I have a friend who decided to allow her hair to go grey so she is actually getting her dyed blonde hair highlighted with grey so the grey grows in, it looks really pretty! The grey highlights are very bright so it all just blends in and she is growing out the grey roots. Shes using a purple colored shampoo too that enhances the grey and helps keep the blonde bits from being too yellow.

There's an old adage that says "Long hair makes a young girl look younger and an old girl look older." From my observation, it seems to be true. I'm 59 and the shorter it is, the younger I look.

i think you should wear it the way it looks best on you. me - ? looks best short & curly. perm every 6-8 weeks. pick & go.

Maybe...but I know that I got carded in town when I went to buy Vodka to make starch. And I am over 50... They are told to card anyone that they are not sure is over 35.

I have thin hair with cow licks and a hair line that looks like an ugly widows peak. Even when I was young and had long hair it didn't look good in a pony tail. The back is really short and I have bangs. If it wasn't for hairspray I would have no hair do at all. You know how little blond haired kids look when they wake up in the morning, that's me. I wish I could grow it long and pull it back but it just doesn't work. Some women can wear their hair longer as they age and some can't. Their is no certain age.

first of all, I love your dog.. My father used to have 5 beagles, (at the same time.. in N.Y.C.) and I loved them all.. secondly, as a youn girl, (19) I became a decided blonde... I decided it myself.. my mother hated it, but I was no longer at home... my dingy brown hair never surfaced again. Most of the time it was long, and very thin.. When I became 58, Thee was so much white in it, I let it go.... yes, it was all white by then. and still more than shoulder length, (so I could put it up, under my nurses cap) Now that I am 81, I got it cut shorter, and even though it is still baby thin, it tends to curl after my shampoo.... do I cut my hair? no, I let the beauty shop do it....(that's a joke, son...) I like this shorter hair now, just out of the shower, I squish it around a little, and let it air dry. Diana.

i have long thick curly hair... i can wash it & go.. if it short i have to '"do " it... so not interested in doing hair
@ 500 am b4 i leave for work..

so it will be long til i croak... cause i can always pull it up out of the way, tying it into a knot (with out pins or ponytail holder) and get it out of the way ..

Interesting adage. I guess that just confirms my feelings on long hair. I always wanted to look older!

Yes and in late 50's my hair seems thinner too so seems to have more body if short

ooooh....sore subject around here...

my EX MIL said that all Decent women over the age of 35 should not have hair past their collar!

I have always had long hair...not nearly as long as my DH would like right now, but longer that I want....I wear it pinned up 99% of the time, and wish I could just cut it off...but he fears that "butch dyke" look will happen so he asks that I NOT cut it any shorter...sigh...
