I "hit menopause" at 39...that's when I had a hysterectomy!

And I don't bleach or dye my hair, its very long, dark brown, all natural! Women inmy family don't start going grey until much later, late 50s, early 60s. My mom is 85 and only has some grey.

85 is a good age, my grandads about that age and he still rides his bike everywhere. you've got him to thank for me learning to ride a bike plus building me my first racer aged 9, some 22yrs ago.

My hair started greying at 15. I'm early 40s now and nearly completely white. It looks cool and I like it.

I'll just take things back to the topic of hair care. I've got long hair (a couple of inches past my shoulders) and a few months ago it was a bit longer but i was having problems with split ends, so i went to my hairdresser and got those taken off and a style cut, leaving it long. The important thing is i thought cycling with all that sun, sweat and wind was affecting my hair so i had a good long chat with my hairdresser about it and found out that i was right, and he recommended these products that help to keep it clean, moisturised, shiny and healthy. I use them and get regular trims to maintain my style and the problem has been solved. I even CAN blowdry, as long as i use these moisturising products which stop the hair from becoming dried out. It can be expensive though using salon products, but if they help you to keep the long hair looking good, its worth it.

I wish to thank you for providing information that may help others to make the decision to leave their hair long, gorgeous and sexy! If I ride behind, it doesn't necessarily mean I couldn't pass. It just means I didn't want to.

I second that! I'm on a personla mission to keep middle aged women from cutting their hair too--by being a role model (lol).....btw I use John Frieda BRUNETTE hair products, works for me!


PS to Beastt, LOVE your new animated avatar! Only thing is, I can't seem to read what it says on the bottom.

my partner uses hair mask from boots, she says its great, smells nice too especially the banna flavour, also she costs me a fortune purchasing items from lush for her hair.

but she swears that using shampoo to often causes damage to her hair since it is a detergant, so she uses it maye once a week ut all the other times she uses conditioner, and maye a hair mas left on for longer periods of time.

I had - HAD - 2 feet of hair before I cut it in May for my first tri (too much of a pain shoving it all under a swimcap). I too could not envision sweating my butt off and not washing it every day. I switched to Matrix Essentials, shampoo plus spray on leave in conditioner, and it solved my dry-hair-from-overwashing issues.

It says "Lance" on top and "Armstrong" at the bottom.

The Lance was easy to see, but the bottom was not. I think its because of how it turns? Anyway, GREAT logo! Love it

first of all, lots of women (especially as they get older) really don't need to wash their hair everyday. my mom is 53 and has dry, coarse hair that she washels 2-3x a week max. and she goes to the gym everyday! really, sweat is mostly water and salt, and i kind of like the texture it gives my hair. so stop saying it's gross!

i had long hair up until a few weeks ago when i cut it just for kicks (not cycling related). I didn't know all helmets were not ponytail compatible, so I guess I was just lucky buying mine-it fit easily in the straps on the back that keep the thing forward on your head.
