Bored with my hair.. again. Had it coloured recently and it's a bit dark..especially down the lengths. I really would like to try going grey again soon.
I fancy a short cut..but a bit scared of looking like a bloke !
Current hair and a couple if ideas... any thoughts?

Wow! Your new haircut looks amazing - very flattering. I'm similar age to you (47) and have been having my hair cut shorter and shorter for the past couple of years - I am probably a couple of cuts ahead of you in terms of going even shorter 
. I now get mine cut above my ears (I got fed up with tucking it behind them and finding that my hair had escaped again!). I also have my fringe quite a bit shorter and tend to use hair product to hold it up even more, so most of my forehead is exposed. As far as hair products go, I stick with the one that my hairdresser uses - it's this one. I just run my fingers through my (dry) hair with a bit of this on, and it creates a bit of a messy, textured look. I have to style my hair every day now that it's shorter, but it is very quick to wash/dry/style so that doesn't bother me.
Hope you enjoy the world of shorter hair!

Ah thank you for being so kind :) I do wonder if I should have had the sides shorter..they are tucked behind my ear and one taekwondo class later.. in full sparring kit (yes.. menopausal and nuts 
) I now am wearing a less flattering sweat mushroom on my head !! I think I will have to do daily styling while I get to grips with it.
I took the brown hair cut pic with me on my phone and said 'sort of like that'! A bit of a risk at a walk in cutting bar, but hell.. hair grows again so I figured if I hated it it would grow. Dh is away tonight but he assures me he doesn't mind whatever I do. My sons however have both gone WTF MUM?! (aged 18 and 22 and think all women should have LONG hair lol)

Medusa you look fab. Amazing cut that suits makes you look years younger and much more fancy .
Supercosmic I could post a photo that would prove how monumentally wrong your statement is but I can't be arsed.
Grey hair is not ageing. Looking old makes you look old.

That looks great you're bound to get loads of compliments
Shorter & styled is much more flattering when you get older, it lifts your face
As for going grey, DONT DO IT, it's so ageing, even my mum has a semi permanent colour every 6 weeks & she's 93!!
