You look great.
But, I am in the same category as Mimi. I will be looking for a new job in a new field in 2 years and right now I am in grad school with 20-40 somethings. I need to look as young as I can... I will be closer to 60 when I start my job search .
Funny, I let my hair grow out from very short (which was perfect for cycling) to just above chin length. It looks great, but requires much more work, since my hair is naturally ugly frizz. I've had a lot of positive comments on the change and my family thinks I look much younger. I wish it were either straight or curly but, I guess I wasn't blessed with that gene. I am having trouble handling it when i am riding and we stop to eat or end up somewhere other than home. It is not long enough to pull back and basically, I looked like Bozo the clown, with a matted head when my helmet comes off, since I sweat buckets. The buff works, but it's just too hot now to wear it. Before, I just poured some water from my bottle over my head and it was good to go.
The grey isn't an issue, yet. I have a teeny bit coming in near my part, but with the blonde highlights, it blends in. I have no idea what I will do when I really start going grey; brown or blonde? I was a blonde until about 10 years ago, when my hair got dark. I still see myself as a blonde...
