I have had long hair down to the middle of my back for the past 3 years.  Two weeks ago, I decided on impulse (thought about it for about 2 days) to cut it all off…very short (a short bob).  I LOVE it and the low maintenance!  It is liberating to be free of all that heavy hair.  I also love wearing funky earrings, and this way they are more visible.
