[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 58. My hair is naturally wavy and I still have a lot of it. I straighten it about half the time. Barring a major health issue, I have no plans to cut my hair short enough that I can’t pull it up. Even my hairdresser says short hair would be way more work for me based on my hair type.

I don’t wear it as long as I did in my 20s and 30s but that’s a personal preference, not pressure to follow an unwritten rule about long hair on older women. I keep it around my shoulders or just below these days. [/quote]

55 with very thick hair.  Below shoulders.  I have never had short hair.  I would look awful given my head size and face shape.  [/quote]

It’s strange but my hair has actually gotten thicker in my 50s.  My mom is 80 with very thick hair so I guess not everyone gets thin hair or bald spots with age. [/quote]

me too. I am 54--will be 55 in February.

I have a giant Irish head, round face, short forehead. I look god awful with bangs or any hair above my shoulders.  I do have cheekbones somehow--and Italian/mediterranean skin.  Longish hair--at least to shoulders or a bit below elongates my face as needed.  I look so much better with hair on the longer side. Never ever would a short hair do look good. My mom is 80 with a thick bob (no thinning hair at all--still has to have the volume razored out underneath) and it makes her look so youthful.[/quote]
You’re both very lucky. The women in my family all start out with gorgeous movie star hair that all but disappears from their heads by menopause. I’m taking oral minoxidil to try to stave off the inevitable as long as possible.[/quote]
