Yep I'm Shallow

DH and I are passionate Harley riders....to the point where we have heated gear to enable us to ride about 9 mo out of the year.  BUT....I am a 55 yo woman with a short spikey haircut...and it looks like *JF$%&*H when I take my helmet off so the routine is to take the helmet off and quickly throw a baseball cap on...not the most glamorous or cool solution!  DH started growing his hair out a couple of years ago and it is now 3 inches past his shoulders.  I've kept it trimmed straight across and it looks great...every morning I braid it for him..he says he is going for that scruffy biker look! And I have to admit he is quite the sexy hunk with that look.  I've decided that I am going to stop coloring my hair and let it grow.  Figure it will take about 3 or 4 months to get all the dye out and then my natural salt and pepper will be all there is.  I have dark brown hair with silver.  Have this fantasy of wearing a beautiful long braid down my back while riding.  Also, during the other part of my life I am rather the new age hippy chick..(I know this is multiple personalities  And it would be super to wear this feminine flowing hair up or down to suit my mood.  Ordered HairTopia and am raring to go!  Love this forum...all of you are so positive and supporting.  Plan on see a lot of me as I go through the growing out doldrums.

Welcome!  That's cool that you've decided to grow your hair out!  I've seen alot of biker women with long braids. (they even have "hair socks" to put over them to keep them from being wind-damaged!) 

I also have that multiple personality thing going.  One side of me: feminine, elegant, tailored clothing, playing the piano, reading classic literature....  Other side of me: hiking, camping, guns, cars, paintball....   So don't feel bad.

   
Hi and Welcome!

Your hair dream sounds wonderful.  It's great you can play with your hubby's hair while yours grows to where you want it.

Isn't that one of the wonderful things about being a woman!?  We can express all sides of ourselves....love it! 

     Hi 16 paws, I remember you. I'm sorry that you decided to suspend your dream of having long hair, but it only takes one successful effort. And hair, since it grows, keeps giving one chances. 

     Good luck, and BTW, DW and I have 28 paws, and one beak! Best, Bob
