humm this is the second try at this. Here goes. I came upon this site while looking for hairstyle sites to cut my hair (not a really short hair cut).  I changed my mind and decided not to cut my hair and allow it to grow... I did cut off a little. It really needed it. It's to my waist now.

I am 41, married for 24 years with 3 children, girl 23, boys 18 & 15 and a grand daughter 3 years old. My husband also has long hair, about to the middle of his back.

I don't go to hair dressers because I have had terrible experiences with them. It seems like they all have one mission in mind and that is to cut off all of my hair. Once I went in for a "evening out" because one side of my hair was longer than the other. I came out with the back of my head shaved to about 1/4 inch half way up.
My mother is constantly saying to cut my hair bacause women my "age" don't look good with long hair. Mom has always hated my hair, when I was little she would cut my hair into the shortest pixie even though I begged her not too. She's a hair hater  

Anyway... enough of me babbling... just wanna say Howdy Ya'll. Howdy

Welcome, Anjy.  You will fit in well here - many of us fight the "you're too old for long hair" responses!
