Work + Long Hair = Should I get a Pixie/Bob?

Jul 29, 2012

Awhile ago I asked everybody if I should cut off my gross and dead ends, and majority of the comments told me to do. So now my hair is at least 8inches shorter, give or take.

Now I come to the problem where I can barely do a ponytail with out little pieces falling out every second. Basically my head is decorated by bobby pins.

I work full time and go to school full time. At work I must wear my hair up completely not even my bangs can be out, and then a hair net. (Which I don't mind) But I work over night and would have to head to my classes straight from work. I can style my hair somedays when classes start later. But most days my classes start at 8.

My crisis is finding a updo that can cleanly transfer to a down do. or an up do that will look very clean and put together for classes. If I'm not able to find hair styles like this I was wondering if I should just cut it short, something that I could style before work and touch up after.

Any Ideas?

P.s. my style includes alot of blazers,nice blouses, and dresses; a ponytail just won't do
