Is getting your haircut after 30 really that ageing?

[twolittleboysonetiredmum]

I keep reading this on here. Am currently debating cutting off my tedious bob as am so bored of it. But have also hit my late thirties and am feeling old and shit about myself already and don't want an 'ageing' haircut!

[MaryBerrybeard]

Have your hair however you want but do stop being sneery about mum cuts (whatever they may be), highlighted hair or, conversely, dark hair. I'm not even sure what a bob is but I've probably got one!

[hazeyjane]

Here you go. Looks a bit pissed off though........

[Namechangeemergency]

That is NOT a cute fluffy kitten.
That there is a feline serial killer!

[thethoughtfox]

I'm feeling the Claire from Modern Family style curled bob.

[hazeyjane]

Better?

[Namechangeemergency]

OMG
YES

[RufusTheSpartacusReindeer]

I dont want to look soft and feminine

I think the tits give the game away in the feminine stakes to be fair...massive...i am like a ship in full sale

My hair is lovely and soft...when it doesnt have half a tonne of wax in it

I agree with other posters in the 80's short hair was very common, mine was down to my bum

And i will leave this example of femininity here

[RufusTheSpartacusReindeer]

Thats not me

Neither is this

[Cocolepew]

Hahaha at soft and feminine, you're a hoot cara.

[Cocolepew]

I look like this with long hair

[twolittleboysonetiredmum]

😂😂😂
Once my hair gets passed my ears it resembles hulk hogans in texture and style. Not feminine.
Mary berry - I don't mean to sneer at other people's hair, just acknowledge how crap it looks on me and how crap it makes me feel/my hair look. Bobs suit some people, as does dark hair, highlights etc

[Floisme]

I agree with Maryberry. Most of this thread has been friendly and fun but comments about mum cuts and post menopausal types are unnecessary and just as silly, I think as the ones about long hair being more feminine.
I mean come on, it must be 40 years since any hairstyle - long or short - merited the word 'edgy'. Most of us tag along after one tribe or other.

[Carneddai]

Okay, I did it!

Before & After. Think I want it shorter at the front.

[taybert]

Yay! I think it's lovely.

[Carneddai]

Thanks. Yeah, I love it!

[OohNoDooEy]

I like it, kinda like gwyneth Paltrow in the 90s but more modern

[PickAChew]

Nice one, carneddai 🤗

[OhMrsQ]

ooooh i love it

[twolittleboysonetiredmum]

Ta da! A hairdresser that listens! I love it. Cow flick but is going to be slightly tedious but no more so than blow drying a bob. I don't feel less feminine.
Can anyone recommend a good product for taming my cowslick which won't stick my fine hair down to my head?
Thanks for the chat about hair and listening to me moan on here, it's really helped.

[twolittleboysonetiredmum]

Love yours carneddai, really suits you

[Cocolepew]

Ohhh they are both lovely, looks great 👍
I use a fat wax stick, I think I got it from the mens bit in Boots.

[PossumInAPearTree]

Looks amazing. Love it.

[PossumInAPearTree]

Tigi wax sticks are meant to be good.

[Cocolepew]

something like this
I used to use a Toni and Guy one which I loved. Then they stopped making it, I didn't realise they did a mens one.

[GoofyTheHero]

Looks fab!
