I always regret it when I cut my hair too short. It's curly and unpredictable. On particularly bad days, if it's long enough, I can put it up. If it's not long enough for that, I walk around all day feeling self-conscious.
Also, more length makes my curls nicer. And, I just don't think my face looks right with short hair.
This is me. Last summer I cut about 12 inches off my hair (from mid-back to just about shoulder length). I had really nice, corkscrew hair when it's long, but it was a disaster short - it didn't curl as much. Luckily, it was just long enough to put up in a ponytail and it's been that way ever since and I'm still waiting for it to grow out more. My face also looked super round/chubby with the shorter hair. Hopefully it goes better for you waterchurch!

My hair is curly and every time I cut it short ( shortest I've had is mid neck bob) I find it much harder to manage and unless you have the right kind of curls they may not look like that pic without a lot of work. Short vs long has a lot to do with hairtype I'd talk a lot with your stylist about what yo realistically expect and what you ca manage
I have naturally curly hair and have generally worn it long. A few months ago I had my stylist cut it short but just long enough to pull it back in a low ponytail, very similar to your photo, shorter in back. I love it. But I've been wearing it straight when I wear it down. The curl is just too unpredictable and if it lays a bit off, it looks bad.
I've also stopped washing it so much. I'm down to twice a week. And I do things like wash it, pull it back damp and then straighten it with a flat iron later in the day. Or even the next day. I've embraced dry shampoo.
Here it is short and straight, short and curly/wind blown, and how long and curly it used to be.
My hair is straight. I don't regret cutting it off. I like the way I look with longer hair -that is done well- better, but when I had long hair I never did it. I wore a ponytail every day. It was too easy for me to look like crap every day. Now with short hair, if I don't do anything to it, it still looks better than a ponytail. If I do it well it takes WAY less time than doing long hair, and it looks good, but not really good. If that makes any sense.
