Im with Glamour, go for a fringe and wispy sides, or change color. Lowlights or hilites are always good cause they dont have to be re-done every 4 weeks. Or get it cut to the middle of your back and ask the hairdresser to teach you a quick up-do. Really long hair is too hard to do anything with cause its too heavy.
Because my hair is so disgustingly thick (seriously, hairdressers are always astounded by it) I find getting my hair thinned out to within an inch of it's life makes doing my hair soooooooooo much easier. Even when it is longer it is easier to put up, easier to style, straighten, everything. And, I usually get a few layers put in just to make it a little different.
I had all mine chopped off so it's like a Gretel Killeen style. I have super thick wavy hair and it just annoyed me all the time having to do it and now I give it a quick spray with water in the mornings and comb it and I'm ready to go - 2 minutes tops. But if I am going out anywhere for the day or at night I will blowdry it with some product and fluff it up a bit and it still only takes 10 minutes. 6 months ago I had it a bit longer because I toyed with the idea of growing it out, but just to straighten it and make it look half presentable took the best part of 30 minutes.
I have a super easy short hair cut. After having long hair for 8 years, I took the plunge and LOVE it. I was very honest with the hairdresser that I would do NO styling, don't even own a hair dryers and don't use styling products. I wash my hair and then comb it and that's it. I think it probably depends on your hair dressers and also your type of hair. I have a side part at the front, and it is long enough to tuck behind my ears, it is short, quite short, at the back with short layers in it. It can't go up in a pony tail. It is great!
