to cut or not to cut?

garebear a few months ago with short hair

garebear now with long hair

so, the question is should i cut it or leave it longer? i've let it get this long out of fear. fear that he's going to throw a huge tantrum if i even try to get scissors next to his head. (he's been known to do that in the past) i dare not even take him to the hairstylist because he would probably end up attacking her/him. so, it's long and i think it looks cute, but it's hot and he has a lot of hair that sometimes makes him hot and miserable. what to do, what to do? you tell me, what a ya think, to cut or not to cut?
