Long Hair vs Short Hair

OK.... so I got my hair cut.

It is a little shorter then I wanted it to be.

I told my stylist to cut it like she did a few months ago...

Here is how she cut it in Feb:

Guess what? she cut it way shorter, I guess I should have been more detailed in my description.

My new cut:

Now I am thinking that I am going to grow it out again. I have been having this battle for years, I cut my hair short then grow it out for 2 years, just to cut it all off again:

Here is my hair exactly a year ago:

Here is the thing, I love long hair, I think it is very pretty.

In fact.. I dream that my hair looked like this when I get up in the morning:

However, it is a pain to style.

My hair is wavy (not the pretty wavy), So I have to blow dry, straighten and then style it.

It took me at least 15-20 minutes just to do my hair! And if I wanted curls, that's at least another half hour on top of that! I just didn't have time for that anymore.

If we are going somewhere, I have 2 kids to get ready, diaper bag to pack, snacks to prepare, etc.. So I barely have time to get ready let alone do my hair.

So I decided to cut it. Now it takes me like 5 minutes to style my bob.

One more thing. I was looking for pictures to use with my long hair, guess what? The one above was one of like 2 where I had my hair down. In all the other pictures, I put my hair in a pony tail or bun because it always gets in face and bothers me.

In a pony tail while visiting family in MO:

In a pony tail at the beach:

In a pony tail at the pumpkin patch:

In a pony tail at my baby shower:

So.. whats the point of having long hair, If I am going to hide it in a pony tail all the time?

But for some reason I still want beautiful long hair. Even though it is a pain.

So, I think I am going to try and grow it out again, and make myself style and leave it down! Ha! we will see how it goes..

So what do you prefer? Short or long hair?

Has your hair style changed since you became a mom?
