protective style??

i'm thinking of doing a protective style, but at the same time i think i will just end up depressed because i love playing with my hair! my reason, because i'm starting to feel as if i trimmed to much off my hair when i went deadly with the scissors last week. i've had twists in since yesterday and will be taking them out today, so i think the will determine if i do a protective style or not. i kinda already leaning towards not because i dont want to break my hair off. we shall see.
