uberlou's advice column

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?

You should go with what you think works best for you. I think you should go ahead and cut your hair short if you want. As far as being an actress, if you have the talent, then that'll matter more. There are many actresses that use extensions or wigs for roles and such. I dunno why they wouldn't be able to do the same for you.

Also, as already said, your hair will grow back if you change your mind. Best of luck!

(Rating: 5) Thanks. Sometimes the talent matters more... but that depends on whose doing the casting. lol
