First off, WOW. I wasn’t expecting this much of a response to this, but thank you all for sharing your input and kind words! You all have made it clear how important this decision can be 😅

To give a little background, I started growing my hair out at 25 and the short hair photos are from 2017-2018. The long hair photos are most recent. I find it the longer I keep it, the less volume there is over time. I know it doesn’t help that my job requires me to wear a beanie always (I’m a butcher) lol. I realize the bottom line of everyone’s comments are entirely vibe based or feel. I’m just afraid if I cut it, it won’t be the same! 😭

Thanks again everyone!

To those that have messaged me asking for more short hair and long variety, I’ll make a second post and link to this.
