You appear to have posted a photo of the wrong side of your head.

I’m guessing 50 based on your devil-may-care attitude.

It’s been 12 hours now. Time for the big reveal, @Spectrewaves?

If it's a "jokey thread" how are people being "shown up"? Baffled.

I thought that was obvious from my posts. Baffled.

It's Ghost waves.

Coming to a head near you soon.

😉

I like them!

Imlyingandthatsthetruth · 24/02/2026 09:45

Well it isn't. And why have you repeated the word "baffled", it's the most pathetic way of debating?

Are you in HR?

Haha no NHS medical.

This is one of the stupidest posts on here I've ever seen.

zingally · 24/02/2026 10:33

Almost impossible to tell from the back of your head! I'll go out on a limb and say that women over the age of 50 don't have hair that length and colour.
It looks a little bit dry and straggly on the ends. Which makes me think you're busy and over-due a haircut... Which makes me think "busy mum", but the length makes me think past the baby/toddler stage... So... 35?

Read OP's comments to find out the answer on page 9 now, cba anymore. Tedious, considering this will probably go to 40 pages and will still be playing silly buggers😄

I don't get these threads. Also that's nice hair. Not frizzy, just normal, you can't see an extension line. Why are people on here so horrible? Are they meant to be roast threads?

I don't get it either. It is nice hair but perhaps people these days are used to those very sleek waves. Personally I hate that style and prefer the OP's natural look, which is comparable to Stevie Nicks' hair in the seventies when she was very young.

I feel quite insulted as my hair is very similar and I'm 53 but apart from a few horrible wiry black hairs on top it looks the same as it did thirty years ago. And the bitchy person saying she should show her hands? This is a person who - apart from being misogynistic, has no idea how quickly the years go by and how very soon, she'll have less than perfect hands.

Carlie97 · 24/02/2026 11:41

You have beautiful hair. It looks lovely and thick.

TheBlueKoala · 24/02/2026 11:41

If I would just have seen the photo I would have said 27. Having read your comments I will go with 41.

Brightlittlecanary · 24/02/2026 11:52

All I can see is a rather odd comment from the op saying typoed for 26 and can’t work out what it means , some of her comments are hard to understand,

I think this is a much older women hence why she’s not saying her age, but she likes her hair and wanted to show it off, and thinks it makes her look younger. Which is a bit odd I grant you, when you can only see the back. As body and face is key.

so I’d say she’s in her 50s.

winnieanddaisy · 24/02/2026 11:59

I was going to say 14 like my DGD . But can I also say that I am very jealous. I have very thin , fine hair and would love hair like yours .

Lostsadandconfused · 24/02/2026 05:36

You’re very brave OP, these threads are brutal.

You could be 50s - 60s, hair is no real indicator. I’m 57 and still have pretty good hair, long thick and shiny.

Brave or a bit silly? The answers are probably going to be brutal and not flattering (because we assume she's posting because she believes that her hair looks younger than her actual age, so we guess older). Of course, it could be a man or a wig or something, or just an amusing way to pass the time.

Why? They're a bit of fun and lots of people join in, including you!

If the OP ever comes back it will be interesting to see how old she is - I still say around 50.

ItalianChineseIndianMexican · 24/02/2026 17:06

Did we ever find out OPs age? I guessed late 40s as her hair reminds me of my hairdressers who is a similar age.

Motomum23 · 24/02/2026 17:07

I'd say 60

UnhappyHobbit · 24/02/2026 17:16

I would say 27. I’m not sure why you’re getting negative comments, I think your hair looks lovely. I love waves

Summerbay23 · 24/02/2026 17:44

I’d say it’s literally impossible to tell from the back of your head, somewhere between 12 and 60 would be my guess. I’m guessing since you asked probably 40 to 60 (my thinking is younger people don’t really give a monkeys).

WhamBamThankU · 24/02/2026 17:46

I’d guess late 30s/early 40s. Although it being greasy at the top and dry at the ends doesn’t help with guessing.

Brightlittlecanary · 23/02/2026 21:49

That comes across as really catty.

op you’ve lovely hair.

Interesting that you think my comment 'catty' when I stated a fact yet the loads after mine telling her it needs a brush, cut, fresh dye are not... 🤣

No, it isn't.
