I have long lightly layered hair that is wavy/curly. I made the decision about one year ago to let the grey grow in completely. I had always used several shades of blonde and light brown for depth mixed in with the grey. To my surprise, I LOVE the look, and I have been getting quite a lot of compliments which has inspired me to keep it my natural color. I wore my hair in a casual low side-pony today to work with a few tendrils sticking out near my face. I also wear my hair down - either with a hot roller set or scrunching in curls OR up or half up. I've always enjoyed trying different hair styles. Seems we went to "different schools together" as the saying goes! Melissa you are the same age as me!

I'm only 37, but my general feelings on the matter are much the same. I love the ability to stand out and the ease of getting ready in the morning. Thanks you!

I am 56, in management and have long hair. Reasons: 1. I am not a "clone" 2. I'm a frustrated artist, so I "design" myself 3. Ready in 5 minutes 4. Less expensive than every-six-weeks appointments 5. I feel feminine...same reason I wear cute shoes. 6. I love people, but not the "herd mentality" 7. A trade mark for a highly competent person is a good thing For now the grey is blended in with expensive tri-coloring every 6 months. Simple headbands that match the color of my hair or outfit keeps the hair out of my face. Just after washing, it is light and fluffy; later it becomes smooth and sleek. I love it and so does my husband. Your contributions have really made my day, fellow "free spirits" who sail smoothly amongst the brainwashed folks(that we love). First – THANK YOU LADIES!

I started growing out my hair in earnest when I was 47, not long before my mother passed away. I regret she didn't get to see me with my long hair before she died. I keep citing the rebel in me as the reason my hair is still long, but it's easy to curl my hair up into a bun, to braid it, or pull it back when necessary.

I'm in my 30s and also have long hair. I found that having long hair with long layers/angles helps frame the face while adding style but not sacrificing length. I admire you for not cutting your hair. Mine is actually up to my derriere and I have no intention of parting with my locks! I really appreciated your post about older women with long hair.
