I can spike it up or not. A good haircut is a MUST. Hair products are heaven sent.

I just turned 53, BTW. I don't see many older women who look good in longer hair. Sorry, but I think it makes them look older because it drags down the features. Gravity will have its way eventually - but I don't mind trying to fake it out a little...
I can very much relate to this!! I'm 52, but what's one year difference? Not much, I think. My hair is about as straight as it comes, and fine, tho' there is a lot of it. Coloring helps give it body and thickness, let alone brightness and a covering of the grey spots. It will never be short again. I think I actually look older in long hair. I adore hair products, especially volumnizer and the sticky stuff that molds hair into place. Eventually, I hope I have the guts to go grey/white. Not there yet.

I kinda like helmet hair......... it equalizes good/bad/young/old hair.
