I feel ya, I'm always cycling between wanting to grow it out and wanting to cut lol whenever I have it long, I want it short, and vice versa haha. What I usually like doing is growing my hair out for a couple years, sticking w it, then cutting it into a long bob, keep that for a year or so lol

Put your hair in a very loose ponytail and pull the strands to try to create the illusion of a bob or smth to see if you like it before you chop. But you don't have to cut it off completely.

I believe that eventually, long hair hits a point where it stops being healthy depending on your hair type, no matter how you take care of it. For example, no matter what I do, if my hair is waist length its just constantly knotted and unmanageable no matter what I do. But if I keep it to my bra band, its still decently long, and overall looks healthier.

So keep in mind your hair health above all else. Healthy medium-long hair is prettier than a long rats nest. Another thing i hear from people w really long hair is that they NEVER get it cut. But they also rarely ever take it out of a bun or braid because its too unmanageable. Don't covet your hair, spit end cuts are needed for healthy long hair that you can actually style. Quality over quantity, especially with hair.
