My hair hasn't been cut for over two years. It is all the way down my back. It is also falling out. I have asked my former haircut professional (my daughter) to please cut it shoulder length today. I need it long enough to still put it in a short ponytail at the nape of my neck. The rest of it . . . gone!
It doesn't help that it tangles when I'm sleeping and aggravates my already chronically itching back which is either senile pruritus or stems from my autoimmune diseases.
I style it "up" 99% of the time anyway.
I'm wondering if I can have a hairpiece made of it. I think I'll google that right now!
Oh how I hate getting old. Everything is declining. Except for the "better than the alternative" cliche, I can see nothing good about it . . . in many ways.
So . . . good morning everyone!!
ETA: Hairpiece not a good idea. They want it cut to the scalp and I ain't doin' that!!

Donate your long locks to provide wigs for cancer patients and children with hair loss. Childhood Leukemia Foundation. The Childhood Leukemia Foundation accepts hair donations for the Hugs-U-Wear program, which gives wigs to girls who have suffered hair loss as a result of cancer treatments.

I am completely hairless everywhere since menopause and the onset of Hashimoto's. I haven't shaved my underarms, arms, legs, or any other part of my body in over 25 years.
(I used to be a hairy little Italian girl, had dark hair everywhere!)

Cut mine every 6 wks. Long hair especially when we're older turns grey and ages you. Who wants to maintain something that makes you look haggard and tired.
Congrats !

Change is difficult, especially as you get older, but look at how much lighter you will feel! Now that should make you smile! Your hair might be a great change, but it will probably be a shock and you will hate it at first.
It is a drastic change but give it some time and you never know--you might love it in a few days! Run your fingers through it and shake your head!
Good luck with it! I hope it makes you smile!

It's completely white and very thin. Don't know if they would want it, but it's a good idea and I will look into it. Thanks for the suggestion!
