I don’t blame you feeling a bit weirded out about a group of people making an issue about your personal choices regarding your hair. I think I’d no longer want to waste my time around people like that, or I’d have some humorous way of shutting that conversation down immediately.

I retired and moved and lost my hairdresser. Two years later, my hair is down my back. I love it! I can put it up in a bun without looking. No money spent on trims. I bought some tortoise shell hair pins and I am good to go.


sorry biscuitmom


we could have an interesting conversation about what it means in our society when women are expected to "put their hair up", what it means when a woman lets her hair down, religions where women are expected to cover their hair, etc...... but I am ready for bed.

Yes, the only important question is why do you care.
Otherwise ask the mod to move this to fashion&beauty.

You use that word but I don't think "interesting" means what you think it means...

It's come up in other tbreads, one in which people gave very strong opinions on women's hair length.

With long, I had to visit my hairdresser every month! And stress over hair products.

I don't think it's as much as the color as the style.

I've seen many women with grey or even white hair who are very attractive, and whom their hair looks good on.

Well, I have short hair, but I've had short hair since I was in my 30's. I have thin, wavy (but not pretty-wavy) hair that just looks horrible long; plus long hair doesn't look particularly good with my facial shape. I get a lot of compliments on my haircut; it's not at all masculine.
