thanks folks, let me set it right: I DO NOT have 70/80s hair. I keep up with the styles for long hair. My ? was - when do I quit & go for the hair styles more age friendly.

thanks Sea, I really don't see any other reason to change except the age thing.

If a hairstyle suits a person's facial structure and lifestyle, then it will look terrific at any age.

I think a lot of women change to shorter styles after menopause affects their hair growth, and it naturally starts to thin a bit. Your hair is still thick, so you aren't ready for that yet! Enjoy your youth!!!

Ok, so I got my hair professionally done, and I am glad I did. This is a pic of the whole shebang. I have a pic of the back (french twist with diamonds) and I will post it as soon as sis sends it to me.

Well, hell's bells, BR! You are saying menopause did all that stuff to my hair??? Duh!!! I honestly had not even thought of that, but I was blaming HRT for my hair going straight. I guess I did such a whole lot of major life changes right around menopause that I never stopped to think some of the stuff like HAIR was menopause. I retired (young), went through menopause, got on hormones, moved, went to a place where it is pretty cool and damp year round. And I forget who said it above, but I also always had wonderful hair, very fine but very thick and naturally curly. I could always do anything with it very easily. Once I got old enough not to care so much, say 15 years younger than Texasdeb, I cut it all off, and what a revelation! I had soft corkscrew curls that all I had to do was throw some water on in the morning and fluff it up. What a luxury, not to mention a timesaver. And then I went through menopause and had a bad time of that and got some hormones, and moved to the Pacific Northwest, where it is pretty humid, and my hair went straight and flat, and seems to be thinning out, although I am in denial on that point. And it is all menopause??? Sumbitch, I sure bet it is!! Ain't that a pisser? Oh well, it's still not all that bad, lol. The hair, that is.
Hold on tight, Texasdeb. It's a comin'

Escapee, can't really see the hair all that well, but it could be my monitor going. Can you crop the picture to just the head? Got any pics of what the bride ended up with?

Thx yall!! Very nice Escapee can't wait to see the back. And I'm glad you got it professionally done. I also think women cut their hair as they get older cuz its easy upkeep.

Escapee, you really do look lovely. Juju, I'm not losing my hair. Hmmmm. I grow it until I'm tired of it, get it cut off and then grow it until I'm bored with it or it's long enough for Locks for Love. It's still so thick that on humid days it drives me nuts. I'll have to inspect your head for bald spots next time we meet. Of course, a good hair stylist can cover them up with one of your spare curls. Texasdeb, I'm 3 years older than you are and, as I said, I grow my hair at will. No worries. Speaking of Locks for Love, my Miss Sarah got her hair cut last week. It is about 3 inches shorter than either of us wanted but she had been growing it for Locks for Love, she just can't pull herself together enough to keep it untangled. They got exactly the 10" they needed for Locks for Love and now that we've gotten over the shock of her hair being short again, I think she looks adorable with a skinny headband in.

I'm happier with the length and the colour of my hairstyle now. I was blonder this summer - and yes it was FUN to be so blond for a while:
Now darker for the Fall, closer to my natural colour, and hopefully more elegant:
I may be getting a slightly layered trim in a few days to update the style. Extra points for ignoring my double chin. lol.

I got my hair cut on Monday, It's now shoulder length, so I got around 4-5 inches off?? I'll probably get a picture of it tonight so I'll post it tomorrow. :D

Back to my goth look, hair's dyed black now. I also used some red hairspray for highlights which I did myself. It's temporary and I just sprayed it on my hand and then patted it where I wanted it.

Got my haircut a couple of days ago. It's angled shorter in the back than the front. It's got a few thin blond highlights (more evident in the pic a few posts above) and some layers. Even though it's short, and I'm not really a fan of short hair for myself, I'm enjoying the layers. The stylist wanted to cut one side about an inch or two shorter than the other side... DH thinks it would have been really cute, but I wasn't brave enough.
