I used to have long hair down to my butt and have always thought of chopping it all off but it was sooo easy having it long. The only PITA was the shampoo, conditioning and sleeping with it. Not a bad trade off considering that when you wake up, scratch balls, brush hair, teeth, put on clothes and out the door I go.
Now I got the "coiffed do" as I shaved my head about 7 years ago as my sister was going through chemo and she lost her beautiful locks and I gave her mine for a wig. Meanwhile, she shaved hers as well to save herself the heartache of losing hers and gave me her hair which surprised me when I presented her with mine. It was like she knew what I was doing for her.
I was growing it back and dammit, the greys started coming out in droves at the age of 28. I decided to keep it short as salt and pepper short hair looks a bit more extinguished, I mean distinguished, than long grey hair with the odd black strands. I tried dying it a few times but it never looks or feel the same. Besides, it was too much trouble...LOL.
IMHO, you'd look fine with long or short hair. Good luck in your decision. It's a toughie
