I have decided after having Mia Farrow cuts for years and also hairdressers cutting part of my side of skin and losing blood off I am going to grow and grow and grow my own hair. My friends through cancer have lost their hair through no fault of their own so I am going to try to grow my own. I know "older" people don;'t suit long hair but I am going to give it a go. Never thought I would feel this way. But good luck to me says I.!!!!!

happy growing conn :)

Give it a go - I'm doing the same at the moment, a sort of long pageboy style, just to see how it looks. I can trim the fringe myself!

I've said that when i'm older i'm gonna rock the long silver locks... looks so cool :)

I've got a thing about my hair though. My mum got it all chopped off when I was wee and i've never forgiven her!!

the good news is you don't have to do anything, just sit there and feel it getting longer. Start bulk-buying shampoo, though.

Just my poor ole friend has lost her hair for 3rd time and she adored her hair so I am doing in her memory - hey - she is still here!!!! People will say Oh you are too old for long hair (am crying now) - but need to get over this for this wonderful friend.

[Connemmara]

Before she took ill i hated her long hair now I say if and when she grows it back I don't care if she grows it down to her a r s e. Whatever she wants.

your reasons actually sound quite complicated, but it's your hair, do as you please with it. No such thing as being too old for long hair.

[erin-x]

Being too old for long hair is a myth!! Just like you have to go lighter as well. One of the babies at work, her grandma has a bright pink streak in her hair! She's amazing!!

[ummmm]

I think long hair on older people usually makes them look older.

Connemmara.....A very wise Irish woman once said...."If it's legal and you're able then you're not too old." x

[mrs_overall]

Ummmm, what do you class as "older?"

[jno]

is that anyone on AB perchance, gness?

[ummmm]

My age... :-)

About 40. Not that people should have short hair, just not long long.

What about Jerry Hall Ummmm? ;)

[mrs_overall]

lol @ Ummm. A very diplomatic answer

[Connemmara]

I agree with you UMMMMM -old hair on an old face is not good but I am trying to do this for my friend with cancer - just to see if I can do it - that's all - no vanity at all.

[ummmm]

Jerry Hall is the same age as my Mum (I think) I think her hair, although it looks okay, makes her look older.

[ummmm]

Con, no offence but what are you trying to achieve?

[erin-x]

Oh no... I'll always have my long flowing locks :)

[Connemmara]

Just to see if I can grow my hair after such a long time - for her - if I can do it - she can do it - bless her. that's all UUMMMMM
