Why does every stylist think that if you come to a certain age, you must chop your hair off short? Really NO!
Three years ago I was sick of my short hair - which had to be cut extremely short to take all the frizz out. If it would grow beyond 12cm, I had to visit the hairdresser. He said there isn't any other style for me and that I should wear my hair short until I die. Says who??
The upside: I'm now 48 and my hair never looked better. It hangs between my shoulder blades and is curly - not frizzy. It is healthy and I truly love it and believe it or not, I look 'softer' and younger. It is much easier to manage than when it was short.
On the down side, I have to color the roots often since I've been turning gray from my early 20's, but I can cope with that.
When I ran into my stylist a while back, he almost dropped dead on the spot when he realized it was me. He never thought I would tough it out. Ha,ha,ha!
