"FOB" Okay, here's the bitter truth. As you get older your hair gets
thinner. As
it turns grey or white those hairs get wiry so it gets harder to make it
do
what you want it to do. And, as you get older most get less concerned
about
their looks and less willing to spend lots of time on their appearance.
Thus a nice short hairdo that is basically wash and wear is very appealing
to the wearer.

Okay, I agree with nearly everything you wrote. Except, sometimes the "nice
short hairdo" isn't as nice as the person things. It looks more like a
concentration camp inmate or a poodle with a bad clip.

But not stretchy. I like knits.


Okay, then, I have just what you need! It's called micro-fleece. Comes in a
lots of colors like dune, ravine, ridge, cloud, and overcast (not to be
confused with slate or gneiss). It is so light, it seems as if it isn't
there! LL Bean has them in pullover or zip front. Something for everyone
and SO pretty!

typo there. the word is "thinks"

"FOB"
Yes, I have quite a few fleece items.

Well, if they're not micro-fleece, you just don't know what you're missing!
I tried to tell a guy about this stuff and he said, "I've had fleece for
years!" but this ain't your grandpa's fleece. It's thin and light and
doesn't wrinkle.

And also -- which my hair guy told me a year or so ago -- the grey
hair that comes in is not as strong and more likely to break. He said
I had a lot more hair, but it was grey and all broken -- only a couple
of inches long. So I can imagine when I get more and more grey, it
won't make sense to try to keep it any longer -- not without a lot of
messing with it, which I just don't do anymore.

I am sorry your hair is getting broken, but I see plenty of older people
around here with long gray hair...most of them aging hippies (men!), but
still....I know a woman with gray hair and she tells me it is wiry and
coarser than her brown hair (and more resistant to curling). So,
everybody's hair is different and not everyone's gray hair is the same.

I haven't worn those since I was a hippie in high school!

But everything I wear is that comfortable.

Hippies wear plaid? Where on earth do you live?

Well, of course, what you see would be much more accurate than what my
hair stylist might think.

I thought I was grumpy -- at least I have good days here and there.
You don't seem to have that going for you.

Fortunately, it's all gone. I won't purchase more. :-)

I'm not sure how telling me my hair is breaking off would make me feel
better? Unless you're "looking around" with your face two inches from
your friend's head, I'm not sure how you can tell what's going on with
their hair.

1. He's trying to tell you that "it happens to everybody." It doesn't.
That's my point.
2. I can see people with long gray hair, so this business of gray hair
breaking and being weak isn't true of everyone. If that's what he told you,
then he was trying to make you feel better about your hair problems.
3. I can "look around" and see people with thin hair and thick hair--all of
the thin hair I see isn't gray. Some of it is, but not all.
