Do you think a pixie cut is ageing?

[Summer15coming]

I've booked a hair appointment for next week, and am thinking about going for a dramatic change. At the moment my hair (straight and dark brunette) is just past my shoulders. It is also in bad condition due to multiple colourings to hide the greys.

I've had short hair in the past and loved it. I'm very tempted to go for a pixie cut now partly to get rid of the out of condition hair, but also because I fancy a change. My worries are a) that I won't suit it now that I'm 45 and b) that it will age me. As background, I'm frequently told that I look much younger than 45, and don't want that to change once I've gone for the chop! I've included a picture so that you can tell me if you don't think I'd suit it. For what it's worth, I do have a long neck (hidden by my clothes in the pic) and I'm slim. I don't know if those factors are important or not for a short cut!

It's a sign.

Thank the universe, and keep your gorgeous hair.

Yea I'm going with "it's a sign"
As well. You're gorg and you DO look years younger than your age..but it's a lush doe-eyed feminine warm beauty you have vs an elfin gamine beauty. Just my opinion. I think your long brunette hair suits you..honey highlights around the face would be beautiful !

I'm in the process of growing out very short hair for the first time in 8 years. I fricking hate it. All that hair flopping about in my face and eyes, takes ages to dry, looks unkempt most of the time. I can't wait to have it all cut off again. I'm 41 and I don't care if it's 'ageing' (which actually I disagree with, I think a short cut on older women looks fabulous - think of Judi Dench!).
But, it's essential to be in the hands of a hairdresser you trust. So I'd go for a tidy up for now and wait until your hairdresser's hand has healed and have her lop the whole lot off.

Judi Dench looks amazing - but she's 82.
