You must have really good hair genes. : : : Ted : : I was lot younger then. Now that i'm 63 the hair doesn't grow quit as long now. Not sure why but it is what it is. : : Now that i'm 63 the length seems to be at nipple length. Anything longer seems to be especially susceptable to damage no matter how careful I am. The past several years i've ended up chopping off about 6-8 inches to clean up the ends. This year I skipped doing that but ends look like crap so i'm debating with myself as to whether I should leave the hair the way it is or to clean up the ends. : : I'm wondering if I need to bite the bullet and admit that my hair should only be nipple length? I hate having the hair that short but I also hate the ends that look like crap. : : I'm also wondering if i'm wearing my hair down too much now. Maybe I need to wear it in a pony tail/pig tail/braid/bun more often? : : One thing i'm absolutely sure about, I won't be cutting it any shorter than nipple length. : : As we get older does our hair lose it's strength? Does it become more brittle? : Hi LHIA, : Thanks for the reply! That's a bummer your hair won't grow that long anymore. I would just grow it as long as it will grow with nice thick ends. That's my plan for my hair. But I think wearing it down a lot does cause the ends to get ratty. And I also think that hair loses its elasticity when the strands turn gray and lose the color pigment. : But your hair looks good in your avatar photo. Its great to know you're steadfast in your decision about not cutting. Onward and downward! : Ted
