[quote=Anonymous]NP here.  I bet if you polled the women here who have been happily married 15+ years, most-to-all would say they care what their DH thinks about their hair, and they take it into account when thinking about their hairstyles.  And they want honest feedback.

I have a little theory--it's "men want what they married."  So if they married brunette/long hair/straight, that's what they want; it's hard for them to change.

Now that doesn't mean you don't change it for them, but I can tell you, my DH loved my long, hyper-permed 80s hair with the purple tinge.

It was hard to wean him off it...first the purple went out...then years later I grew out my naturally straight hair, and I still think that's hard for him.

Now we are in our 50s and I'm growing out my natural color, and have gray in my hair, and I know this is hard for him, too.  Fortunately it's not an overnight change like hair coloring is.  I'm compensating by really working hard on getting in shape, because of course, we married when I was in great shape.  So I try to keep some factors constant.  I'm also keeping my hair long.  And dressing better--bonus!

His opinion matters to me, and his attraction to me, which is not something you can turn on or off, is important to me! [/quote]
