This is my final goal length and colourwise! It is from an article of how to care for aging parents and this lady is holding her grandchild on this pic.

I like it that they are showing more and more ladies with long silver manes instead with this awful poodle perm.

That's so beautiful!:inlove:

Hey, that's very beautiful! :grin: It's so rare to see ladies with silver manes and I'm everytime stunned how good it looks when I get a glimpse of a lady with longer grey or white hair. It's a pity that the most wear it short *sigh*.

Isn't that beautiful??!! It's an inspiration for those of us who are "older" and pressured by society to cut our hair (as we age and start turning "silver"), just like those with long silver locks here! I'm looking forward to having long silver hair.

Thank you for sharing!!

That is a beautiful photograph of a rare and lovely sight.

Thanks for the inspiration.

How lovely! It's so sleek and the colour is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing it with us!:smile:

:heartbeat :inlove: :cloud9:
need I say more?:wink:

Beautiful, ChicO! I'm so glad to begin seeing silver long-hairs (a few anyway) in magazines! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that's lovely! There's a lady at my church who has waist-length sleek straight silver hair, and it catches my eye every time I see her.

WOW. That's amazing-looking. Just gorgeous ...

I think that's the same lady they show in a hair product ad I just can't remember which. I love her hair, it's long, strong and beautiful.

That is gorgeous!

That's beautiful! I can only hope my hair looks that good when I get to be that mature! :lol:

That is so beautiful hair.
I love the picture.

Thanks for divide.

Feng-Shui:)

My dream is to have long gray hair.I think it is so beautiful.

lovely hair and beautiful photo

That is a lovely Pic. Thanks for sharing.

Totally gorgeous. I hope my hair turns that color when I am totally gray/silver.

Wow. That's a woman who loves her hair and takes care of it. Thanks for sharing. It's great that you saw it in a magazine. It's got to turn a few heads and make some women think about long hair and why not long, silver hair!

That is inspirational. My silvers are short. I wonder why.

Oooo, Thank you for sharing this. I made it my computer destop picture. What an inspiration! This is my goal, to have my silver hair to at least waist length or longer like this photo, blunt cut and in a very healthy virgin state,which it is. Now I just need 4-6 more inches!

Gosh. That is just stunning.

O WoW that's so beautiful!!! Thanks a lot for sharing with us!

Wow! She looks fabulous!

oh wow! it's beautiful & so healthy looking.

Whst wondeful pics? A few weeks ago I saw this older women who had hair down to her waist. She took off this rain bonnet and it was short and in one of the hairstyles for older women. It just makes me want to grow my hair longer and longer.

That's awesome! My grandma has long (tailbone) strong dark brown hair I've always admired and aspired - HOWEVER one time at this mall when I was oh around 13 I saw this old woman with long gorgeous silver hair and she had a attitude! Bad Ass Grandma is what I thought lol - but yes ever since I've always wanted to just let myself go gray when I go gray
..now that I think of it I'll prob henna a tiiiny bit when I first start but then just let it floooow
ahem yesh..

Wonderful! Simply wonderful! :cloud9:

So nice! I LOVE the color! :)

oooh, pretty!
I love to see long silver hair.
What an inspiration!

This is so beautiful ! It's a shame that most older women think that they have to cut their hair, because the only picture for old women we saw in the hairdresser's book is pixie cuts.

Her hair is so beautiful!

That is gorgeous hair!

It's beautiful. What an inspiration!

Oh thank you for posting that! I'm so inspired! She has my goal hair and realistically, I think I'm only a couple of years away.

What beautiful hair, she's like a Gibson grandmother. I definitely agree that more variety in hair lengths ought to be shown & encouraged, cause otherwise it just seems kind of boring/monotonous (to me at least).

Wow! How stunning!!

I guess I should show this picture to my mom, who keeps telling me that grey and long hair (loose hair) do not go together, right? It looks beautiful.

That really beautiful. That's how I would like my hair to look when I get older.

wow beautiful hair! my great aunt Lucile had long, silver hair like that. This was back in the 70s-early 80s. I remember that she always wore it in a bun, but one time (when I was very young), I saw her combing her long hair and I thought she was a fairy!

