To the hairstyle experts, please stop considering long, super curly hair fashions for women over 40. My hair will never be straight, even short, unless I spend hours at a time at it. And who has the time for that.
(FYI: Before someone suggests to straighten it, I would have to perm it first, to relax my hair, and by then, it would completely damage my hair that straightening it would probably break my hair off.)
