I have had a lot of hairstyles over the years. I have gone from long to shoulder length to the pixie, that I have now. I love this length. It is easy to take care of on a daily basis. My hair had gotten so thin that my ears were poking out when I wore my hair in a chin length bob. If I let it grow long I wore it in a ponytail or a messy bun. Washing it took a while as did drying it. Now it takes no time at all. I love it. Some of my family not so much. However, since my partener is no longer alive, I have only myself to please. I love it. I no longer worry about the wind messing it up or worry about what to do with it when leaving the house. I no longer wear hair combs, clips, or ponytail holders. It is wonderful. I used to hate bangs, however, now that my hair is thin and short the bangs don't bother me. Growing older has let me to not waste time or worry about my hair thinning and I look good when I go out.
