Really long, all the way down my back. None on my head, just all the way down my back. LOL Sorry I know it's a really old joke. Really it's shoulder length.

Mines sounds similar to Valley's. Always had my hair long until daughter came along, and she use to pull it out by the roots! Had it all cut off, and have never looked back, and hubby prefers it short!!

Hi Sylvia, I've always had short hair. Until recently I had the shortest hair in the family until my husband decided one Xmas to do away with his pony tail and almost shaved his head!! Took a bit of getting used to! :-))

Had very long hair at school mum used to platt it for me as it was down to my waist trouble was when i was at school some boy i didnt like cut the platt by half but i carried on and grew it, right up till i was about 35 i could sit on it then all of a sudden i decided a drastic change was needed and have now hair just above my shoulders but i have still got the hair that was cut off 20 years ago.

29 cms hanging normally or 38 pulled straight! Have always had long hair except for a rebellious streak at 13 when I had it cropped and a mistake with a perm in my 20's. Has got curlier and darker as I have got older with a few natural 'highlights' started to show. Jacky:-)

They say that all men like long hair. Is this true I wonder. I have short hair, and always have had. I don't have thick hair either, rather thin. I'm pleased that two out of 3 of my children have inherited my husband's hair. He, at 80 next year, still has a good crop of hair, grey, yes, but still plenty of it. My mother used to tell me how her mother used to brush her long hair for hours. I'd have nothing left, if mine was brushed for hours! I'm lucky that I don't have too much grey hair either - no worries I suppose. I did use by mistake a mousse on my hair which turned it red, ginger, or whatever name you could call it. I was so upset that I had my hairdresser give me a complete colour rinse. I now have hair of all colours, because before I had the mousse accident I had blonde streaks in my hair. I'll be glad when it's all grown out. One more cut I hope!
