I would leave it since at least can tie up or use a headband to push up all the extra strands. If you cut it shorter, cannot tie, put headband also dangling like mane even worse 🥶. And you definitely want to keep your hair tied up when you start shedding. I had butt length hair during shedding period and I felt like as if I ate 3 packets of maggi seasoning for every meal looking at the amount of hair everywhere (also don’t forget the crazy heat, I would go bald if I had the balls LOL!). 😮💨
