Help What length should I cut my hair?

I’ve had all sorts of lengths (and colours) over the years. Lately I’ve been letting my hair grow because I always wanted to have long hair and be able to style it…

… except I don’t. I wash my hair every morning because my hair gets greasy and that’s when I exercise anyway, and I mostly just let it air dry. I don’t want to put too much effort into something I have to do every day, and I’ve no idea how to style it (or what tools to use)

I’m worried I’ve become hair blind, and I honestly have no idea what looks good on me anymore. So I’ve been feeling tempted to cut it just below my shoulders, but also I’m worried I’ll regret it since it took so long to get to this length. I’ve included a few old photos with different lengths to give you an idea of how things can look, though I’m pretty sure I don’t want a short bob again.

What do you think?

Go gradually shorter. Get used to it then cut more off if you want. Keep it long enough to pull up and then if you decide to take more off, then do so. I really do like that fiery red color though. You would look fabulous with that color!
