I echo Pittcity - it's what I tend to do. And as for whether you did the right thing over the long, hot summer, I would say you did the best thing! Long hair can be tied up, and kept away from the forehead and neck. Shorter hair, on the other hand, has to stay there. I remember a holiday in the Greek islands some years ago when I'd decided to cut my long hair into a chin length bob. Boy did I regret that in the Mediterranean heat! Too short to tie back really, but I actually resorted to putting it in too ridiculous looking paintbrush pigtails because I couldn't bear it
