sarah, i went and got mine chopped just over a week ago - had been thinking about it for a while - but having one arm in a sling and pretty much useless, i just said "chop it!"

i now have shorter hair that is much easier to manage single handedly - and i love it!

make sure you don't go too drastic as the others have said though - small steps otherwise you might hate it and be frightened of trying something again another day!
