Short Hair Actress
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?

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?

there are high quality wigs for just this reason. don't feel bad, some girls look freakin awesome with short hair. like Nike, but she has wings, and I'm sure you don't want that big of a makeover.
have fun

Cut it.
If it makes you feel more like you, cut it. As far as the acting goes, use wigs. You can get cheap, natural looking wigs easily now. I can't style my hair due to joint problems and i wear wigs all the time, if the style didn't change so often, no-one'd know.
If you want short hair, go for it.

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!

It sounds like you really rather prefer short hair on yourself. Longer hair may be more versatile, but if you think that short hair flatters you most, get it cut. You can always just grow it back.
Hope this helps,
