DeAnna... cut it... and get a spiffy new style that will make you feel and look years younger. You will really enjoy having a LIGHT head and not having headaches from pony tails.
I know it's very easy as women to get attached to our hair and long hair at that.
I think you will be surprised at how much better you will look with an actual style for your hair.
Good luck and post up pictures after you get it done!
