Quick one about hair (pics)

Oh my goodness, you're lovely!

I think your hair suits you perfectly just as it is. Lovely colours and in such beautiful condition. Elegant up and relaxed down. If I were you I wouldn't change a thing. I'd say you were in your 40s if you hadn't given your age.

You've inspired me to up my hair and make up game.

If you do have it cut will you show us after photos please?

Lovely hair AuntieEleanorsCat - is that your natural colour?

Yes, I think a jaw-length bob with a not-too-thick fringe would suit you, longer than that of the model.

I also have long hair which is very thick...I wear it in a bun most days...2 years ago I decided to get it cut into a bob...It was lovely leaving the hairdresser but omg it was hard work for me trying to dry it and then straighten it with my ghds...If I get it cut again it will be a pixie cut...

I had my chin length bob cut into a "Judi Dench" style about six weeks ago, and it has transformed my look. I'm 78, by the way, with problems in my shoulders which make looking after my hair difficult. I have very fine, thin hair, which you are very lucky not to have,but, with the additional use of a tiny amount of Small Talk thickening cream which someone on here recommended, it looks great and is very easy to look after. I say take the plunge!

Go shorter gradually. You have lovely thick hair and the colour suits you. Have a few inches off and if you like it keep it . If not you have a choice of going shorter or letting it grow.

Adele!!! I bet she’d be thrilled, poor love ?

We wish nothing but the best for you-ooo...
Honestly, you'd look great with a tea cosy on your head.
I do think a choppy bob would look fab, though.

Although long is nice, when it's in as good a condition as yours.

Sago

I have to disagree with Aldom I think the OP looks fabulous.

yes, so do I, what wonderful hair.
If you want to make a change AuntEleanorsCat then try a fringe or a side swept fringe before you go for a cut.
a bob can look very severe on an older woman.

Last time I went @snowberryZ I had layers cut in last time. (See pic). It’s made my hair feel a bit thin at the front. I’ve fine hair but loads of it.

@J52!!!! Yes I have a massive regal head. On a bad day, when tired, it’s just a very long ageing landscape of sleep creases and wrinkles!

@Phillippa111 I need a new hairdresser I think. We’ve gotten used to each other and a bit lazy. I go for the same thing each time then half an hour after it’s done, it’s scraped back under a cap!

@Nanna58, yes I feel it’s pulling an often tired face down further.

Thanks for the kind compliments. Love Diane Keaton’s hair. Can’t go too short as in pixi as I have a wrinkly chin and ears now! What’s THAT about!? ??‍♂️ Also, did pixi in 2016 (pic)

Not fishing for hair compliments. Genuinely have had a lifetime of “do’s” and can’t decide. Looking for a regular bob one.

Not “Regal” head! Long FORE head ?

I wonder what Meryl Streep has, these days?
You have a similar face.

My hair is so easy if it's very short and in fact that's how I chose my username ?

But it suits me a bit longer.

a bob can look very severe on an older woman
Is that why children run away screaming when they see me?

This?

Callistemon21 ???

Like the colour of that hair but a bit unruly looking for me. I’d have that behind my ears inside of two mins, post salon.

Love Ms Streep. Fabulous hair for her face shape.

Just looked at some recent Meryl pics, and her hair is just like yours!
Either pushed back, long and wavy, or tied up.
Back to the drawing board.

Why shouldn't a cut like this suit you - or anyone, any age, any size?

Love your hair as it is. The first photos taken from that angle and your expression give the wrong impression. I’m sure you look youthful in real life.
You look older in the 2016? photo.
Don’t have the ubiquitous Karen bob, so many women feel they must go short at a certain age.

P.S. I meant the layered shorter as ageing.

??? A tea cosy!!! Not a bad idea.

I woke up this morning with what I thought was a spot. No… Bloody shingles. Again.

Fantastic. Might need a balaclava or full on gimp mask by next week!

Swine ?

This is what I have and like I think you need some hair on your forehead

Whoops forgot the photo

Oh no shingles is horrible AuntieElenor I hope you get better soon ?

Yes, I think a bob would suit you. You’ve got a good bone structure and beautiful hair. Do ask hairdresser for advice though. And please smile!
