I'd love to be able to braid my hair up again some day!
It’s become a cultural norm: women of a certain age cut off their hair.
By Dominique Browning
A concerned friend suggests that it undermines my professional credibility. But in the middle of my life, I’m happy with it. Which is saying a lot about anything happening to my 55-year-old body.
What’s worse (to my critics) is that my hair is graying. Of course it is. Everyone’s hair is graying. But some of us aren’t ready to go there. That’s fine with me — I’m not judgmental about dyes.
No one seems to have any problems when a woman of a certain age cuts her hair off. It is considered the appropriate thing to do. I can see the appeal, and have, at times in my life, gone that route. The short of it is that long hair means there is always, at least, hope.
