I am older and have very long hair. Whenever I think of cutting it really short my son says no, to let it get longer. Which is weird. Also weird is that my hair is still natural brown even though most other people my age have grey or white hair. I wear my hair up or in one braid or fishtail. It's a pain to wash. I guess I am following a tradition as my Irish grandmother had hair to her waist...and wore it in braids wound round her head. She never cut her hair.
