Hair change

[jennythereader]

I'm thinking of doing something new and different to my hair. Either dying it an unusual color, or cutting it short.

Both have advantages and disadvantages:

Dye

Pros:

1. Easier to undo/cover up if I don't like it
2. Will wear/wash out relatively quickly
   

Cons:

1. My hair has never been any other color, so I don't know how I'd look

Cut

Pros:

1. I already know that I look pretty good with shorter hair

Cons:

1. I've had short hair before, so it doesn't really count as doing something new and different.
2. If I do go with a very different style, instead of the same basic style only chin length instead of mid-back length, I'll be stuck with it for months.  If I hate it, that would suck.

What do you guys think?

EDIT  Any males out there who have an opinion?  If you do, I'd like to hear it.

You have pretty hair the way it is.

What sort of things would you want to be able to do with your hair? This may effect cutting and styling choices.

That is of course the problem with long hair. We find one style or way of fixing our hair that works well, and stick with it forever...

Not sure about coloring... colors that will still look natural are likely to be too subtle to constitute a BIG change.

When I want it out of the way I put it in a ponytail, and sometimes I clip it up when I want to be a little dressy.

If it's short just getting it out of the way won't be an issue.

There are actually a couple of styles that I like better when my hair is shorter. Headbands and scarves among them.
