I have a hideous cowlick in the very front, making me look like a total horror without bangs, yet WITH bangs they are always uneven because of said cowlick boosting up one side while the other lays, of course, FLAT.
[/QUOTE]
Me too! However, in recent years I have outsmarted the cowlick by cutting my bangs crooked. If I want them to appear to be cut straight across, I actually cut them so they are long in the center. If I want them to sweep towards the side, I keep them long on the “flat” side and cut them short on the “cowlick”. And for the love of all that is holy, only cut bangs when your hair is bone dry!

I’ve got a cowlick at my bangs, but it’s not a really intense one, and I wear my bangs on the long side. More weight…less cowlick.

It’s true you fellows are more plagued with the baldness issue; but at least you can grow snazzy beards to “hide a multitude of chins.”
[/QUOTE]
Well, my mom’s working on a moustache, at least. Perhaps she’ll expand to a beard?
I hate my hair too. When I lived in Atlanta I spent all my paycheck on fabulous haircuts from dear Louie. I’ve never been happy with my hair since, ever. Got spoiled.

You SO don’t know Eve. Jeans? JEANS? I think not.

The jeans, tie dye, etc woulda been worn by me, silly…dressing the part to sing the song. Note that the fact that I can’t carry a tune in a pickup truck is cheerfully ignored for the purposes of this excercise.

Okay, Eve’s hair did shoot my dog. But it was self-defense. Sparky was usually a good dog but he got mean when he’d been drinking.
[/QUOTE]
Mmm, I don’t know. I think Eve’s hair shot your dog just to watch it dye.
So, I went to one of those “every goddam magazine in the world” stores, looking for a hair mag that might give me cutting/styling tips. They had about a dozen hair magazines, but all of them were for girls under 25 who were either in the prostitution or traveling carnival professions.

What’s a middle-aged lady to do?
[/QUOTE]
Have you looked around on line? There are some sites with pretty decent hair-do pictures.
However, as one middle-aged lady to another…I’m considering going to a high-end salon and letting someone who really knows what they’re doing diagnose my hideous mop and give me a good, custom designed cut. Then I go to my regular middle of the road girl for maintenance.

An excellent idea . . . But NYC is chockful of high-end salons, and you can easily pay $300 to wind up looking like a girl under 25 either in the prostitution or traveling carnival professions. I wanna bring a photo with me and say, “I want that.”

Yeah, there’s always that chance. I know I want to try this method, but I just can’t part with that much money for a 'do that might be a 'don’t. I already spend $120 a pop for highlights. And they’re not even dramatic!

Here are some mid-length styles on mostly famous women.
[/QUOTE]
Too long: I’m thinking more “Cynthia Nixon in season one of Sex and the City.” Real short at the back and sides; just long enough at the top and front for some foufing.
Jeans? JEANS? I think not.
