Cut hair or keep long?

As I cannot decide!!!
I've had an inverted bob (below chin at front and short at back for years) and I'm trying to decide whether to go back to that or just have a reshape and keep the length
It's grown a fair bit as my hairdresser is booked up

No idea but you’ve got great hair!

Vthirtyone · 11/11/2021 15:56

Love the length and the curl has remained really beautiful. Keep it long

MovinOnUp · 11/11/2021 15:57

It's gorgeous both ways.
But if it being long doesn't cause you much more work then keep it long.

Barwell76 · 11/11/2021 15:57

Keep it long. The curls are great. I love your hair!

NotMyCat · 11/11/2021 15:58

It's awkward either way Grin I have some hair loss and it's actually very fine too so the curl drops

You have stunning hair! I love it long but both look good because you have such gorgeous hair.

Universeandeverything · 11/11/2021 15:59

I love it long.

Aquamarine1029 · 11/11/2021 16:01

Long, definitely.

Imhereforthecake · 11/11/2021 16:03

Long!! My sister has curls like you - always been envious!

NotMyCat · 11/11/2021 16:04

Interesting so far
Have a family member annoying me to cut it before i "get too old"

I love short hair - I think it suits a lot more faces than people think.

But you have beautiful hair.

Keep it and ignore any dodgy advice about hair&age.

Cut them out before you get too old instead Wink
NotMyCat · 11/11/2021 16:09

Should add I have a round face and many chins hence why I've always kept it longer at the front than back Blush

Long!

gunnersgold · 11/11/2021 16:13

How old are you? I have similar hair but blonde and thicker . I'm 47 and I'm keeping it long . I'm not sure how long for but I think short curly hair is very child like and looks weird as you get older so I have no idea what I'll do when my face starts to age ! 🙈

Keep the length. I’m envious - the longer mine gets, the less curly it becomes.

Pokemonpoolparty · 11/11/2021 16:21

I have curly hair and feel the same about my hair. I always think it looks nicer longer. But, it's a lot of hard work and effort to keep it looking good. That usually I can't be arsed with. So it looks crap and I tie it back lots.

I think between my chin and just touching my shouldes is my acceptable low maintenance limit.

MarshmallowsOnToast · 11/11/2021 16:21

It's beautiful long!

WaitinginVain · 11/11/2021 16:24

You do have amazing hair either way but personally I like it long and would keep it that way.
I've had the same background mutterings about cutting my hair from when I was about to hit 30. 51 now, best feature and its going nowhere Grin.

Foxglovesandlilacs86 · 11/11/2021 16:26

Oh god you have amazing hair! I love it!

Looks good either way Smile

Ignore that family member and recommend they go to specsavers Grin Your hair is gorgeous embrace it.
MoltonSilver · 11/11/2021 16:27

Leave it long. It's stunning. I'd love to have her like that.

Bluntness100 · 11/11/2021 16:30

Long, you’ve gorgeous hair, my daughters is the same, hers is now down to her chest, although when straight it’s nearly waist length, it’s that curly. It’s gorgeous and everyone comments on it, she’s the girl with the hair 😍

So yup, long.

gunnersgold · 11/11/2021 16:40
