My hair has a will of its own Dead straight and falls in a neat circle around my whole head, face included. Therefore I always have a fringe because if I do not my hair just falls forward anyway, obscuring my view and I also have a short neck, which again doesn't work well with long hair, so perforce I have short hair. It has been short since my late teens. The exact style has varied.
Nowadays I do avoid the pixie cut so beloved of older women, especially if their hair is white. Not sure how to describe my current style. Essentially let it fall and then cut round the edges to keep it off my face and out of my soup.
I sat in a cafe today and across the room I saw this tall slim lady, in casual trousers and a bright yellow serious sports quilted jacket, lovely long silver hair, thick and well cut. From her face, she was at least 70 and she looked great. A 30 year old could have been identically dressed and coiffed and struggled to look as good.
