I'm 33, getting married next May and have had my hair cut short a couple years ago. I've always had it at least shounder length, if not longer. Now, I am trying to grow it a little longer because I'd like to have some sort of up-do for my wedding.

I think it depends on the persons face and their texture of hair. Some older women can pull off longer hair. (I consider long hair past the shoulders) Most can't. When you hit around 40 you start getting the wrinkles and the face droops a little. The long hair just drags it down even more. Long hair usually makes older women look older. I'm a hairstylist, and sometimes a haircut is an instant face lift. It really can take years off. If your 33 enjoy the long hair a little longer, then go for a layered chin length bob if your not into really short hair. Congrats, and good luck with the wedding!

Age has nothing to do with hair length!! This whole "women older than ---- *insert age here* should cut their hair short" thing is a load of nonsense! If you like your hair long, then you should grow it long. And not just for your wedding. Grow and enjoy it because it is beautiful and feminine and fun. Don't let "them" tell you you are too old. I know many older women with long, beautiful hair. Some a perfect silver. They would never, never consider cutting it!
I am fourty one. I have long hair. It is getting longer all the time. I have absolutely no intention of cutting it. Now or ever.

Age has not one thing to do with you hair style. What you want to think about, is that as your skin becomes more lose and loses it's elasticiy, the more you want to create the illusion of an up lifting effect. This can be done with short or longer hair. Just remember to keep it in a style that works with you face and frame shape. If you do keep it longer, it WILL have to be kept neat, clean and styled. See a stylist that will try your hair ( as is) in styles that works for YOU. Again, age hasn't a thing to do with it. You can look 30 at the age of 50 and on the other hand you can look 50 at the age on 30. Just try lots of ways before you cut it all off. Good luck.

I love long hair on women of any age. You don't have to have short hair when you get older. Just don't do any really trendy things with it-- that's when people will start saying you should "act your age". But if you have long hair, and wear it down or in a ponytail, it will look fine. And for your wedding? Fancy updo!
Don't feel like you need to cut your hair. Older women can have long hair, and it's more graceful than anything else...

I think you should do your hair the way you like. I think long hair looks great on anyone, at any age. If you decide to grow it longer, then just layer it, and it will still be long with more choices to work from than just a long flat style. I am sure that any way choose will look great for your wedding. Congrats and good luck!!!

33 is not the age people are talking about when they talk about long hair on older women. They are talking more like 50. But go with what looks best on you.

I don't like short hair. Mine has been waist length for 15 years or so. Tomarrow it's getting cut and I'm scared as hell! Keep the length and add some shape...I only hope the hairdresser can understand that! Keep it long...the guys love it!

There is nothing wrong w/ long hair at any age, its all in how you maintain it, there should not be an issue w/ it at least being shoulder length. Nevertheless, if you cut it and ever decide you want length, wigs and weaves are always an option.

I would never intentionally make my hair short ever again. Therefore it will be long even when i get older. There is no right age just a type of personality and look is all.

I am 30 years old and have my hair way below my shoulders. I'm not concerned what others do or don't think about it...it's my hair, my head.
FYI, my husband's grandmother (who only died a couple years ago) had hair all the way down to her waist up til the day she died at age 98. :)
