This is a wonderful, encouraging site for growing out hair. I've just joined in and am trying to learn how to post, and add photos and find info. Your comments are funny and inspirational. Thank you so much, 7animals.

Usually, I do a low pony tail, half-up, regular braid, french braid or french twist. Sometimes I feel a bit self-conscious about it as not too many women have long silver hair in my area. When I feel that way, I put in some cones and fall in love with the softness and shininess all over again.

At 61, you've more than earned the right to wear your hair however it pleases you. Try youtube for some tutorials on different styles. You can learn some new ones and have fun. And invoke the two week rule: whenever you think about cutting, make yourself wait at least two weeks. If you still want to do it then, have at it.

Good luck!

you have lovely hair
