Long or Short

[DIANAC]

Claire is right. Your granddaughter looks so much like you that at the first glance I could not tell which one is you. Very nice!!!

Why is it a lady cuts her hair and looks 30 years younger, but when a man goes bald, he gets 30 years older?

By the way, I agree with the assessments made...which one is the granddaughter?

Cheers,

Jim

Jim, you are so right. My DS who is losing his hair (hereditary, on both sides), cut his hair very short. Now people ask him if I am his wife (!!??).

Hair that is--this includes guys as well.
Is your hair short, long or medium.

How did you keep it prior to turning 50?

When I was a small-(er than now) girl,
I was forced to have hair, cut (2-in) short like a boy when
all the other little girls were allowed *braids*.
I begged for this: "No!!!" was their stupid answer.

In hi-school, I let it grow and now,
it's within 2-inches of my waist, and I can have Braids when I want.

Thankyou Jim
Yes--my grandaughter number 1 looks a lot like me and so do my daughter and I.

Speaking of hair--she just went and did the dye it red thing--doesnt even look red--it looks like clown burnt red--we are all brunettes but they all including my daughter keep thinking they get some kind of blondish red hair buying the over the counter stuff.

I went through that stage --so when she has to cut off her longer hair cause she has ruined it--well then maybe she will learn.

granddaughter number 2 has hair to her waist--its beautiful.

SK8--I went through the same thing--I use to cry when taken to the beauty shop as they razored my hair like a boy and my mom thought it was cute! ugggg.

I do like mine now--the natural curk and wave--just wash and comb and off I go

To the guys--my 3 bothers all began to go bald in their 20's.
But I like bald--remember Yul Brenner?

 

[rebornfree]

I think bald guys look good too!

I would love long hair but mine is very fine, so I have to keep it short otherwise it would look lanky. I give my CF character long hair instead (lol), and pray that God will thicken my real hair, as I have a condition which affects its growth, and would love to be able to choose how I style it.

I have a friend with a condition that causes her hair to be really thin and it simply does not grow.
In fact now--she is experiencing female balding.

Anyone else experience female balding?

I'm definitely experiencing a thinning of my hair! It can be a sign of thyroid deficiency. I was tested and found my thyroid was not working well. I have been on the meds for quite awhile but to no avail (hair thickness wise). But hair thinness also runs in my family. Oh well, that's the way it goes I guess! ha!

 

[Bubbi]

Never thought about the Thyroid--that little gland can mess up so many things.

My hair seems to get thicker as I age and more and more grey.
I dont like how thick its getting which is another reason to cut it.

 

[mommysue]

Wow! to have your hair get thicker as you get older! That is rare! Is it a family thing?

 

[Bubbi]

Sorry--to be late in responding.
I dont know mommysue--My moms hair got thicker too and she hated it lol.

She had me take the clippers to it!

I do believe generally gray hair is thicker than regular hair. Jan

Due to my job, I have to keep it short and professional. Six months left to go till I retire, then, I might let it out a little longer, not sure yet......maybe fuller style, ...ugh, will figure it out, later

 

[Rediscoveringgod]

How cool to see how ya'll look! My hair also seems to be getting thicker, but I keep it short. And, since I've always been blonde, I just keep it dyed Light Ash Blond over the counter and it turns out several different colors because of all the grey. Also, my hair is so much healthier after I've colored it. My avitar was taken a couple of yrs ago. It is shorter now. So easy to just get up, wash and dry. Thanx for sharing pics.

Really? I did not know that--I wonder why?

After years of long hair--im all for the wash/dry/ and get up and go

The recruit soldiers are on the parade square and the sergeant is undergoing preliminary inspections. From behind he shouts to one soldier:

"AM I HURTING YOU?"

"No Sergeant!"

"I SHOULD BE. I"M STANDING ON YOUR HAIR!" IT IS SO LONG YOU ARE A FIRE HAZARD!

Cheers.

HEE HEE HEE, Jim

I think the reason hair seems to get thicker when it greys is because the strands are stiffer. Every pulled one out to see how stiff it is, maybe also not as fine as the other ones. I just have my hair dresser razor cut my hair. It really takes the weight off and thins it out too. Bonnie

 

[Bubbi]

LOL Jim

Grey hair is different--makes sense to me.
At any rate--I dont miss brushing out the tangles.

 

[Jim1927]

I must confess, my gray hair is thick and as fine as a babies' hair. Also, isn't hair grayer at the root? My barber cuts all my darker hair each time I get a haircut.

Also, ladies, don't grow a beard. It turns gray even before the head hair!..lol

Cheers,

Jim
