either that or bypass the co-op all together. im have lost weight but doing nothing is not helping. something to look forward to, clothes shopping.Well I need to get to those clothes shops when lockdown eases. Just have to take a longer route to the Coop.

since when have older people not had long hair. my hair is down to the middle of my back. itsw really thick and wavy. it frizzes when wet. its still mainly dark with increasingly grey bits. my daughter and 2 granddaughters have the same hair and it frizzes as well. all have got really long hair. im only 53, and not cutting my hair.Like you @Jaded'n'faded, my hair is way past my shoulders, I dithered in November 2019 whether to have a perm, mum had hers cut; still dithering in February 2020, mum had hers cut, then lockdown.
My hair hasn't been this long since - well, never. I've got thick hair and when I was a child mum always kept my hair short because it took so long to dry by the fire on a Sunday night.
BH, what a revelation, mid sixties with long (ish) hair.
Sometimes I pin it up, sometimes I have a pony tail, sometimes it's down.
I don't care that older women aren't 'supposed' to have long hair, I'm going to enjoy doing my thing. Maybe I'll get my ancient heated roller's out and have curly long hair.
Incidentally, daughter one has straight hair like me, daughter two has curly hair like OH, which she detested until Kylie had a spiral perm in the 1990's.
Daughter two has natural spiral curls and, thanks to Kylie, has learnt to love her hair (her beautiful hair, I wish I had hair like hers).
I think it's what you take in over the years that short hair is more 'flattering' as a woman matures.since when have older people not had long hair. my hair is down to the middle of my back. itsw really thick and wavy. it frizzes when wet. its still mainly dark with increasingly grey bits. my daughter and 2 granddaughters have the same hair and it frizzes as well. all have got really long hair. im only 53, and not cutting my hair.
my mum just wanted her monies worth out of the cut. i never dry my hair but leave it to dry naturally. i put it up, leave it down. can do more with it than short hair. i come from southamptonI think it's what you take in over the years that short hair is more 'flattering' as a woman matures.
What poppycock!!
Like I said, mum wouldn't let me have long hair when I was little, looking at B&W photo's of me when young, I had a pudding basin home hair cut.
I always hated going to the hairdresser's because of the moans when blow drying my thick hair.
My lack of self confidence seeping in.
I was so embarrassed in a Southampton hairdresser's once (I can name and shame) when the man drying my hair stopped half way through for a rest because his wrist was aching.
I felt so guilty for having thick hair and for years after, chopped my hair myself.
I don't dress as an ancient, my skirts are short, my jeans are ripped (but only because I was gardening and got stuck in brambles)
This last year has been harrowing for me and mine, but lockdown has liberated my short hair syndrome and I'm going to revel in having long, maybe even very long hair, unless my arms ache from using the hair dryer![]()
i used to cut all the kids hair when they were younger until they wanted more than just a cut but dying it as well.
you dont have to cut it because hairdressers are open and there will be a backlogLooking at the easing of lockdown I should have very long hair in a few months. Boris's hair coming on well and Naga's hair is even better.