Oooo, Thank you for sharing this. I made it my computer destop picture. What an inspiration! This is my goal, to have my silver hair to at least waist length or longer like this photo, blunt cut and in a very healthy virgin state,which it is. Now I just need 4-6 more inches! Krisi
Silverlady, your hair is stunning already. I'm sure there will be many of us watching your progress over the next year!

That is such a beautiful picture. The hair is so beautifully cared for. This is *exactly* my eventual dream hair:cloud9: . Well, maybe with a few more inches.

Thank you so much, ChicO, for posting the picture, and for providing some inspiration.:inlove:

It's beautiful hair! It's an inspiration and what I aspire to (only at my 29" terminal length). I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks for sharing.

Thats gorgeous hair!

:inlove: :inlove: :inlove:

Beautiful! Very inspiring! Thanks for posting that. :grin:

Beautiful picture, great goal!
I always envy you straight hairs, especially with great silver/white coloring!
Now THAT is what I call aging with grace. Sigh.

She has such a pretty color! If I had hair like that, I'd enjoy wearing it loose all the time to show it off.

I rarely see long curly hair, much less white/grey long curly hair. I don't think I've ever seen it, actually.

Yes, it does seem there are more and more long-haired "older" models appearing in all forms of media. I'm hoping it will help to spark a backlash to the "we must all look like twenty-year-olds" when we're really fifty.

More and more of us are crossing that border into the upper stratosphere of age, and we need to give ourselves permission to discover and appreciate the beauty we OWN v that we can only destroy ourselves in attempting to obtain.

In this youth-oriented culture, though, it's a tough road down which to happily stride, particularly when you consider the gazillion-dollar beauty industry which is largely geared towards keeping us all unnaturally young in appearance.

If we're told it's okay to have wrinkles, sags, gray hair and to celebrate our beauty as we truly are, there's going to be a hue and cry from the industry. After all, they depend upon our looking at our "old" faces, gray hair, sagging butts, boobs, arms, and screaming all the way to the cosmetics counter, the hair salon and the plastic surgeon!

It's going to take a major effort on our part to override this - not only must we change the public's perception of what is beautiful, but stand up against the mass media and their negative messages to the contrary, as well.

Takes guts and determination to grow old today! ;o)

Silverlady, your hair is stunning already. I'm sure there will be many of us watching your progress over the next year!


Merry, Thank you for the lovely compliment. I don't know how many photos I can get out there as my DBF and I broke up and he was the photographer. Is there a place one can go for a photo to put on the computer who will also do the cropping and uploading? Hmmmm? Krisi

It's beautiful hair! It's an inspiration and what I aspire to (only at my 29" terminal length). I'm looking forward to it.


ladioaRosa, How do you know 29" is your terminal length? I have often wondered when one really knows what it is. Have you been growing your hair for a couple of years or longer and it just never gets any longer? I am seriously interested in your answer. I seem to be quite stuck at 28" ish for about a year now and I now wonder if this is it. I'd love to hear from you. Krisi

If my gray hair looked that good, I would let it go gray. However, and if any of you have read the post about graying hair you know how I feel, my gray hair is that yucky gray color, so, I pop on the color that is the closest to my former natural color and go. Anyway, I wish mine looked that good!

gorgeous! I could only hope for beautiful silver hair like that but all the women in my family go dark dark grey instead (which is still very beautiful to me) I am definitely wearing my hair longer when I'm older.

I hate that 'granny bob cut' that all ladies seem to get once they pass a certain ages. It's awful! Kudos to that lady! Her hair is gorgeous!

Hey there!

I've always thought that it'd be great to have really long, silver, curly hair when I was old. (Although the few silvers I have I'm not crazy about just now! :) ) My grandmother had silver, straight, thin hair which she always wore in a French twist.

You and I have similar types of hair, although mine is dark brown. You have absolutely beautiful hair! You inspire me as I was worried I'd lose the curl with more length....can't wait for the next six inches!!! (I'm at 30")

Cheers,
Gaelic Girl

I could not agree more with you! Long silver hair looks regal on women.What a beautiful picture! Thank you very much for posting it!
