Hi!

I have been athletic (and competitive) all of my life...and my hair length has gone from a "number 2" to "down to the waist" (ahem...sometimes the same year!!!). For the purpose of "looking reasonably good no matter what", I have had a rule for the past 5 years (I just turned 40): If it is short, it should be short enough so I can tuck most of it under my helmet/swim cap etc..., if it is is longer, it should be long enough so that I can make a pony tail (one that last!).
Expensive short haircut are..well...expensive...but if it makes you feel good, go for it!

Seg.
