When I was 29 I still had fairly long hair halfway down my back. At 30 I suddenly decided, what was I thinking?, that it was time to have shorter hair because 'older' women shouldn't have long hair. Yeah, like 30 is old. But that's what I thought so I cut it all off and for the next 27 years my hair was short in that Dorothy Hamill style. I had been coloring since I was 18 and I didn't want to spend a lot of time with curlers or fancy styles. I just wanted Wash and Wear Blow and Go. Last August I suddenly thought it was time to try long hair again and I started to let it grow -- until last week. I reached that one day when I was just tired of it--too much work even keeping it up. Back to the short style again. Just a hair longer than the old style but still bottom of my jawline. Back to comfy, easy to take care of hair.
