Pipa is the most stylish presenter on Q and I am liking her hair longer it suits her.

Me likey too...Pipa can carry off almost any hair style I think..well, those I've seen so far have all been okay!

She seems to be one of those lucky buggers who suits any hairstyle and has the bottle to try them out

I wish I could say the same...I saw some old pics the other day and when I was 18 my hair looked pretty much as it does now - ok, a bit longer and a lot darker, but the style was very familiar! I need volume, I need wdith on the sides, and it seems the only thing I change is whether I take it to the left or the right - it does lie a bit differently but that's about it!

I think it takes a lot of guts to go for a radical change, Ive never bought into the reach a certain age and chop all your hair off theory but lots of people I know have gone down that route and it actually aged them.

Today I took the plunge and had 3 inches cut off and now at shoulder length it looks fab (I know blowing my own trumpet but it does).

My DD has forbidden me to go for the chop! She says I wouldn't look like her mum shorter. At 54 I do get gradually longer trims only to be inspected on return! I have warned her when I start looking like a witch it's getting chopped (only to slightly below shoulders though).

Horses for courses LIAM - and in my experience daughters tell the unvarnished truth!!!

i don't think pipa does suit every style any more than anyone else would. the big-eared elvis was dire. she definitely suits a fringe though and the way she has it in that pic is a huge improvement on anything else i've seen.

 

[BurlyBeaR]

Big eared Elvis? LOL I Really liked that look!

 

[Lemonsqueezy]

I have had hundreds of different styles over the years but i dont mess with the colour.

I never worry about changing my hair style because luckily hair grows so even if I hate it it'll soon grow out!

Haven't seen her new look yet but from that picture she reminds me a bit of Julie Driscoll......

I've gone for everything from a pixie crop to hair down to my shoulder blades and back again. Mostly it's about shoulder level as that suits me best.

I've recently grown out my fringe which is a first for me since my early teens. Still not sure if I like it lol

Ive always wanted to grow my fringe out but that would be a big mistake. Tefal forehead

I've had everything from long to cropped from ink black to platinum.I like a style for so long and then I want a challenge almost to grow in into something new.I've even revisited styles and colours thinking I could do it better 2nd time around!!!I ve changed partings,had fringes/not had them - but sometimes out of all the colours and hairstyles,the partings and the fringes changabout is the hardest,as the hair gets used to growing and being a certain way.I hate fringes and haven't had one for years.My last attempt didn't work out because my hair wouldn't sit and do it,after so many years of not having one.

I think Pipa's hair looks awful at the moment.I hated her bleach blonde hair but when it was a short style in a rich colour,it suited her.Personally I think shes lost her edge now and the thing that made her look cool.I've notyiced her ears and nose more than I have ever done before.

yer shakes it to the left, yer shakes it to the right..etc..! It's actually quite surprising (to me at least!) how different your hair can look - far easier for me, being right handed, to take it to the right, but then I get big hair and a quite different shape to the "do" - to the left, it's more difficult to dry going the "wrong" way, but I still get enough volume but quite a different overall shape, the better shape I think, to suit my face. Which, to be perfectly honest, would look at it's best with a paper bag over it!

a big mistake for me too - I've got a Nick Cotton sort of forehead, quite low, but I need a sort of half fringe to soften my squarish shaped face..
