And I really hate having it on my neck--it's a bit past my shoulders in length now but I always keep it pulled up with my hat on. The hat also keeps it out of my face, since it is not able to stay that way on its own, and I hate having it in my face and all over. I've tried having it cut short too and that was, well, not so good. Someone get me a razor!
Hey--sounds like you have the samre problem I used to! My hair is thin, baby fine, and there's not that much of it. I used to keep it long and in a ponytail but it looked bad. Finally I got the courage to get it cut short...but I think you have to be careful about what hairstyle you choose. I went through several books before I found one that would work with my face shape and the color, thickness, and lack of my hair..XD

It takes a little time in the mornings to style it (all I use is a tacky but wonderful smelling gel stuff, and my hands and a brush, and a round brush for the sides) but it looks MUCH better than keeping it long. Perhaps you should look through a style book and compare your own facial shape and hair type with those used in the pictures--believe me, I saw some that I loved--but if I'd tried getting them, I would have looked ridiculous.

Maybe you should sit down and look through a hairstyle website to try and find your face shape and hair type..? That way you can find the best style for you. If nothing else, short hair--in a generic hairstyle--is easier to care for.
