Cut it! or Grow it!

so i've been trying to grow my hair out forever. after having a baby, my hair is now what i'd consider long. the thing is, i'm not happy with it at all. i feel like i just look frumpy. i've lost my spunky cut style. i've tried getting layers cut in, and while it made it less of a triangle cut, it still looks frumpy to me. i don't want to be one of those people with it constantly in a ponytail, but i'm leaning towards that now because it just doesn't look nice down. my upper layers don't want to curl, i've lost all of my volume, and it just looks like i'm clinging to something that isn't working for me.
i thought about trying to get my "spunk" by changing the color up, but i don't have the money to maintain that anymore. my extra cash goes to diapers and daycare...
another thing that bothers me about this length that i totally forgot about is the shedding. it's SO obvious how much hair you loose a day. i find my hair EVERYWHERE. owen's diapers. owen's fingers. clumps in teh shower. all over my clothes. i know i shed more now that i'm not pregnant, but damn this is annoying...
i just want to feel good about myself and my hair again....
i don't have any pictures of it long....but i have pictures in there of it short. just picture it longer, with bangs, and not as curly...kinda hangs there...less volume
so, i ask you....
cut it? or grow it?

Hair type: 3b/c
plus, we just moved, and our new house has a water softener...so my hair is behaving quite differently now, and i think i'm overdoing it on the products because i'm used to fighting the weighted down hair due to hard water deposits. now, i think less is more, because my hair gets weighted down by product instead.
this morning, i used a little less of everything, and my hair looks pretty darn good. more volume. more curls overall...
i think i just need to have the patience to get past this length...it'll start hanging long behind my shoulders more, and it'll be a beautiful cascade of curls...
if the good curls hold up, i'll take pictures tonight so you guys can see how long it is now....
nice to know i look cute with the short hair, though!
I think you will be glad you decided not to cut it off,if you have a good routine already its not really that much more of a time investment :^)
Good luck whatever you decide...your son is soooo cute!
