Well I'm no spring chicken at 49! I am merely contributing my personal opinion(s) to these forums They dont have to meet anyone's expectations or approval..Just my personal observation. And yes I agree with all that "beauty in eye of beholder" stuff too. I've been lucky with the aging thing but that is thanks to my mom and grandmothers good genes. (My mother never had a grey hair on head til she was closer to 70) ditto for her Mother but its all the luck of the draw (and the gene pools anyway) Lets remember what these forms are about : expressing personal opinions not trying to convert readers to our way of thinking.. | |

Imagine,after a three day hike,no time to shower,ya saw that guy you gotta meet.
Were it me,your hike indicates fitness,no c/u indicates you aren't around to please me.
I don't trust women w/short hair...unless they give it for wigs used by chemo patients,seems to show insecurity.
At my advanced age,low maintence is a major plus.
You're not "old"hair is,well,the name of a musical which helped define our society.
This generation can listen to all the Airplane,Big Brother,and the Dead(Sunday regulars in'65-Philmore West) and still not "get it"-the Vietnam tradgety.
Most of the anti-war liberals protested the V.war also.
Enough political rant... Happy Easter-Charles | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 11:02:28 PM | I am over 40, and I am tired of all the traditionals-married, grown kids, suburbanites, dictating what hairstyles other women their age wear. I look like a real idiot with short hair, and it depresses me too, when some scissors happy hairstylist
goes over board and makes me look like a boy as well as a manly woman, which I am not....Ugh, ick, not for me. I am an artist/writer and creative in other ways, and BTW, I do color my hair too, and I find no problem maintaining long hair. I wash and condition it, fluff it up and it dries wavy.
Men and women both like my hair long. My mom is a short hair advocate, but that's a Mom thing, I guess. I color my hair and wear it long because it makes me feel good and feminine, and that's what counts to/with me. If people don't like me because of my hair, well, all I can say is it is their loss...I think people are getting way too concerned over unimportant things, and neglecting other more important things....That's my two cents anyway.....{And for you literary types, it does say in the Bible long hair is a woman's glory-and there is no age limit mentioned...:D} | |

Posted: 4/10/2007 11:17:21 PM | | I can imagine that long hair can be a pain to deal with...but...I think long hair on a woman is about one of the most sexiest assets she can have. I think it's beautiful on a woman at any age, that is if it's managed and clean. My grandmother lived to be 97 and always had black hair that almost reached the floor. Then again, she always wore it up in a bun. But I remember as a little kid watching her brush it...I thought it was so amazing to see someone with hair that long. | |

Posted: 4/11/2007 4:07:15 AM | | I personally prefer longer hair as long as it is kept neat and clean... but in the end it is the ladies choice. I would not want anyone to do it to please me. | |

Posted: 4/11/2007 7:56:57 AM | | I have hair that is below shoulder length, and keep it so by my choice and preferencef. It enables me to be a chameleon, changing with situations and styles. If it is a hot day, put it up, in a ponytail, whatever the mood. Putting it up doesn't have to give it the "granny look" if you are creative with French braids, twists, or even a "Pebbles" look. In cooler weather, it is mostly down. Short hair limits what you can do. Why be limited in your choices? Like other things, however, it has to be properly maintained. There is nothing worse than hair that is long, ratty looking and worn, on a man or woman. Ladies, take pride in yourself, pamper your hair and spend the time and maintenance it needs, long or short. It is a nice feeling when a man reaches over to caress your locks, and you know it feels good and looks good. But on the flip side - what is with the bald heads, shaving and crew cuts we see too often on men? I want to run my fingers through a nice head of hair - what is good for the gander is good for the goose! | |

Posted: 4/11/2007 8:13:52 AM | I've always been a "longer hair on a woman" kinda guy -- goes all the way back to my hippy years, I think. It's been my understanding that the larger portion of men think this way. But as I've aged, what I'm attracted to usually comes in a complete package -- and please, no flames. I didn't mean that nastily. What I mean is that long hair, short, medium ... what I find attractive is a matter of how well a hair style suits a person. Some women are gorgeous with long flowing hair down their back. Others don't wear that style well and instead exude their own cuteness in a pixie cut. I even like the wind-blown, fly-away look (whatever that's called (lol)). It's just a matter of what suits a person and, of course, whether some personal care has been taken in keeping it. And after having relatively long hair myself well into my adult life, I certainly appreciate the difficulty in keeping it and why many women choose to wear shorter hair styles. I lost my locks when I bought a bike -- just got sick of ripping out the knots after a day riding. Bike's long gone now, and so too is the long hair.

