Why do old ladies never have long hair?

Answer 1

Well, back in the day, older women kept their hair long; it is much less common now, mostly for upkeep purposes. Older women may not have the strength, the necessary range of motion, or other physical limitations to properly do longer hair for themselves. Therefore, it's easier for them to style it if they keep it shorter.

Some older ladies do, mostly because of religion, pentecost for example see long hair as their virtue. Other older ladies prefer shorter hair because it is easier to take care of, go to the beauty shop once a week and are good to go.

Answer 8

u can't say old ladies NEVER have long hair because it isn't true, depending on the culture you're looking at ... in Europe, older women usually have fairly long hair but they keep it up, unless they're mourning ( they leave it up then too; it depends on the culture) ... older women in Africa, though, tend to have short hair ... in the USA, older women usually have their hair fairly short because it's easier to manage and maintain in good condition (on average, older people have just enough money to get by with the necessities, so it's one way to save on shampoo ...jk ... it still matters though :-) )
it all depends on where u are and the customs/cultures involved
