Yesterday my husband told me he liked my hair and asked if I’d done anything different to it.
I hadn’t.
My first thought: Nice of him to notice.
My second thought: Time to get a haircut.
Daniel likes my hair longer and wants me to grow it out. I don’t like it long for a variety of reasons:
1. I dye it to cover the grey and it’s a hassle to dye longer hair.
2. I don’t like my hair in my face.
3. I think I’m too old for long hair. I see other ladies way older than me with long hair, and I think they’re too old for long hair, and they’d look better with it shorter. I’m only 39 but still.
But then I see pictures of myself from about a year ago when my hair was getting longer and think it looked pretty cute. What to do?
Here’s how my hair is looking right now:
Yes, I took that while driving, and yes, that’s my finger getting in the shot. You try to take a picture one-handed with a tiny camera while driving! Or you could be smart and don’t.
I also keep thinking about letting my natural color grow out. So much grey in it though…Hard to see in that picture, but my roots have grown out quite a bit. The hair you see near my cheekbone-level that is white is actually all grey. It blends really well with the blonde. Not so much with my natural dark brown color.
But I’ll probably let it grow out a bit more just because I’m too lazy to go get it cut or dye it right now.

I’m with Dan, I like your hair. It is a good length for your face. You look perky. Long hair can draw a face down and make some women look older. Perhaps you are young enough still, but like you said, it is a pain to dye.

I see you’re wearing your hair short. Is that ’cause you think you’re old? ‘Cause you’re not. You could be wearing your hair long if you wanted to.

Thanks Penny.

Now that my hair is long, I’m realizing it’s not harder to dye — you only do the roots!
I think you should go red.
But really, you can wear any hairstyle because you have an oval face. But your one big dreadlock was my fav.

A little late to the party (have been away for some time). I like your hair Susan; it’s a great length for you, FWIW. And I agree about just doing the roots (my daughter does hair). That color suits you well.

People should be more cautious when using hair dye because some chemicals used in the dyeing process are cancerous..-`
