I am a female college student, and I've been keeping my hair long because I am majoring in theatre, and I assume it's the best thing for acting in plays. However, I've always loved having my hair short. It's the most flattering way I could wear my hair, and I love that it's easier to fix. Plus my hair is really frizzy, so when it's long it's really tough to manage. It isn't as if I want to be a professional actor, but I might want to go to grad school in the future for a master's degree. I'm a junior right now. As superficial as it sounds, I feel like cute short haircuts are like a signature for me and I feel like a part of my personality is missing. On the other hand, I like the versatility that long hair gives me as far as acting goes. Should I cut my hair? (link)
This is a pretty superficial problem to have.

Your personality has nothing whatever to do with your appearance. You'd be just as lovely, or just as nasty, whatever the length of your hair.

Isn't long hair easier to fix because you can just tie it back? How does short, frizzy hair look "cute"? I think it would make you look like a boy with an afro, unless you spend a lot of time keeping it straightened and under control. That doesn't sound like low maintenance to me!

But if it's a pain in the neck long, and you prefer short, then as someone else mentioned, cut it and fall back on wigs. You mentioned you assume long hair is better - maybe ask a professor rather than assuming. That might decide it for you one way or the other.

If you have no plans whatsoever of being an actor, why are you planning on spending your college years majoring in theatre?

I'm sorry you're such a miserable person. Perhaps you shouldn't be giving advice. Try forums. There are lots of assholes like you in forums.
