Just got 5" cut off my hair and I couldn't be happier. I have had it long, short and in between. The longest I have had it in the past few years was right below shoulder length, which is what I just cut off. It is now a stacked bob, short in the back hovering around ear length and chin length in the front. I can wear it straight, curly or wavy, parted in the side or parted in the middle. The only thing I can't do with it is make it a springy little ponytail and that is quite possibly the only thing I will miss about my long hair.
