I don't know why my hair is so curly. All my life it was straight. In my early 20s I got a couple perms and now I am left looking like Mr. Kotter

Most hairstyles are not permanent. I say that you should give it a try for a while. I think it looks great and super fun--something us older gals need once we hit "a certain age".

I love it! looks professional and chic!

I like it, too! When you said "asymetrical bob", I was thinking that it was going to be really dramatic but I think that it's just asymetrical enough to be age-appropriately hip. I think it's cute and you should give it a try; you can always have it evened up later if you like.

The girl who does my hair is only 27 (I am 48). I give her parameters to work within, and other than that, she has free reign. I do it that way on purpose because I don't KNOW what's current so she keeps me from looking like a little old lady (hopefully). I think it's great that you've got a fresh, young lady cutting your hair and she did a good job!

losermom, dragonwoman, & Windchime - thanks for sharing your thoughts. I DO tend to get stuck in a rut with my hair and my glasses. One of my goals this year was to update my look while still being age-appropriate.

Which leads me to Gary's comment -

Well, then the teachers will love it! It's hip

if you're feeling uncomfortable, or like its age inappropriate, just get the other side cut so its not asymmetrical.

do whatever feels comfortable to you!

I think it looks very cute on you! I agree that you'll look very 'hip' at school and the kids will love it--the girls anyway, you know boys-they don't notice things like hairstyles! I think you look great

I think you look really pretty! You should keep it

Thanks everyone for your help! I'm keeping it
