    I keep my hair short because it’s a pain to handle when it’s long. I also don’t bother with bangs and just leave them the same length as the rest. I must admit to being impressed by long-haired people being able to take care of theirs!

    I’m convinced mine just has a mind of its own. Even the part doesn’t want to cooperate.

    I still have long hair, but it has thinned with age to the point that it is a piece of cake to wash, dry and brush. An advantage, I guess.

    I’m too grumpy to style my hair anymore! I keep it short, if it takes me longer than 3 minutes to dry it I need a haircut. I used to have it long and I would blow dry and style it every morning before work. I kept it long so it could be styled around my veil. When we went to Germany I got it cut short because I had no idea who would cut it for me over there. I had a Dorothy Hamill for years but that is the only style I ever copied. In the morning I’m like the seven dwarfs. Sleepy, Dopey, Grumpy…

    I decided to have my long hair cut to shoulder length this year. Now I don’t have to put it up every night to avoid pulling it in my sleep. More astoundingly, the hairdo that is getting complimented by friends and family comes courtesy of my hubby – channeling his inner hair stylist! xD

    Back in my thirties, I used to go to a special, long-hair-only salon in NYC, where my butt-length hair was considered nothing special (Crystal Gayle, with her floor-length hair, was a client). To say hair was a religion there was an understatement. It was fabulous until I started going grey at 35, so I decided to cut my hair so as to make coloring it easier. Even decades later, part of me misses those days.

    As a rule, a Maine Coon is not a threatening cat- at least to a human. People know these cats as being very even-tempered and distinctly lovable. An average ally cat… well, even a large alley cat, would have entirely different point of view (an effect that did not escape the eye of his former employer, Mr Nibbles). Max was by no means a bully, but he knew how to use his assets to get what he wanted. Intimidation was natural- he just had the type of presence that made other cats acquiesce. And in all honesty, he really preferred to “use sugar” rather than vinegar. But he was well aware that the path ahead would not be that simple, nor that easy. Yes, he was going to be engaging other cats, unknown cats- and he would be on their turf. But that was part and parcel to the job, and another cat- even multiple cats- had never been a challenge to Max. It was the unknown factor that he was concerned with. Should it be needed, he may actually have to go up against a dog. And if so, this would not be like that loudmouth Labrador back home. These were fighting dogs. They did nothing else. “We’ll just have to see how good Megan’s power of persuasion really is…”

    LOL! I know exactly how the Woman feels. I’ve tried to give myself bangs every now and then when I feel like I can’t stand my look and I need a change, but every time I’ve done I instantly regret it. It just doesn’t work for my face. (sigh) I have curly hair but it’s messy curly and I’ve pondered perming it to get that curls contained within chaos look. That’s what I call it, haha!

    You know… it’s nearly Georgia’s birthday! I wish I could remember the exact date of it, but I know it’s at the end of November because I’m only a few days older than she—my birthday was November 16, 1981 and she was also born in ‘81 and I remember a few years ago she mentioned what her birthday was and I thought it interesting because she just missed being a Scorpio by a hair! She’s a Sagittarius and it makes a lot of sense because they are extroverts, optimistic and enthusiastic, and like change whereas Scorpios, like me, tend to be moody and introverted. :-)

    I retired and cut my hair. It takes me about 2 minutes to dry it, if I want to take the time. However, I think my cats don’t like it as they would sit on the counter and play with my hairties and brushes while I dried.

    Good morning and happy bunday, orbsters and orbabies. My hair is shoulder length (bangs have long since disappeared into the general mass) and am searching for a style to wear to mother-in-law’s wedding in early January. I don’t want to wear it loose because sister-in-law and I will be decorating the hall in early afternoon before we get gussied up. I am thinking of a French braid with a bun at the bottom, but I have seen a lot of interesting styles on the internet. But, I can’t spend too much time at the hairdresser’s because I have to whip Paul into presentability for the wedding (he’s a track pants and t-shirt guy and bitterly resents being forced into anything else). Oh well, I’ll figure something out.

    Yes indeed, bangs are not for everybody. I hate them. My Momma loves them. But wasn’t allowed to wear them as a child. So guess what I wore until I was old enough to fight back. To this day, Momma is still trying to get me to wear them.

