I'm 61 & have waist-length hair, tho since I wear it in a bun few people notice. I'm too inept to do one braid, but I used to wear it that way when my daughter was still home to braid it for me. I've never wanted to dye my hair simply because that would be just one more thing on my to-do list. Plus I'd probably not be able to remember what the previous color was.

My inspiration to not cut my hair when I got older was seeing an older lady with pure white hair in a thick braid that came below her waist. She was beautiful!

I know a man who's about my age who also wears his long, white hair in a braid. He's beautiful, too!

If I end up in a nursing home, I suppose they'll cut my hair, but I won't like it - if I notice.
