Hairy Issues

A couple of weeks ago I got my hair colored by a friend who is going through beauty school and needed hair to "practice" on. She did a great job (3 hours worth) with my hair, I really do love the color. She did a weave and it is (in my opinion) one of the best color jobs that I have had done. (Sorry, Aimee---but our high school days of coloring my hair was not really the best--but, what great memories we made of that!)
I really need to write in a praise note to my beauty school friend, so that she can show it off to her instructors--because she did a great job!

HOWEVER, I am still ending up wearing my hair up almost all the time. I don't know if it is because...

• I don't wash it everyday
• I have a baby (nuff' said with that one)
• No time for styling
• It is easy to just put it up
• Not sure what to do with it
  

...so, with this predicament, I want to show off my new colors, but at the same time I keep wearing it up.

I think to myself, "Should I cut it, so that I can't put it up. That way I am forced to style it?"

OR

Should I just leave it long (like my husband loves) and make time to wash it everyday and style it?
