I had a fringe for years and years. No fringe these days, but pretty much the same length/style.

 That's a great pic, you remind me of Cathy Mcgowan...she used to present Ready Steady Go, back in the day.

My hair was naturally dark brown and curly. When I got older and it needed a bit of help, I coloured it. But grey roots drove me mad, so when Covid came and we were in lockdown, I decided to grow the colour out, and the result was not grey, as I imagined, but white, as the pic shows.

The style is usually long, past my shoulders, and I wear it in a messy bun, or now and again I have it cut off and start again. The style hasn't really changed since I was in my 20's.

Speaking of hair (on another thread) how do you wear yours? Have you changed your style and colour over the years, or do you still sport the same style you wore when you were much younger?
For the men who it may concern, do you shave your head when you start to thin on top, or is the combover your style of choice?

 Thanks Vam, but honestly...I HATE it. I would advise any woman who is thinking of stopping colouring and letting nature take it's course, to think hard. I wont start colouring again because now I have spent 2 years growing it out, having it cut short, and growing again, I won't go back, but it's made such a difference to how I look, I hate it.

And it's very ageing too.

 I hear you, Syl  I doubt there’s many among us who wouldn’t change an aspect of their appearance, if they could.

So I do hear you, but I just don’t get it. I’m honestly not trying to be a kiss ass around you when I say I think you look terrific for your age.

Oh and by the way, a friend at the birthday do last night has exactly the same platinum blonde shade hair as yours. And she’s in her early 40’s

And speaking of fashion....this isn't.
Considering the freebies, perks and (according to some) fiddles, this woman gathers....why?

 She’s like Markle, no matter the bank balance, no matter the outfit, they look like bags of rags. They have stylists at their disposal and still manage to look the way they do…looking in the mirror “yeah, looking good”.  My first thought at seeing this pic was Markle in those horrendous baggy, ground trailing trousers.

The average female on the street can cobble together a good outfit for a fraction of the cost and look great. Money doesn’t always equate to taste, or class.
