Approaching the last birthday I intend to celebrate (59) and have been growing out my hair. It's below shoulder length. Up until six months ago, it was OK - baby fine but fairly thick & looked good.

Seems like I've been losing more hair & it's looking ragged. Doc says - menopause. I'm still hot flashing and HRT is not an option because of risk of blood clots, etc. When I die, I won't need a tombstone. My burial plot will be the slightly warm patch of earth.

But back to the hair - I'm getting ready to cut. I really think that thin straggly hair is awful. I wear it in a bun 95% of the time because when I flash & sweat, any curl that I managed to wrestle into my hair is history. Before I do - does anybody use a product that works to thicken hair? I've been using Pureology which used to work but no longer. Or maybe I should just bite the bullet & chop it off. I'm also letting it go grey because I hate that skunk stripe of grey hair that women get when they're between coloring and I really refuse to be a slave to my hair.

So, I guess I'm looking for recommendations for a miracle product. Or a chorus of "cut it and get over yourself!"
