MiniMoon my fringe hasn't touched my eyebrows for years!

As my hair grew after my "Brave the Shave" for MacMillan, it reached a sort Jamie Lee Curtis stage, which I loved, so go for it!

Ahhh! ?? but where are your nipples, Luckygirl ?
Under your chin or nearer your knees?
We don't know how long your hair is until you're more specific ???

I have short hair in a sort of pixie cut. It's getting a bit shaggy so on Tuesday I'm having it cut. I'm going to try to convince my hairdresser to cut it like Jamie Lee Curtis, or maybe shorter.
As I get older I have less and less patience with doing my hair. If my fringe touches my eyebrows I can't stand it!?

Luckgirl I went from almost waist length, to shoulder length, then short, in theory low maintenance! However, more frequent visits to the salon might disprove that grin But stopping colouring sort of counter balances that.

Sometimes I think I would love long hair again (be great just to plait it and let it hang!) but the growing out puts me off.

PS "Sophisticated"!!!! Not me!

MOnica, please stop being so picky. I was complimenting Sheila Hancock. This country has gone too far with political correctness.

I have nipple-length hair and every now and again threaten myself with the idea of hacking it all off; but I hate being dependent on hairdressers' whims and idiosyncrasies. Whenever I have been to a hairdresser, I come back and wash my hair and try to get it to look remotely as I wish it to. At least with this mop I can tie it up, plait it etc. in moments and then forget about it.

I am sure that you look very sophisticated phoenix. I salute your bravery! smile

Because some people in their 60's let alone 80's are dead from the neck down, M0nica.

In fact you can go younger than 60's judging what I see around and about.

Nothing ageist imo M0nica , some people in their 80's are not active or bright as a button, you only have to read some of the threads/posts on here about parents of that she to see that!

Liz46, your comment about Sheila Hancock, could almost be considered ageist. Why should it be remarkable that she is active and entirely with it in her 80s?

I like Judy Dench's hair. I wish mine could be like that but it is very fine. She's good for her age isn't she. Sheila Hancock is great too - in her eighties and bright as a button.

Hello all, sending good wishes to those that could do with them.

Well, just back from the haidressers, and I now have a cut more like Judy Dench smile

Although my hair has been short for ages, until today it was short at the back and sides, but I was letting it get longer on top.

I wanted a change, so went for it!

My hair grows like a weed, even my hairdresser says she has never known hair grow so fast, so if I decide to change it, it won't take long.

On the other hand, if I decide to keep it like this, I could be getting it cut pretty frequently!
