I don't care what someone else considers proper for me,,, they are free to think what they choose.At 58, more and more of my choices have become all about me, me, me,,, what makes me happy.
My sentiments exactly!!! About hair, and anything else... | |

Posted: 10/5/2006 6:10:00 PM | | We all have our personal preferences, but I must admit seeing someone who previously had a bit unkempt look and then had an upscale cut and style, look simply marvelous :) It's difficult to change what we are comfortable with for sure. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 5:18:07 PM | I don't think that long hair is any more trouble. Mine isn't extremely long, but it's not much trouble at all.
I don't FEEL as attractive or as feminine with short hair.
I find that most men prefer it longer also.
I'm nearing 45, and I get compliments on my hair a lot.
I don't think there should be an age that anyone should get their hair cut.
The statement about older women not looking good with hair just hanging down the sides of their head, well, most people don't look good with it like that. It needs some kind of style. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 6:47:05 PM | Rule of thumb for long hair on older women: LOOK IN THE MIRROR!!
Common sense . . . . if ya look good with long hair - don't cut it! 
I've had short hair and I have long, long thick hair. For me, the short hair was more up keep and when in a hurry there's not much you can do with it except wear a baseball cap! hee hee
You can always put long hair up or in a pony tail and still look stylish.
I keep it long for me - all the men I come in contact with comment on how sexy long hair is on most women and that I should never ever cut it. Btw - I'm an "older" woman...... | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 6:54:49 PM | I prefer long hair, straight or curled,natural or colored, a beautiful mane adds to the feminine mystique. So a gent has to wait for a little primping and a bit of foo foo femininity. But what a difference it makes. Viva la difference between the sexes! Goody for your side & our side too!

Long hair is not an indication that a women is a fluff brain or high maintenance. | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 8:20:08 PM | | I agree with most of you. Just because we are older dosen't mean we have to conform to the opinions of others. I have people tell me all the time to cut my hair... They say long hair makes me look older. Come on... most of the time older people cut their hair... So tell me... how does having long hair make one look old? Doesn't make sense, does it? | |

Posted: 10/7/2006 8:36:26 PM | Personally, I never understood the long hair upkeep argument. I had very long hair about 15 years, and only washed and brushed it and blow drying was pointless, living in a humid climate, not to mention being for the "Disco Dannys". Yes it was the 70s, and I hated disco. Still do, but that is another topic.
With that out of the way, you should just find something you like and don't worry about
others. You will never please them all, and I never heard of hair length being a deal breaker. If it ever is, you dont need someone that shallow in your life.
I prefer just that womens hair be long enough to frame the face, and not be too short, but some women look ok in short hair. It just depends on the person. Pleasing the public at large is a dead end.
Besides, my experience is if a woman asked if I would like their hair longer, and I say yes, they act like I just called them ugly, and they think I mean it has to be down to their waist. If I say no, it looks fine, they think I am not being truthful. If ever asked again, I don't even want to answer. I'd rather move on to "do these pants make me look fat?" thing. I know how to answer that one, at least.
Just do what you think is best for you. That is what you will end up doing anyway, most likely. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 7:07:35 AM | | Personally, I think long hair is beautiful on any woman.... Young or older. I don't really know how it would feel to have short hair. It seems like mine has never been short. About ten months ago, mine was down to my ankles and then I had it cut to my butt, then to the waist, and now its to the middle of my back. To me this is short, but after having it almost to my ankles for 21 years.... you can only imagine..... I don't think I could handle my hair too much shorter..... I would kind of feel naked.... | |

Guess what - most of us a happy with who we are. | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 1:07:36 PM | | I think it's not so much the length of hair as it is the determination to wear youthful fashions that makes "older women" look even older, or like they're trying to prove something! | |

| agree entirely
Posted: 10/8/2006 2:02:37 PM | long hair on women is fabulous. lets face it. look at sophia loren. WOW. forget styles. they mean nothing. thats why they change every five seconds. attraction lasts forever no matter what the age. ask most men and you already know the answer. even the top hairstylist are men. ever wonder why?? cause men know what looks well on women.
if however its a question of laziness, masquarading as style, then forget it. dont even bother. if you want ot look like a man, then fine. no man wants to go out with another man. understand now??? would you all want long hair if di had it. damn sure you would. get a grip and forget the hard ass forgotten how to be feminine attitude. it pukes. power to then long haired and more dates too. me fein. | |

I just had two inches cut, It is colored. Long hair looks great if it is virgin hair but come on at our ages, has to be shorter. (i quess the odd person will have virgin hair, grey ok)
but coloring kills it
so u have to keep maintained and neat.
I change my color a bit, had to cut off the brassiness. From streaks to blonde.
It will always GROW | |

Posted: 10/8/2006 3:11:08 PM | | I always had short hair. After my daughter was born I just let it grow. Its a lot easier than short hair. And if it looks like crap you stick it in a ponytail. One drawback, long hair really ages a person, drags them down. | |
