I am 47 and my hair falls just above my waist. Once as a child (when I also had hair to my waist) my liberal mother cut hers off and demanded that I also get a pixie hair cut. I was devastated.

The second time I mistakenly cut my hair is when I worked in the corporate world and all the women were jealous of my long, lovely blond locks and would make derogatory comments in their jealousy. I was also dating a man with a very corporate family (my now in-laws) and wanted to try out a new 'conservative look'. I regretted it within a month. (Although I think my mother-in-law loved my more snipped sexuality--as this is what cutting my hair off felt like for me.

Finally my hair is back (it takes longer to grow when one is older.). I love it. My husband loves it. My girl friends envy me and every man I meet seems to find it alluring. So hey. My thought is it won't be long until old 'B' and 'R" have their waves back. At first it is new and fun then . . . :(.

It’s all “fun and games” until you reach the “grow it out past your ears” stage.

I’ve been growing mine out for three years from a severe pixie cut (Who says older women look good in short hair?! dang idgits.) And now it’s just slightly past shoulder length.

Never again.

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.
