I need your opinion...

Some of you may have noticed I've added a poll to the right on my blog. That's because I need your opinion. I chopped my hair off about 7 months ago and love it! It doesn't take as long to dry. And it's so...stylish compared to just long and straight. But I also love it long. Part of the reason I like it long is because my hair is naturally wavy/curly. When it is short, the curly does not work well. And frankly, it knocks a good 30 minutes off my morning routine. Part of me thinks I am needing some long, curly hair again. But the short is cute, too. See...this is why I need your opinion. I've put two pictures up: one with my current short hair (and actually, it's longer than this right now because my hairdresser had a baby and I don't trust anyone else ot cut it, but if I were to cut it, this is what I would do) and one with my hair last summer a month before I chopped it off. It was sooo long. I didn't realize it was that long! So check out the pictures, and vote.

go with your gut! whatever makes you happy. I like both. your eyes really pop in the first photo, but I can't tell if that's just the photo or your haircut! I LOVE long hair period, so I am a fan of the long hair too. okay, I've made up my own mind...grow it out girl!

I like you in both pictures :)Although I love long hair I like the fist picture more, maybe because I've never had short hair.. I would say: go with short :)

This is a hard one..you look awesome in both pics. I am partial to short hair but only because I know how much easier it is to fix it and make it look nice. Do whatever makes you feel more like you! I am not much help! :)

My vote is for short hair! (In my opinion) Long hair makes you look way younger, and with a petite frame, it can look too young. I have the same problem!!

Go short sister!!! I love it short on you...I think is frames your face super well and just gives you a "gorgeous sophisticated" look!!

I know..wasn't the birthday cake awesome?!!? Micah's sister Rachel made it!!! She took a pic off the internet and pretty much replicated it to the T!! She is one of those creative gurus that make everything they touch magical ;) Wish I had just a little of that..I am totally creative deprived!

Hey Ashley! While you look great with both long and short, I vote for short. Sorry to your hubby (his post was hysterical!)

You do look very cute in both pics. I DO HOWEVER LOVE SHORT HAIR & I THINK IT LOOKS GREAT ON YOU! However...your husband must love it too! =) My vote...SHORT!

My vote is short...sorry Jim! Ash, you're beautiful regardless but with 2 kids at home, there's something to be said for shaving time off your morning routine! Plus when it's short it has more body and just looks cute and trendy. I will be chopping mine once spring rolls around!

i say short... sorry... it really suits you...anyone can have long locks easily, but style comes with shorter, very cool hair!!!! but i will add that personally i do not think that lnog hair looks that good on very many older women, so if you want to do long at all, do it now!!! sorry for the contradiction... i like you best in short... men and there obession with long, my hubby wanted my to be long when we were younger and i let it grow and wore it up the whole ummmm let me see 5-6 years it was long... i mean i never wore it down, ever...!! ha ha... toooooooomuch trouble with three and four children!!!sorry so long i have a big opinion here... lol
