How many hair styles have you had...

in your lifetime ? I’ve had just about every hairstyle you can imagine, including being bald but that was during chemo so not by choice, and gone from my natural auburn colour to jet black, blonde, streaked a bit of grey started creeping in so I swiftly reverted back to auburn, albeit from a tube of Henna, curly perm, Demi wave, bouffant, long, short, up, down, plaited, bobbed, cropped

Long wavy curly hair until I was 13 going into high school . I got it cut into a stylish shag . Grew to tailbone and got it cut into a shag again. Grew it out back to tailbone and in the last 6 months it took 3 cuts to cut it myself back to underarm length. It’s not as thick and curly this length and it’s actually harder to manage. I’ll probably grow it back to tailbone again. It’s easier to care for.
 
As a navy brat subjected to regular military haircuts I mostly had short haircuts. As soon as I was free of the family and thereby of the military I wore my hair as long as possible while remaining employable. Then I grew older, the hair thinned and I just got tired of long hair. Rather uncomfortable, truth be told. So for the last few decades I'm back to short hair. (I do love to feel air on my scalp.). Since Covid I wear whatever I can manage myself at the mirror. It ain't pretty.
 
My mom was a hairdresser, so until I was in my thirties she's the only one who ever cut my hair. When I was little she gave me a pixie cut. Then in my early teens when Vidal Sassoon was big, I had a chin length bob with heavy bangs that was shorter in the back and longer in the front. Then I let it grow long, very long all one length to my waist with no bangs, parted on the side and that was the way it was for decades. Until I cut it to shoulder length when I was fifty. That's exactly how I still wear my hair. No layers, all one length, no bangs, no major styling to do, no muss, no fuss, just the way I like it. 🙃😊
 
This was my style all through Jr High and High School. It was called a flat top, or crew cut. Then in AF basic training, they cut everything off (Not exactly a style), then after the service until now, I still comb it back of the sides, but not much on top to comb (Hence the hat for sun exposure).

Yes, variety is the spice of life. Change is good.
I tried many colors, and many styes over the years .... I'm into platinum these days.
 
I'm back to how I used to wear my hair .. see avatar. I've had a short assymetric style, circa 60's, the shag (like Jane Fonda in 'Klute'), many variations of a "bob", streaks and colours. Don't have time to maintain streaks anymore .. do my own colouring, once a month. Tried going gray, but it washes me out and doesn't suit my skin-tone. I envy those who suit white/gray.
 
My hair at its longest was 5 feet (60 inches). At the time I was just 3 feet 6 inches tall. Mostly braided intricately during that time.

Illness followed for a few years and the medication damaged my hair which then was down just below my hips.

Then by 18, I began cutting and styling to my liking and kept mid-back length. I had a few perms which never came out with the curl I wanted.

I coloured the first time in 98, to get original colour back after effects of sun and sea water bleaching.

Got fringe full of greys when son died in 2017. Maintaining shoulder length with natural colour since July 2022, when all the burnt hairs from colour experiment during pandemic fell out.

Easier to manage as the oils are back but coconut milk and honey treatments work great. I usually trim every 8 weeks, but now using rice milk to grow back to mid-back...

Had long hair all my life .. at least since mum stopped cutting it.
It's still long now and going grey and I haven't had it cut since about 1990. I kid you not. It just stops growing

Ditto and for the same reasons too. I love keeping my hair very long and all one length but I keep it as it grows. It's so much easier for me. I can bun it when the weather is hot. :giggle:
