I think women over 45 with real long hair look silly

Happy Holidays to one and all, and especially to you, Greenchili.

I think it's fine for an older woman to have long hair as long as she takes care of it. My paternal grandmother is 74 years old and her hair has always been long. She usually wears a ponytail. It looks nice on her.

So many women are wearing their hair longer these days. It must be a big boon for the extension industry. As most women age their hair gets thinner and if it is allowed to grow too long, it gets very stringy looking. Not everyone looks good this way. I am thinking of women probably after the late 50's though. One's that have not had cosmetic surgery and don't wear extensions and don't have stylists following them around all day fluffing and fixing stray hairs.

That said, I sort of don't like those really short styles that older women get, either. It is true that as you age, hormones change and the features appear more mannish. Really short hair just emphasizes this, but then a lot of women that age think that such conversations are just trivial and not worth the remaining time that they have left on the planet.

My mom and my great aunt both have long hair (my great aunt has long white hair). It looks fine. My mom had never had long hair until about ten years ago.
