I want long hair?

Question

However, I have been told that it ages my looks terribly. I am 51 and I am not ready to be an old hag.

Answer 1

i want long hair too don't listen to anyone who says it makes u look older your not old unless u start walking slow and if u have fun like if u like to go shopping a lot then ur not old, old means someting or someone that can't do anything anymore, weak and needs help with stufff....
so don't say ur old look @ oprah she's 50 and doesn't look old
so go ahead grow ur hair just get the right shampos and conditionars and hari sprays , or u can go to a stylist and ask questions on how to keep ur hair lookin heathly

Answer 2

Some good tips for faster hair growth:

1. Carrot oil for your scalp. It's really good.

2. Wash AND condition daily. If your hair is too oily it can slow down the growth. That's why it's important to wash daily. However, you also need your oils, so the conditioner acts like a sort of substitute.

3. Limit the heat you apply to your hair. Curling irons, blow dryers, etc. can damage your hair, cause split ends, and potentially slow hair growth. Stay away from it as much as possible. When you do use it, put a good leave-in-conditioner AND oil or moisturizer (Biosilk is really good) before applying heat.

4. Stay away from perms, relaxers, highlights, color, etc. These all damage hair and slow growth.

5. Your diet plays a role!!! Too many sweets or fatty foods can actually stunt hair growth. Eat fruits and veggies (and whole grains, lean protein) for a full head of healthy hair.

Hope this helps

You are corect long hair generaly makes a person over thirty look older but that dows not mean you look like a hag. I live with a woman seventy and I think she looks quite good. No not my wife but we share the same house. She is a go and do gal and probably will still look good when she is ninety. Yes she has long black hair. Well it is really gray but the dye fixes that.

Answer 4

Then make it long hair with some coloring. It may be that the person who told you it ages you is just giving their opinion, that may not be an opinion shared by others. Adjusting the length of your hair is easy to control. If you try it and don't like it, then cut it again. Try it and find out for yourself. It may turn out to be a nice change and very attractive. There's no down side in trying though.

Answer 5

It only ages people if they don't have a great cut, and they don't take care of it. If you can make your hair look shiny, soft and smooth (so, basically...healthy)- it can work. But you really need to go to a great hairstylist and let her know your fear of it making you look older. She or he will work with you to create a perfect look for your age.
