| Long hair on older women
Posted: 2/25/2007 5:46:30 AM | While I like long hair on a woman, there are certainly some who look better with shorter hair. At this point in life, I wouldn't expect anyone to fit their appearance to my tastes rather than their own. I think one of the hardest lessons to learn, is to let people be who they are, and not who we want, or imagine them to be. We all, I think, have our fantasy image of what we find attractive and are drawn to those who approximate it, but I do believe that if we really love someone truely, they grow more beautiful to us as the bond strenghtens.
So I'd have to say, ladies, wear your hair, and everything else about your appearance in a way that makes you feel good. | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 8:37:46 AM | The "rule" is there because it DOES make sense. Do you ever watch those makeover shows on TV, such as "What Not To Wear" ? They take frumpy, unfashionable, older women and really transform them, and often it is a good haircut that makes a huge difference. Color helps, too. Long hair ages most women 40+ unless you look like a supermodel. There a feww exceptions, such as Jane Seymour, but here is a news flash: you are not Jane Seymour and most women aren't.
I guarantee you that if you had the courage to get a good haircut, it would take years off your age and you would get a LOT of compliments. At a certain point, really long hair makes an older woman look like she should be riding a broom.
Just My Opinion | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 8:46:22 AM | | Me, too ! I see so many older women clinging to the hairstyle that may have looked good on them in their youth, but no longer does them any favors. ALL women look better and younger and prettier with a good haircut. To me the worst is long, straggly, unstyled hair with split ends, roots growing out, no shape at all, or unflattering grey hair that is too long. Grey hair can be gorgeous, but it has to have some shape, or it works if the woman has a braid or a bun that looks nice. I myself have fine hair that never stays in a bun or arrangement of any kind, so I have to keep mine shoulder length or shorter. I choose to color it, but some day I will try going with the grey to see whether it is attractive. Some women's skin tone and coloring do not look good with grey hair. The other huge mistake is women going too dark with hair color as they age. NEVER do the dead black or one-tone color. | |

This is just another way of asking "Does this dress make me look fat or do these shoes make my butt look big?" - right?
Aitch eee double toothpicks - it just doesn't matter
"Gimme a head with hair" and skip the rest of the song | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 8:51:43 AM | The "rule"??????? Whose rule would that be? Sorry, but at 58, with hair past my butt, I make my own rules. Regarding my personal appearance, as well as most other things in my life, I simply don't care what someone else thinks.
But, some night while I'm out for a broom ride with my black cats and pet bats,, I'll drop by and see if you want to grab your broom and come along....

There are always exceptions to "rules" and you may be one of them. Of course it is your business what you do with your hair or anything else. (I was saying "rule" in response to another post.)
I greatly admire women with grey hair who have the courage to flaunt it. Some of them look stunning. (Men with grey hair usually look good to me, too.)
Older Woman, Too | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 9:26:41 AM | 5-12 I was never under the impression you had singled me out with your remarks. Never the less, the remark about brooms and so on was over the top. Insults to validate your opinion are uncalled for, regardless of who you directed them toward.
Shy lets try for a ride when the moon is full,,,,

Posted: 2/25/2007 12:35:44 PM | Pleeezz! Stop the insanity!! I have met many older women that are of the mindset that once you get older you must chop your hair off because long hair is not becoming on an older woman- and have had many tell me that to my face. Only to those rude individuals, do I now make it a habit to respond, "Not everyone wants to go butch!" I know beautiful women with very short hair and admire them...I don't make it a habit to critique the ugly ones. I say, what ever you want to do with your hair is fine! BUt don't try to impose the "no white after labor day" laws upon me and I won't tell you to go mind your own business!!
As for the man, I always try to look pleasing to him and if I don't particularly want long hair or short at the moment, well we can usually compromise with a mid length cut!! | |

Posted: 2/25/2007 12:55:22 PM | I have below the shoulder "somewhat long hair" I love it because I can wear it up, and wear it down and long it all depends, on how you view it.
Oh and I happen to like long hair on men too. Or short hair or no hair. it's the package that comes with it that matters.

Posted: 2/25/2007 8:28:56 PM | | I'll be 51 next month. I wear my hair long and with bangs. When the gray starts showing I get out the hair coloring bottle. I have been told by many people that I look so much younger than what I am. | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 9:49:16 AM | Well, who said that you are the arbiter of this forum ? I thought people could express their opinions, but I guess that's only true if you agree with them. I made it clear in my post that it was just my opinion. I have seen an awful lot of dissing of men on some of these threads. That seems to be acceptable, but expressing opinions about women isn't ?
Of course it is no one's business what anyone does with their appearance. Whatever makes you feel good about yourself ! The issue of long vs. short hair on women brings up a lot of interesting nuances, such as male fantasies, female and male assumptions, cultural stereotypes, etc. It is a cliche that men prefer long hair on women, and of course there are exceptions. My point is that many people cling to styles that they liked and looked good in when they were young, out of inertia, or laziness, or perhaps denial about aging. I certainly do not advocate any "rules". I read recently that 80% of American women color their hair. I don't know what the percentage is for men. One of the things I like about being female is the freedom to radically change my appearance by having long hair, short hair, different colors, different styles when I get bored. | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 10:01:00 AM | I prefer longer hair on women and always have, but some wear it better short, so that is up to the individual and what attracts you to them and they you.....
I enjoy changing mine many times from very short to very long and all that inbetween length tooooo..... Right now I am letting mine grow some, just to see.
Takes all kinds and types to enjoy......
Just my opinion......   | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 5:47:25 PM | | I've had very short hair in my life. It was convenient, but men had no interest in me. I've grown it out and I feel much more feminine and attractive. There are also more male eyes paying attention. | |

Posted: 2/26/2007 8:44:14 PM | Oh My!!! It doesnt matter how old one is, if they like to have longer hair they can do so. Who are we to judge them , everyone have their own preference, as long as they know how to take good care of their hair everything is fine. I am old and I like my hair long , so I could do different style according to where I am going and what kind of dress I wear. We should not be too critical about others who wants their hair long. Some women have a gorgeous hair and I always adores them for taking care of their hair.
Most men also prefers their woman to have a long hair, am I right guys????   | |

Posted: 2/28/2007 1:33:54 AM | | I have to comment on this, long hair doesn't suit everyone but too short hair can also mask your femininity. I decided to grow my hair long once more before I got too old to have long hair, that was 10 years ago and I've decided to keep it for as long as it still looks healthy and beautiful. Short or long, hair needs to be clean, healthy and well styled. Luckily I have wash and go, naturally curly hair, I use good salon products and don't use curling irons, mousses or sprays.No one will ever see a grey hair on this head and I tell you, ladies, it is ever a man magnet! I don't like long hair on men at all, I actually find it hard to fnd a man with any hair. | |

Posted: 2/28/2007 8:34:59 AM | I am too old to worry if a man likes me for the length of my hair. And if a man wants to let his hair grow, doesn't bother me. bikerdad would still be a cutie even if he shaved his head.  No hair doesn't bother me. | |
