Post-Wedding Non-Chop

Lots of bees have done the "post-wedding chop" — after growing their hair out for the big day, they got out the scissors after the honeymoon to don a new (easier) look. Me? Well, I have straightened my naturally curly hair for about the last 7 years, and in doing so I have always kept it shorter so it was easier to straighten (but I no longer liked it curly while it was short — it created an unattractive triangle-head effect). Since growing my hair out a bit longer for the wedding, it became more time consuming to flat iron, so I started wearing it curly again and I've been getting lots of compliments. I'm still getting used to it and trying to decide if I like it, but since it's a little longer at least I don't look too much like a triangle-head.


Now I'm just not sure if I should keep growing it out and go back to my curly roots for good, or chop it off like all the other fabulous brides of Weddingbee past (and go back to my daily flat iron addiction, as well). One of the reasons I started straightening my hair to begin with was because when I turned 21 and started going to bars, I found that I was given a much harder time getting in with my curly hair — apparently it made me look younger. When I would straighten my hair, I would never have such a hard time, so when it came time to get a job post-college, I decided that the straight hair made me look a bit more mature. Now that I'm a little bit older (28 — what an old lady! ;-)) I guess I don't have to worry about that as much. And, Mr. Cupcake seems to like the curls (and he especially likes that I can get ready a lot faster when I go au naturale).

What do you think I should do? Keep letting it grow and stick with the curls, or follow the trend and chop-chop-chop?
