What is the Best Haircut for a 48 Year Old Woman?
Q) What is the best haircut for 48 year old free spirit? My hair is straight/fine hair on top with wavy/frizzy toward the back of my head?I'm at the point where I'm ready to cut it all off, but know better.

Any licensed Cosmetologist should know how to do this. It is especially effective for people who have either 1) extremely thick or curly hair and 2) extremely thin hair. If you have thin hair, thinning it a bit actually creates more volume. Hard to believe but its true. The key however, is not to over-thin it. I have two 'whirls' on the crown of my head, which are similar to cowlicks. You are right. If you cut your hair short around them, your hair will stand up! I also have rats and knots that develop underneath my hair too. If I leave them alone, they spiral. If they don't get brushed, they get knotty.
