I've suffered from AGA my entire life and struggled just to keep my short, very thin and fine hair looking "normal". I've never worn anything longer that a very short boy cut. When I started going through menopause I started really losing my hair. Even the short cut with a comb over would no longer do. So I took the plunge and bought a wig. Wow. What a difference hair on your head makes! My wig is short, but it looks great. I now have people talking to me that simply ignored me before. After taking a look at the comments on this website, I'm excited about wearing longer style wigs too. Longer for me would be a chin-length bob. But after 40 years of short ugly hair, a chin-length bob would be so nice. I finally feel female! Who would have thought it would have to take a wig to do that to me?

I will be 60 this year. I'm happiest when my hair has been at least long enough to wear up in the heat. Right now it's grazing my shoulders (last summer it was chin length and really too short). I want it at least mid back - I weave my hair light blonde - it helps with the white front and darker back - and will continue to do so at least for the foreseeable future.. Thanks for giving me the gumption to say the heck with people who think that, because of my age, I should have short hair.

SICK OF DYING MY HAIR! But, as I read about Color oops and other hair color removers, I realize that having gone to a shade LIGHTER than my natural medium brown will turn the dyed hair red, requiring, good grief, more dying! I want to go GRAY! I have been searching the internet for a week and it seems that the only option is to Low light to diminish the transition line of my medium brown (and awesome white)roots and the dyed hair? That is, to have a color matching my natural medium brown applied in the same manner as when you get hi-lights. Which would give me 3 hair colors fighting it out on my head - well, kinda like they are now, but maybe more blended....? Anyone ever do this with the same hair color combo I have going?

I dont have any grey yet and never have died it. I soon will be 74 and going to grow older with grace. I use NEXXUS shampoo & conditioner. My hair has grown to the top of my bra, if you gals got any ideas I would like to hear from you.

I will be 58 in January. I decided a year ago to let my hair grow, long hair makes me feel feminine. Elizabeth Dunnings advice on how to care for thinner hair, was just what I was looking for, I do weave and cover my gray its better with my skin color, after seeing my stylist for color touch ups, trims, my hair is like a young women's hair, LOL!!!!! I am letting it grow to my waist, I don't feel alone in this venture, after reading these greats posts!!!... I am so glad I found this site!!! I will be 58 in January.