Posted: 4/11/2007 5:43:01 PM | | I am 57 and I have long hair. I have tried going shorter but it just doesn't look good on me. I just wash mine and away I go. I don't do anything special to it. It's easier to take care of when it's long than when it's short. Maybe on some people long hair doesn't look good but I like long hair on me. | |

I dont get that men who CAN grow beautiful heads of thick silky hair go and shave themselves to look like Kojak! Where as other guys go spend hundreds or thousands of dollars at nuhart hair club to get implants!
personally....I LOVE a man who has GUTS enough to wear his clean soft silken locks, long!  | |

Posted: 4/12/2007 6:38:59 AM | ^^^^ Men shave their heads because bald spots have begun to appear. And the success of the Kojak TV series showed them many years ago that there was (finally) a way to try to hide this fact. There are very few exceptions to this.

Posted: 4/12/2007 10:49:19 AM | | Women are blessed with the choice of either keeping their hair long or cutting it. A lot of men suffer from natural hair lose as they age. I have always thought that if women had to face being bald the way a lot of men do, they would be very unhappy about it. It is not that women are more vane, just that we are so used to enjoying the beauty of our hair and our multiple choices in how we wear it. | |

The one thing I've learned as a hairstylist is that no matter how much you try to convince somebody that their hair doesn't do anything for them, they are going to do what feels comfortable for them.
Wether it be long or short, and regardless of age, whatever makes you feel the most confident, is what you should be wearing. Hopefully you all have wonderful hairstylists that can give you some great ideas on making it look as beautiful as possible. Women over forty are looking more and more amazing as time goes on, why not do what makes you feel the best...  | |

Posted: 4/12/2007 7:39:40 PM | | oh and thanks Tee. I had it that way for over 15 years, and was getting tired of it. Now I am going a bit longer for a change. Colour and style will come in a couple of days. Whatever it will be, it has to pop! | |

Posted: 4/13/2007 4:39:06 AM | Long Hair always looks great on women.. First thing women do when they get married is cut their hair.. I knew I was in trouble when the ex finally started to grow her hair long...

Posted: 4/13/2007 4:32:05 PM | I'm 45....turning 46 in October and my hair is almost half way down my back..long and naturally red and curly (goes into ringlets). I love my hair..finally after years of hating the curl and sometimes the colour (yes redheads can hate their haircolour folks!!) and I will not cut my hair besides a small trim here or there to get rid of split ends. I love it...and I don't care what anyone else thinks. I can't wait till it gets just past my bum....any longer and I might trim it but so far...I'm a long haired lass.
Seems most folks remember me by my hair anyways!

Posted: 4/13/2007 5:35:21 PM | My hair is a little longer than shoulder length. I am trying to grow it longer! A womans hair is suppose to be the pride & joy on her body! My hair is high maintenance and I like it long. It keeps me warm in the winter and I can style it in so many ways! Each woman has their own preference for their hair. I do not think age has anything to do with the length or style. That is based on the woman herself. I wear my hair like the younger generation in color and styling. I spend alot on my hair!!
I love my hair and I want it to look good at all times!  | |
|
| Long hair on older women
Posted: 4/13/2007 7:36:38 PM | | Hmm...well I guess if my hair was high maintenance I would maybe reconsider...I never thought of it that way. I simply wash and condition my hair once a week and I just rinse it in the shower the rest of the time..and I go! I used to fight it to make it straight etc. now I just let it be natural. | |

Posted: 4/14/2007 7:17:34 AM | | I don't agree goalie, the women around here cut their hair short short when they leave their mates. However, I would probably say a woman would change their hair when that happens. If it was long, they cut it....if it was short, they grow it out. | |

Same for me, many years ago. No warning, came home from work about 2 months after marraige to find collar length hair that just that morning was waist length. Talk about bummed out.
Love the look of longhair on women of all ages | |

Posted: 4/14/2007 12:39:39 PM | I was in a store the other day and a little kid shouted, "Mommy! Look at that lady's hair, it's down to her butt. That's crazy!"
The kid didn't shout because I am a middle aged woman with long hair, but because he hadn't seen anyone with hair that long before.
There is a legion of middle aged and senior women with short, permed hair. Line them up against a wall and you can't distinguish them from the back.
I prefer to stand out and have kids yell about me. | |

Posted: 4/14/2007 1:00:42 PM | | I don't know if the majority of women over 40 look good with long hair or not or if there is an age that women should "give up the locks" to remain attractive and in style, but I do know that I keep my hair long at this stage of life simply because I like it long. I actually find it easier to manage. I wash it, condition it and if all else fails....put it up on my head or in a large barrette. I had very long hair when I was in my teens and 20's and by the time I reached my 30's I had fallen into that belief that the older a woman gets the shorter her hair should be. It wasn't until I passed that 50 year mark that I realized there should be no 'shoulds' about it, it is simply a matter of preference. At that point I began to let my hair grow again. I plan to keep letting it grow until I am ready for a change. | |
