Many gals are envious of thick hair. I have thick and somewhat wavy natural strawberry blonde hair and I’ve worn my hair just below shoulder length to pixie short like I have it now and everything in between.

But at 52 I’m at the point in my life that I’m not out to impress anyone anymore. That’s not to say I don’t want to and strive to look nice; clean neat flattering fashionable but age appropriate clothes, makeup, jewelry, hair neat and styled, but I’m more about spending time doing things more fun than blow drying my hair for 20 -30 minutes then using a curling iron or flattening iron for another 20 minutes – that’s 40 to 50 minutes of my life each day I can use to do other things.

I love my pixie short hair cut. I love not waking up in the middle of the night during “night sweats” and having hair stuck to the back of my face and neck, I love that I save money on shampoo and conditioner, I love that when it’s 95 and humid, I don’t feel like I’m wearing a soggy string mop on the top of my head and I love that it takes me about 5 – 10 minutes to style my hair in the morning.

I’m also turning grey (white actually so for now it blends nicely with my natural blonde highlights) and it doesn’t scare me anymore and I’ve even stopped coloring my hair ; ).

My hairstyle is very similar to this BTW.

I once told Jamie-my-hairdresser that I wanted to look like Judi Dench as “M” in the James Bond movies ... and she said, “Who?” Too young to know ...

Lovely. She looks AMAZING in that cut! I am sure you do as well. I can see your point and so understandable. Your hair sounds gorgeous and simple. I bet you look fantastic the color combo sounds really pretty. :-D.
