Thanks Beverly! Sadly it is not quite as nice and lush any more since I'm years into menopause. I like to think I wore my white hair proudly back in the day.

My hair's going to stay long, thin and wispy as it is, until either I learn to cut the back of my own head, or I feel safe going to the salon.

My sister. Luckily, I look good in a topknot.

I've trimmed my own bangs, but my normally shoulder length hair is down past my bra strap now. Between masks and wanting my hair out of my way, it's in a bun or a ponytail pretty much all the time anyway, so I'm thinking I'll just grow it out until it's long enough to donate again.

I had long hair in college and I'd trim it occasionally - a very slow process that involved snipping off more or less the same amount from sections and then checking the back with two mirrors to make sure it wasn't too far off. Took time, but it got rid of the split ends. It eventually got to be hip length before I got fed up and had it all cut off.

My hair is thin - if I put it in a ponytail, the end is pencil-sized - but there's a lot of it. And it's changing texture post-menopause. I used to have stick-straight hair that would never hold a curl; now, it's lightly wavy, curls if I put it in a bun and take it down, and enlarges at the slightest hint of moisture in the air.

Last autumn, when I was working late at the office with my dev team, I took off my hat and let my hair down, which promptly fluffed out like an angry cat. "Uh, Atropa's hair is out. Are we in trouble?"

Atropa, my hair is changing in a very similar way.

This pleases me

I haven't cut my hair since last November, I think, and it is a shaggy mess, but still only chin-length to shoulder-length. I think maybe I can actually put it in a ponytail? I should dig up my hair ties that I salted away when I started wearing my hair shorter.

I actually miss seeing my developers. They are sweet boys with a fitness obsession, and the daily chatter about "Dude! Plank time!" and all of them dropping to the floor to do planks was weirdly adorable.

Hey, this is me, too!

Jealous, I used to have stick-straight hair, and still do. eta: I hoped for a curl after pregnancy, or a wave after menopause, but nope.
