when are you too old to...

[AuntyQuated]

straighten your hair???

[AuntyQuated]

recently i've spottde 2 mums at school -= in their 40s...both have curly-ish hair....i haven't seen them for a while and they are now using straighteners - they look ridiculous

[cornsilk]

Why ridiculous? Because they're in their 40's or because they have curly hair?

[iota]

I have straight hair - naturally - I suppose I'd better just shoot myself when I get old - or put a bag over my head

[AuntyQuated]

because they look like they are trying to be soemthing that they are not

[cornsilk]

And what is that?

[AuntyQuated]

my hair is straight naturally - always has been; maybe that is the difference

[Wotz]

You are never to old to straighten your hair!!
LOL, really are you serious ? Men do it too you know.

[brimfull]

omg shock horror-someone in their 40's who cares about their appearance

[Wotz]

maybe we should all just put a scarf over our heads hand be done with it.

she doesn't care!

[notenoughhoursintheday]

I'm 47 and straighten my hair. My hair has a natural slight curl but DD aged 15 hates my hair when it's not been straightened. No intention of giving up my GHD's yet

[lou33]

i love my hair curly, it's naturally straight so i pay loads to get it like it is

[DeviousDaffodil]

Why is somone trying to be something they are not, because they strighten thieri hair?
What a strange comment?
And why do you care if they straighten thier or not?

[suedonim]

My hair is wavy rather than curly and I'm not going to see my 40's again but I use straighteners. Why would I want my hair to look as though I've just stuck a finger into an electric socket???

PS I also wear make-up.

[Tutter]

am i the only woman in the western world not to own hair straighteners?

what a palava

[DeviousDaffodil]

suedonim you hussy. AMke up at your age ?
What will they say at the school gate?

[lou33]

i dont have any either

[AuntyQuated]

i just think that no matter how much you want to look good there is a cut off age for things that are the thing of the moment; i don't know what that age is, is i wanted to ask for your thoguhts.

for example, would she look better with her hair striaightneed?

[DeviousDaffodil]

What does it matter if she did?

[AuntyQuated]

it wouldn't matter to me if she did; or if she shaved it all off

but if that was me then it would matter, to me!

[DeviousDaffodil]

In answer to your Op...you are never too old for anything.
I will strraighten my hair even if i only have one left on my head.
And wear combats in my nineties with converse boots!!

[FelicityMontgomery]

Old ladies have their hair permed!!!!

How ridiculous, they should just accept the scarcrow look now they're old!?!

Is it becuse you think straight hair is fashinable? Should over forties not try to be fashionable? I'm stuggling with your logic here.

[FelicityMontgomery]

People just want their hair to look nice.
