I have medium brown hair to the middle of my back. I color it darker a couple/few times a year. I also have a beach wave perm in it right now. I’m happy with my hair right now. I will probably get another beach wave perm in December as one side of my hair isn’t as curly as the other. I don’t think the stylist let the perm set long enough on that side. Oh well.
How exactly do you take care of your hair?
Do you make homemade remedies for your hair?
My hair is very short and is salt and pepper in color. It has really thinned out quite a bit over the past twelve years. I am 60 now. Women’s hair tends to thin out quite a bit starting at menopause. Young women need to be aware of that. I was taken by complete surprise.
In my youth, I had extremely thick, long, very wavy hair and it was always my pride and joy. At age 49, during perimenopause, it started falling out and hasn’t stopped falling out since. It’s so thin now that I can no longer wear my hair long. If I do, it looks too stringy. It still looks pretty good short though.
My hair is shoulder length, light brown, and shot with silver. It’s wavy which is weird because for the first half of my life it was straight.
I wore a buzz cut for several years a while back and I was never happier. People confused me for a dude all the time and that just made me happier than a lark. But, everybody in my life just HATED my buzz cut and was very, very vocal about it. Everyone from my lover, my son, my family, my health care workers, my friends, my ex husband, everyone hated my buzz cut but me. So, I know how you feel.
But, eventually, I broke down and got a more feminine style. It seems to make people happier. People like to tell me I’m “beautiful” evidently.
The first week of my buzz cut, I would hear things like “but your hair was getting so long, and long hair looks so good on you!”
But because I am just so much more comfortable with the buzz cut, my increased confidence shone through and now people think it suits me
I have fairly thick hair that usually does just what I want.
I trim it myself because hair stylists always cut it too short.
I won’t pay for bad hair cuts over and over.
The wrinkle is it’s graying early. So every 4-5 weeks I trim and dye it.
Last weekend I did that, this one is my facial hair.