    “It’s a bold look she’ll immediately regret” should be on a poster in every hair salon in the world (full disclosure: I only go to my hair stylist (god bless her for putting up with me) when I absolutely have to…she carefully, professionally and with great love styles my long hair and bangs (without bangs, my forehead is approximately the size of Montana), puts in some highlights and lowlights, and then lets me slide out of the chair 1/2 way through the blow-dry because that’s about as long as I can handle someone working on my hair)…cut my hair once to shoulder-length for “something different” and did, indeed, immediately regret it!

    I wanted bangs as a child but my mom would not allow me to have them, stating that my “forehead is too low”. Not sure what her reasoning was, as my forehead is and always was quite high enough. She finally relented when I was about 12. Wore them for several years until fashion changed, then went back to them in the 80s and kept them with my long straight hair until a year ago when I grew frustrated that nobody seemed to be able to cut my baby fine hair evenly. I let them grow out enough to get a “fresh start”, then got out my barber shears, sectioned the hair evenly and combed it down over my face. And then stopped in my tracks because the hair has thinned to the point that there’s not enough for decent bangs. According to the dermatologist, the stresses of the last two years are probably at least part of the cause, and it “may” come back eventually. So I am unhappily bangless and mom is probably clapping with joy wherever she is. ; ) The only advantage is without bangs I can shampoo less often—so keep that in mind, Woman and all other exhausted moms!

    For six years now, I have shaved my head. What I had was thinning and turning white and grey. The look has apparently shaved some years off of me, too, as most people I encounter seem to think I’m in my 50s, instead of my mid-60s.

    If I didn’t know better, I’d swear the Woman was a contemporary of my mom, particularly with the high-school hairstyle.

    As for me, I’m an Army brat (sort of … my dad was in the National Guard) so I default to something that isn’t quite a buzz cut, but isn’t a whole lot longer, either. (The last time I got an actual buzz cut was as a show of support for my SIL who was undergoing chemo at the time. This was when I learned I have developed a prominent widow’s peak.)

    Well, this is timely…. I have an appointment with a stylist in a few weeks and, yes, I’m considering bangs… and possibly going as short as just-below-shoulders. I haven’t had it that short since second grade when my mother cut my long hair up to my jaw (I still haven’t forgiven her for that….).

Here is one of them, that I “tweaked” to make it lighter, so that you can see more of Newton at home. I also “trimmed the noise”. I have shared it on fb, so that BCN and Newton’s “staff” are aware of my actions. “So far, so good.” FYI, if anyone cares, I’m doing better. lol! :) https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10213097519092978&set=p.10213097519092978&type=3&theater

    High school in the early 70’s. Hair so long I was able to grow it long enough to sit on, one year after my Dad told me his Mom, my beloved Grandma, had hair long enough to sit on. Kept it that way for 20 years, then found out the weight of it was pulling my neck out of whack. Been shoulder-length ever since. Which is another 20+ years ago now…flies time when you’re fun having.

    For a couple of years after my neck fusion, I wore my hair collar length in the back to cover the scar. This earned me condemnation to hell when a street preacher visited the University of Rhode Island campus and quoted 1 Corinthians 11:14 at me. Asked him what Paul said about covering up a surgical scar due to a medical condition and was told that the need for the surgery was a consequence of my rebellion against God.

    And that’s the story of how it took four people to physically drag me away to keep me from assaulting an able-bodied man a foot and a half taller than me.

    When I was not quite 2 I fell and got half inch horizontal scar right in the middle of my forehead. My mother insisted that I wear bangs to “cover up that ugly scar!” Then she wanted my hair short in a pixie cut because it took too long to take care of long. When I was about 10 my cousin showed me how to cut my own hair and I refused to let my mother come near me with scissors again. My hair now is halfway down my back, fine, ultra straight, and just going silver-gray in the front so it looks like I have platinum blond highlights in dark blonde. Every few months I go to the local beauty college and let one of the students trim the split ends. Other than that, I just brush it in the mornings and if I want something fancy, my oldest daughter does incredible braids.

    As a child, my mother didn’t want the hassle of dealing with long hair, so I had short hair up until I could start taking care of it myself. My hair goes just a little past the top of my shoulders. As much as I would love longer hair, I can’t stand when I’m stilling and I have to pull my hair out of the way or else start pulling on it. Kind of hard to explain, but those with long hair understands.
