I think my problem is that I want what I don't have. Lacie Marshall posted this video on Facebook. And now of course I feel it is absolutely necessary that I have both the haircut and style. It doesn't help that my awesome sister (who happens to my also be my hairdresser) bought me a kickass curling iron to help create these exact waves.

But then I see these pictures floating around the web...


Aaaand I change my mind again. I have always flip-flopped between wanting long and short hair. When I have short hair, I want long hair, and when I have long hair, I want short hair.

So in an effort to figure out what length I ultimately want to go with, I'm going to do what most people would do when making an important decision. And yes, for a woman, this is considered an important decision. I'm going to weigh the pros and cons!

Pros of having long hair:

• When I'm having a bad hair day, I can throw it in a cute bun.
• It's lower maintenance for me as far as styling since I have naturally curly hair.
• When I do actually style it, I get to have the pretty waves seen above.
• My long hair is like a security blanket I can hide behind.

• It takes forever to straighten or curl it to get those beachy waves that I want.
• I have to lather it up with twice as much shampoo because my hair is so thick.
• It takes forever to dry.

• Not as much hair to work with.
• Easier to straighten and curl because there just isn't as much hair.
• It's quicker to blow dry.

• Since I have naturally curly hair, when I cut it short it looks like a sailboat.
• Short, naturally curly hair just doesn't look good on me.
• It makes me look like a child.
• Higher maintenance as far as style. If I want it to look good, I HAVE to style it.
• I can't put it in a cute bun on top of my head when I'm in a hurry.
• I miss my long hair.
