I had short hair for a long time before I started dancing and I've been growing it out since last year. Right now it's a bit past shoulder length, longer when I occasionally straighten it. Most days at work, I just let it do its own thing, it's naturally straight with just a little bit of wave to it, and I don't feel like it requires a lot of effort when it's long. But I'm getting bored with it. If I let it grow out a bit longer I was thinking of starting to curl it again, which I thought looked really good when I used to do it, but since my hair is naturally straight it takes a long time and doesn't hold up very well, even with a lot of hair spray. I don't want to have to be constantly fixing it throughout my shift. I was also thinking of cutting it again, probably not super short but maybe chin length, and maybe a bit shorter in the back so I can kind of spike it a little bit/give it a messy look (that was my first short hairstyle and I really liked it), but I want to keep some hair around my face, because I have a very round face and I feel like very short hair makes me look too much like jailbait. No one else I work with has short hair, which makes me kind of nervous to do it but I also feel like maybe having a different look would give me an advantage, especially since I also have piercings and tattoos and wear a lot of black at work.
What do you guys think? Any other dancers with short hair, and how does it work for you? And for those with long hair, if it's straight like mine do you feel like it makes any difference to curl it or style it in some way or do customers like it as is? I'm just getting very bored with my hair and want more of a style but I'm not sure which way to go.
