Mumsnet Talk

Cruel but funny.
The Daily Mash is a bit of a national treasure.

Oh, crap, I have shorter hair and do gardening

<wails, I'm only 43>

Sorry hiddenhome, it's a future of Rose Tremain and celibacy for you!

My mum is always on about mum and granny hair, I do agree it a certain look though.

My DP aged 40 hates short hair on women. Really irrational but he's always been like this.

another 43year old short haired gardener here (and I'm totally grey- it's a nice grey though ).

44yo short haired woman here. I hate gardening, but do like Rose Tremain!

(DH really likes my short hair, so ner!)

Oh shit, I thought it made me look like Anne Hathaway! <wail>

What's Rose Tremain? (sounds nice)

Rose Tremain is, I suppose, 'mum literature'

I looked after an old lady a while back (she's sinced left us) who whenever I washed/brushed her hair would lecture me about not giving her old lady 'cauliflower' hair.

Oh, dear, I thought perhaps it was soap or something like that

What supermarkets does she shop at? I've yet to be hit on by a divorced man in the supermarket (not that I actually want to be hit on you understand).

Oh I saw that and if made me smile. DP also has a rather puzzled 'why do women do that to their hair?'
Well now he knows

I howled at this

"It's the equivalent to disappearing into the garden shed "

I work with a lady, in her 60's who's never been married and is happily single.

I'm often astonished by her hair.

Its short but styled in a way that you can't see her hair line. Looks like it just sits on top of her head

this is great

In fairness, Rose Tremain is a great writer.

I like this one

ubik me too.

My Mum has Mum Hair, with purple streaks...

Oh no! I'm only 31 but have short hair because I thought its easier with my pfb quite stylish/unusual. Boo!

its not MUm hair its grandma hair
cropped short with nasty creole gold earrings and pearlised nail varnish

it;s the new perm and set with blue rinse
