Go for a loverly twink perm dearie. You can use fag papers...no-one will notice gal ! Smother the smell of the twink in lavender water. Or even cheaper than that gal, Put yer finger in the socket....lovely tight perm to make Leo sayer proud. That and a lovely blue rinse should set it off nice. Fink we should all get old disgracefully eh ? PS: dont ferget yer twin set and pearls. Mildred Honkinbottom x (Pinny Gang) :o))))

Its a very personal thing Lindy as a young hairdresser I used to think ladies who wore their hair long after 45 or so were silly as it drags the face down and we don't need that but if you have a nice well groomed down to the chin length I think now that I'm near 60 myself that its lovely if its well groomed of course and you can then wear it up and do all sorts of things with it for a change which is beaut, I wear mine short as possible at the moment heading fo the heat of Far north Queensland but am thinking of a change when we get home as daughter getting married july 2006 and would love to be slimmer and have different hair style altogether have you found something in a magazine on a lady with similar shaped face as you that is a start , and you can then work on what you want from there. best of luck Lara

Viv if you are still up to scratch lol we could chat about it, I started growing it long when I hit 40 probably the wrong time to do it looking back. Just feel I need updating a bit xxhugxx

Lynn, Do what you feel comfortable with. You had shortish hair for a while didn't you? Perhaps you just need a 'style' to it as it's not one thing or the other right now. You should have called and I'd have been round with me scissors! LOL See you for a coffee sometime Love Viv.

My only worry (as a sixty-year-old who tints out the white at the front) is that anyone coming up from behind me gets a shock when they see my face! A good CUT is the most important thing as we get older. Our Minister has had her locks cut and looks YEARS younger. Lily

Hi Lindy - twin here! (Remember?!) I've nearly always had fairly long hair, and late last year I asked my hairdresser to cut it as short as I could get away with, as I'm 48 now and thought the same as you. It's now layered and not quite shoulder length, but Bob says it doesn't look short - he agrees that we shouldn't conform, just have our hair as we want it (within reason, lol). What do you WANT to do with it? Glenys x

Hi Lindy, My friend (49) had really lovely long hair, she had it all cut off and she looked fabulous and at least 10 yrs younger Kathleen

Hi Lindy, I had my waist length hair chopped before I started teaching at age 22. Never regretted it for a second. Gwynne

Many thanks to all of you for the varied opinions all of which are very much appreciated, appointment is for Tuesday pm I will let you know how I feel when the deed has been done. xxhugxx enjoy your weekends

That's true, Sally, counting my blessings!! Karen, that's it, 36, couldn't remember ........... I'm getting silly ... again :-) Joy

I had very long hair until 2 months ago ... then I let a trendy hairdresser give me a choppy, trendy hair cut ... and I love it. At the time I came away thinking that it looked great but that I'd probably wash it and end up with it looking like the child in the advert 'some eejit has cut my niece's hair ...!' I think it's the best thing I've ever done - more confident and look and feel younger too! Whatever you decide, though, has to be right for you! So just do what you feel is the right thing. S:>

Il be 36 this yr and i still have long hair. i have had it cut to above my shoulders b4 but i always let it grow again, i think i will always have long hair, ive started to straighten mine and it makes a big difference. Kaz

Do what pleases you. I have dark,long hair and will be 50 in 2 weeks.Luckily i don't have to colour it and will be too lazy anyway.Your hair, do what suits you.

When My Jean asked me how i felt if she had her waist length hair cut, i thought about it and said 'as long as its cut off in one piece, ok'..........we still have an 18 inch light brown plait.. and now she has grey hair you can see the difference!!

hairdresser, Sally? oops! since a car crash can't lean backwards to have it washed .... wot a pain! Joy mutters .... off to find the date ....

I think that you should just do what ever you want. There does`nt seem to be any real hard and fast rules these days. I have never been able to have long hair as mine is fairly curly and I envy those who do have it. Sometimes a completely different look can make you feel so much better. What ever you decide on I hope it makes you feel GREAT. Love and Peace Marianne. xxxx

Seriously Lindy, 2 yrs ago i had my very long hair (to my bottom) cut to just below my shoulders. So much easier to look after and more flattering (for me). Go ahead it will look great. Wendy.

oooo'ekkk im 46 and my hair is past my bra strap!!!! it is dark with about 3 grey hairs lol i am too cowardy to have it cut,although its way overdue for a good cut and styling susie

Here did someone call??????????? pmsl

If you feel like a change, Lindy, go for it! It will put a spring in your step...XXBC
