Article or no article, I'm glad that <i>our</i> crop of sexay young things are keeping our long hair, no matter what anyone says.<br /><br />Lulu, thank you so much for sharing your story. I certainly understand. As you may know from this blog, I had a similar experience when cutting out bleach damage some 12 years ago, and ended up with an inch or so of hair at is longest point. I don't even have any photos of that disaster until over 2 months after the fact. I have never felt so unlike myself in my life. Yet, 6 years later, I went and cut a lip length bob. My hair had been getting longer, but it was raggedy, as I still didn't know good hair care. That was my very last short cut. At least it was an easy grow-out cut. Yes, we are longhaired girls, heart and soul.<br /><br />ShamRock, you are right. Lulu and I are kindred spirits to be sure. I'm glad you posted a comment. Thank you so much.FrannyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05035408405310249769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634196082642739025.post-5812992527653071392010-10-22T22:17:03.320-04:002010-10-22T22:17:03.320-04:00luluj: Sounds like you and Franny are kindred sp...luluj: Sounds like you and Franny are kindred spirits!!ShamRockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14168340059882843952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634196082642739025.post-34144400868491341522010-10-22T20:43:08.577-04:002010-10-22T20:43:08.577-04:00I will NEVER forget December 22nd, 2008, it will b...I will NEVER forget December 22nd, 2008, it will be forever etched in my memory. My daughter came with me to the hair appointment to cut off the last of the remaining dye and finally reveal, for the first time in over 20 years, my natural hair. It was very exciting and it was also "my own decision to go for it." My daughter decided to shop around the mall and asked me to just meet her at the Food Court after the cut. My husband and I were preparing to head South for the winter in just a few days so it just seemed like the right time to chop. My longtime stylist asked me if I was certain I wanted her to cut off all of the dyed hair and I said yes, do it. When it was over, she showed me the back, using her giant round mirror and I can remember thinking "what have I just done?" My head looked like the back of a man's head, completely cropped, I still refer to the cut as my "down to the wood chop." I also remember fighting back the tears. My daughter's reaction was "Oh my God Mom, that's pretty severe!" The tears won the fight at that moment. I dropped her off at her house and then headed home, crying (sobbing, actually) the whole way. From that day forward I vowed to never, ever have short hair again, ever! There's not an article or opinion that will change my mind, I am a long haired girl at heart and in my soul, it is meant to be. This is the reason I love your blog so much, Franny, you inspire me.lulujnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634196082642739025.post-43912367114946051842010-10-22T17:19:23.677-04:002010-10-22T17:19:23.677-04:00Wow.

I am so tired of being told by "the experts" that because I am over 40, I am supposed to fade away, be understated, banish myself to the basement so that the new crop of sexay young things can have their turn.<br /><br />Screw that! lol<br /><br />I am keeping my hair and I am letting it grow. :DIce Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15044595481713357711noreply@blogger.com
