Long vs. Short (input needed)

#1So my hair is starting to get REALLY long, which my husband loves by the way...however because of the little one seated on my lap pulling my hair and taking most of my time, my hair generally looks like this (except maybe on Sundays and other special occassions):
#2I do have to admit, I have always had really easy hair. It curls, it straightens, it does just about anything I want it to really except take care of itself. However, lately it has been driving me crazy and I've threatened to shave it all off several times. Since I am nursing Kelsie I also shed like a mad dog. Logan even hates finding hairs everywhere. He freaks out if he finds a hair on him.

I feel like I am just in need of something different...maybe even keeping it longer with a different style? the only problem is there isn't very many different styles with longer hair, except color, but that gets pricey if you want to keep it up. So what to do? I thought I'd share some pictures of hairstyles past and open the blog up for opinions! Let me know what you would do if you were me. I've gone shorter (but not boy short), darker, highlights, longer, in-between, etc. Note: Please ignore the fact that I'm pregnant or just had a baby in most of these pictures!

#6 and #8 are my favorites. I am sure you will look great whatever you decide.

Brigette said...

I like 7 and 8 but they almost look like the same cut (8's a tad longer, right?). :)

You know I am a short hair kind of girl...
But I LOVE your hair long. If I had your hair I would keep it long. You could add some layers and take a few inches off the length, but I think it looks really good right now.
Of course you look good with short hair, too....I would definitely understand if you cut it.

Ya...I had highlights in the black & white one, but I guess you can't see them since its B&W. :)

6 and 8 are good, but i love your hair long. i have always had hair envy of you. if you chop it off it will look perfect as usual

Shannon said...

Your hair looks great long and short! I'm all about cutting off hair during the heat of the summer! I just chopped mine and I am so much cooler! So, I'd go for the cut! It'll always grow back, right?

Lacey said...

I love short hair, but I always envy people who have gorgeous long hair. I think I agree with most everyone that #6 and #8 are my favorites.

Kurt Keyser said...

My vote is the only one that counts. Ya'll can stop now. Long it is. Layered if ya like, inch or two off, but long it stays.

If ya don't like it long, shave it off. All of it.

Well Rachel, I am a fan of #7 even though Kurt has spoken and it sounds final:) If you're looking for something really simple, I had a fabulous buzz cut in college that is sure to make Kurt cry. But really your hair looks great long or short so you can't really lose!

Robin said...

I've said it once and I'll say it again, you have babelicious hair. You ALWAYS have. I've never seen it not looking perfect, which is amazing. Your hair grows really fast too! It's amazing. My favorite short haired pic is #4, but it looks awesome long. I only wear my hair down on Sundays and special occasions because kids grab it, it gets in the way, it makes me sweat, so... yeah. I'm going through the same conundrum as you... short and nice all the time or long. Hard decision. :)

I think #1 or #7 are the cutest...love them both! Isn't being a girl fun--too many darn choices! =)

Lisa said...

I am rooting for #4, your hair was adorable at that length, and with layers it looks great curly, straight, curled, or whatever! Definitely my pick for you! You are gorgeous no matter what you do!

Adriann said...

I like 4 and 7.

Noa and Tanya Tuitavuki said...

Hey Rachel!

I have to be honest and agree with Kurt! I am a fan of long hair. Obviously mine is long, too, but I end up wearing it back a lot, too like you. I think it is worth it, though when I do wear it down, I still really like it. As does Noa. He agrees with Kurt, too! So in short, we both say you are hot with long hair. Not that you wouldn't be hot with short hair, too! And by the way, I love the color that you dye it also, so sorry! but I wouldn't change a thing!!

Noa and Tanya Tuitavuki said...

Oh so I guess we root for Picture #1!!!!

Alyse said...

I think you look cute with all of them. Long hair is fun, but it can be annoying sometimes, especially when grabby baby hands get ahold of it -- ouch! I really liked the cut you had when you were pregnant with Kelsie -- I think it was by that guy in Fremont? I also like 5,7 and 9. Dark looks good on you!

That is so funny Kurt wants you to have long hair -- he's just like Aaron who says to me, "Keep in long and blond!" I had no idea they cared so much.

Seriously, what is UP with loosing TONS of hair while nursing. I'm shedding like crazy too.

Aimee said...

I like 7. If you're going short.
