I plan to get my hair cut very short, soon. (Then - I'll bet that I won't mind washing it Often! Did U do that and are U glad U did? - When I was in my 40's - i wanted to keep Long hair; now I can't wait to get it cut; but I have very fine, thin hair and not sure I'll like it short; perhaps I'll even purchase a wig, but I don't want one that's too thick- because then that would not look like Me; l o l. any comments, etc. thanks and best wishes!

I (53) had long hair for about 30 years, then last year my daughter (26) and I donated our hair to Locks of Love (they make wigs for children who have lost their own hair due to cancer or other diseases). Think about doing this with your hair, as they really need it. People keep commenting on how professional I look now (I work at a university), and it does dry faster. If you have fine hair, you will be surprised at how much easier it will be to style, as fine hair is limp when long but tends to spring up when cut short. Best wishes on your new style!
(you could probably get your own hair made into a wig for yourself if you really wanted to...)

I have long hair, soon to go short. I found some great photo's of short hair cuts on the Internet. Pick out one you like. You can even learn what is best for thin short hair. I wouldn't waste the money on the wig thing, (but that's just me.) I would, and did think of donating the hair to The Locks of Love Foundation, for Cancer patients, I've done that several times. Good luck. I hope you get a great cut.

Well...you don't say if you are male or female...
and you should do whatever you feel comfortabloe doing with your hair. It's your hair. Why don't you go a store and try on wigs to see if you like your hair that way? And frankly...if you are in your fifties, you are well past the age of using idiotic cyber abbreviations like a teenager

I am in my late 40's. My hair is very fine and due to illness it is quite thin in spots.
My best friend is a hairdresser who finally talked me into cutting my hair which was below my shoulders to a kind of pixie cut. She colored it a bit darker than my naturally mousy brown color, layered it and added some reddish highlights.
Wow! The difference is wonderful!
Friends say it took years off of me! I love it.
The short layered look is awesome and so easy to care for!
If you get it cut, I hope your lucky enough to find someone who can help you as my friend helped me!
Good Luck!

for you my dear lady just let it grow shoulder length..you can do lots of styles with your hair when its not cut too short...you can look professional even with long hair as long as you know how to style it..short hair makes you look older..thats why almost everyone old with short hair look old...hehehe,.
