But it's getting to that point where it's Way Too Long. I'm really not a fan. Here's me at a party two weeks ago:
My personal opinion of this picture? I look gross. Something about my hair getting that long irks me; it looks slightly unkempt, which is especially frustrating because this is after I took a straightener to it. Which, at this length, it really dislikes the straightener idea. Sure, it'll look good for the first half hour. But once I decide to, I don't know, live my life, it frizzes and loses the nice, shiny straightness.
I've always had pretty long hair - that picture shows it basically at its longest. I love it, but it's at this point where it's just a little too long. Last year, during the spring semester of my sophomore year, I got my hair drastically cut for the first time in a while. Here's a picture about two months after getting it cut Super Short:
My hair doesn't grow too fast, so that's just about the length it was right after the cut, give or take an inch or two. I've recently been debating if I want to get it cut that short again. But I'm also considering making a compromise and going with the length that's kinda in between, but leaning more towards the shorter cut:
(Don't mind the ridiculous posing - it was a two-hour car ride to a part for fourteen-year-olds. But I digress.)
This picture represents exactly what I want my hair to look like every day. The debate, however, is triggered by the knowledge that if I go to the salon and only get it cut semi-short, it'll grow back pretty quick. As much as I'm not a super-huge fan of the short cut, I get plenty of growing-out time.
ON TOP OF ALL THAT. I've been considering layers. In the past, layers were intimidating, because layers = lots of styling necessary. Considering my morning routine in high school barely included brushing my hair - never mind styling it - layers were out. Basically because I was lazy. However. Now I have more time for (and less hatred towards) getting ready in the morning. So.. the question of the day is, layers or no layers? Never mind the fact that I don't know a thing about how long I should get them. Advice? Is it worth it? Or should I just stick with what I've got cause it works?

I don't know that layers would necessarily equal more work. I guess it depends on the look you're going for. My hair is very thick and wavy so I always have a few layers and then have it thinned with a razor. It's a long process! I'd say go to a salon you trust and ask them what they think about your ideas.
I say yes for layers. I have long hair, longer than yours now and it's straight. Layers help give your hair shape so it's not as flat and just kind of hanging there. I don't think it's much more work at all.
Definitely get layers though. I think you'd look great.
Some people get super, super texturized layers while having thick, wavy, or frizzy hair--and that's the kind of hair that requires a ton of styling. I think your hair, being straight and relative frizz-free, can handle some simple layering without needing constant blow-outs and straightening. I also think it would be HOTTNESSSSSS. :-P
