Hi all, Well, it's official...now every woman in my office has cut her hair short except me! I do not plan on cutting mine (I have naturally wavy/curly hair, red, length of 25"). There was another girl that had hair about my length, and she just got it all cut off! (I think she looks a lot older, but that's just my opinion.) One of the guys said "Well, I guess you're next!", and I said "No, I'm not going to cut mine. I don't look good with short hair". I am 35 and people think I'm a lot younger. I think my hair has a lot to do with it. It's my best feature, if I got rid of my "crowning glory" I'd have nothing! One of my co-workers (who used to be a beautician) said "You'll find that long hair ages you when you get a certain age(?) and that long hair draws your face downward, that you need a visual "uplift". (It's supposed to mimic vertical lines and wrinkles or something?) What do you all think? I've read and agree with Karen's article on long hair after 40. I'm staying long, but curious as to others' thoughts.JM
