OP your hair looks fab brown.

(And now I really want a glass of lager!).

Notagain16 · 08/11/2016 19:47

Brown!

ItShouldHaveBeenJess · 08/11/2016 19:48

Actually I liked the blonde, but I have to admit the brunette makes you look younger, plus brings out your lovely eyes more. I've often read that women should lighten their hair colour as they get older, but seeing both pics, I'm not convinced. And just - you're twenty six, no need to worry about how old you look just yet, but no need to be unpleasant either, eh?

TempusEedjit · 08/11/2016 19:50

Brown hair looks loads younger on you OP.

Roussette · 08/11/2016 19:53

I much prefer the blonde, I think you look striking with it. The brown is just mousey

SukeyTakeItOffAgain · 08/11/2016 19:53

Yes I like the brown too.

Walkinglikeazombie · 08/11/2016 19:53

Definitely prefer brown hair on you OP, looks lovely!

Whatthefoxgoingon · 08/11/2016 19:56

I had guessed 58 so not far off. I'm pretty good at guessing people's ages, even the ones who everyone else think look young.

GreenBudgie · 08/11/2016 20:00

Brown :-) Maybe a more ash brown, but you look lovely with an optimistic smile.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 08/11/2016 20:03

The brown looks nice because it's so shiny but you can acheive that shine with blonde using the right products. Violet shampoo, argan oil conditioners and Elvive extraordinary oil are wonder products.

I like a lady that can handle a pint Smile.

GreenBudgie · 08/11/2016 20:03

...... and please share your skin care regime, I have tried asking for regime recommendations on another thread, but was ignored as not one of the "in creed" Best wishes to you for better ongoing health :-)

Rachel0Greep · 08/11/2016 20:14

You look fab, OP. Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis.

BumWad · 08/11/2016 20:18

You look great in your first pic!

But yes brown is more you Smile

margiebargie · 08/11/2016 20:22

You look lovely with brown hair, and it takes about 15 years off you! The brown looks better because it suits your skin tone, which the blond doesn't - the blond cheapens you, I think.

SuperFlyHigh · 08/11/2016 20:28

The brown is really nice op.

For what it's worth my mum was diagnosed with RA at your age and is on or was on methotrexate and steroids. It's an awful illness. Pm me if you want to know more. Take care and sorry I was mean early totally uncalled for. Flowers

SuperFlyHigh · 08/11/2016 20:28

Earlier!

Evvy543 · 08/11/2016 20:57

42? X

CauliflowerSqueeze · 08/11/2016 21:02

I hope I look as good as you at 59!

Your hair looks great both colours, but I think the brown looks really lovely.

GetOutMyCar · 08/11/2016 21:02

I think you look much younger with brown hair.

thestarryeyedsurprise · 08/11/2016 21:09

Justhere clearly quite an immature 26 year old in that case. Like previous posters say if you don't have anything nice to say then do fuck off.

Lovepancakes · 08/11/2016 21:17

I'd guessed 44 but was nervous of posting in case you were younger! Wow. And I think you look younger still with brown hair. Do you have an amazing diet or skin care routine?!!

Notagain16 · 08/11/2016 21:18

Some really nasty and unnecessary comments on this thread.

Now we know a bit more about the op, guess what, she's human.

savedbythebell · 08/11/2016 21:35

I'm around the same age as the op and I know exactly what she means when she talks about working with young people. It can make you feel ancient. But I should imagine a lot of those young ones hope to look like the op when they get to her age.

PlymouthMaid1 · 08/11/2016 21:52

Bertha you look lovely. I like your hair and you have a gorgeous smile and happy eyes. I was going to guess a well looked late fifties or a rather frazzled forty. I sympathise with being the oldest at work as I am very nearly that person.
