I guess I’m old fashioned
I will never get a pixie cut. Most men like longer hair.
What a difference a dress and makeup makes!
That’s too long for a pixie.
That is more of a Swiffer haircut.
I’ve tried so many shampoos, but have never found one that works with my hair. Mr. T seems to be able to use anything, and his hair always looks perfect. If I don’t completely blow-dry my hair, I look like a budding Rastafarian. It’s kind of funny.
Emmy Lou recently had her hair cut. She was on the cover of some guitar magazine, and although I always liked her hair long, she looks very nice.
Good for you!
My hair is long (below the shoulder), dark, and curly. Hubby loves it. Curly hair can drive a woman nuts until she finds out how to care for it it. I wash with shampoo every four days or so, and wash with conditioner the rest of the time....then it’s more conditioner, and leave-in conditioner. I go through the stuff like you wouldn’t believe. But making sure it gets enough moisture is the secret. That, and staying away from stylists....I never met one who knew what to do with my hair. So I trim the ends myself.
I look horrible with long hair ... just like my mother always said. When I got my hair cut in the early 90s, after a baby threw up into it a few times, one of my coworkers thought there was a temp at my desk, because he’d never noticed my face before. Another sidled up at the copier and said, “I didn’t know you were pretty!”
Hilarious bra ad makes a very memorable point

Isn’t it funny? That something as simple as the length of one’s hair could make such a difference!
Also essential for an education in classical music...even opera.
"Oh Bwunhilda....you are so wovvvvwee!"
Is the point that “gender” is all in one’s imagination?
I went into peri at 40 so you are probably there but very lucky to be asymptomatic.
Try the progesterone first as that drops before estrogen.
Usually we have estrogen dominance to start with.
I use Rennaiscance myself.
Www.ultrapms.com
Haven’t been without for 12 years.
I always tell hubby I’m running low on crazy cream....:)
My aunt is a stylist and mom took me for a trim one day.
She lopped off 6” and I went apoplectic.
Several months later, the Mick Jagger shag got forced on me.
When I left home at 18, that was it.
It’s been shoulder blade length or more ever since.
Yes, it’s a “trauma”.
This is in January, but I can tell I'd just had my hair cut, same as it is now.
But at 52 I’m at the point in my life that I’m not out to impress anyone anymore. That’s not to say I don’t want to and strive to look nice; clean neat flattering fashionable but age appropriate clothes, makeup, jewelry, hair neat and styled, but I’m more about spending time doing things more fun than blow drying my hair for 20 -30 minutes then using a curling iron or flattening iron for another 20 minutes – that’s 40 to 50 minutes of my life each day I can use to do other things.
I love my pixie short hair cut. I love not waking up in the middle of the night during “night sweats” and having hair stuck to the back of my face and neck, I love that I save money on shampoo and conditioner, I love that when it’s 95 and humid, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a soggy string mop on the top of my head and I love that it takes me about 5 – 10 minutes to style my hair in the morning.
I’m also turning grey (white actually so for now it blends nicely with my natural blonde highlights) and it doesn’t scare me anymore and I’ve even stopped coloring my hair ; ).
My hairstyle is very similar to this BTW.
More that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
yes.
You sir are a lucky man!
I remember my mother telling me her father thought long hair was unclean. So he had all his girls line up for the barber to bob their hair. My grandfather was the dictator of the family and my mother and aunts had no say. (But as a concession, most of the time I had long hair. It was my cousin, the beautician that screwed up.)
