40 Something, 50 Something....even 60 Something....Relaxed or Natural or Transit..

LET ME SEE YOUR HAIR! Please post pics. I would like to see the "mature women"...."old heads".....no offense "young heads". On you tube I seem to find really young ladies sharing. I have been on this sight for a bit now, so I'm just curious to see the mature ladies hair. It seems that these ladies are not posting as frequent. My most recent hair pic is in my avatar from my last relaxer in Feb. I plan on doing my hair tonight so I will come back and post. I am 14 wks post so I will show the good, the bad and ugly...LOL!

I am 49 yrs young and proud of it! I have post pics not long ago but will do so in the near future. Posting pics take some time for me to do. I haven't master poster pics yet and I am going to also create an album.

Fabulous! I have a bun today that I plan to show when I get home before I do my hair tonight. I am too sick of this bun it has got to go.

I'm glad you posted this thread because I was looking for some gray haired ladies for inspiration for my mom. I hennaed her hair on Monday night and I'm taking her for a cut and curl tomorrow. Her hair is a "fiery red" because of the henna but I rather prefer her gray. I will post pics of her hair after it's done tomorrow. She's 67.

I'm 47!!!!

I BC'd almost a year and a half ago. I was less than an inch away from waist length when I big chopped.

40s, 50s, 60s, etc. our hair still grows. As long as you're relatively healthy your hair will grow and be healthy.

Checking in. I'll be 45 on the 23rd. Hold up. What?

Ok, I'm back.

I haven't been taking pics latelys so, my pics are slim pickins but...

Here's me bunned up (It was a braid out gone wrong with thin relaxed ends):

Freshly curlformed

Random speckled mirror on the floor pic with hubby sleeping in the background. (That's my bedside mirror I use to do my hair while watching tv in bed. This pic was never meant to see the light of day. Just checking rain damage.)

Yep. That's all I have for this year.

I'm currently transitioning and cutting away relaxed ends. I'm about 59 or 60 wks post (don't make me do the math) and HL going for TL (or BCL). I plan to cut back to HL for a neat hemline at the end of the year.


ETA: Dang. My pics are huge. Sorry 'bout that. )

Yes we could use some more inspiration for the mature ladies. I have been contemplating letting my gray show for some months now....still undecided. My mother and aunts have the most beautiful gray hair. Don't forget to post a pic!

NJoy your hair have me drooling. You know I love your hair. Oh how I wish I could stretch that long to get a glimpse of my natural hair. I wish I could find more ladies this age sharing on you tube.

O CherryPie I remember your long beautiful hair.....I fainted when you cut it. I don't think I could have done it. Of course your natural hair is so thick and nice. I know our still grows, I just would like to see more tutorials and regimens of what the ladies are doing with their hair.

Early 60's (62 in July). My picture is posted on each post. I'm not sure if I'll relax again or go natural. I haven't relaxed in about almost 6 months.

Hi Coffee! Had you on my mind when I was typing 60. Your hair looks so healthy. I want to be natural but I have major problems stretching.....I don't know.

OK, I decided to play since next month, I'm going to be 49! With the Lord's blessings! I'm celebrating by making this last year in my forties a sweet one!
Look for a lot of up and coming face shots and hair-do's, though I've shown my face on my avatar before. All you ladies look stunning, I must say!

Re: 40 Something, 50 Something....even 60 Something....Relaxed or Natural or Transit.

I don't have any pics of it at MBL-waist because the laptop that I had the pics on died. I'm going to see if my daughter has some.
