and once on his home computer) all for a trim and not a chop. I told him, "See what happens when you cheat!"

Next week I will schedule the big chop and include some photos.

Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback. I look forward to seeing the results!
