Heavy Long Hair

It's time to get a haircut! It's been way too long and my hair is the longest it has been since I was 17.... maybe 15. I had this grand idea to grow out my hair and have fun with the long hairstyles. Then I got pregnant and developed this weird symptom of not being able to wear my hair down or have it touch my neck. I have survived 9 long months of wearing my hair up. After 2 weeks of being able to wear my hair down I discovered it is way too long (and heavy) to do anything with. Although I love having thick hair it requires a shorter hair style. Something shoulder length with a few layers or do I stay with semi-long hair and go for a 6 inch trim??? Choices, choices, choices.
