It isn't a legal requirement, but hairdressers insist upon the overall length being no longer than 4 inches because it is easier to perm and the blue rinse takes better.

my hair is longer than four inches! does this mean I am not old?
Actually this is a very good question. Where we live , all the women have exactly the same hairstyle. It is quite an obsession of my husband's. He says it's like the Stepford Wives gone wrong.
We have discussed this phenomenon with our sons. They informed me that one day I would wake up with short hair. I would not have gone to have it cut, I would just wake up, and there it would be, short.

Youre wrong, you are obviously not noticing the older women with hair longer than 4 inches, I have seen plenty.

I work in pensions and I can tell you there is no hair requirement for pensions. Nor height, race, colour, etc requirements. Unfortunately there is an age requirement. Shame that or we could all put in for one!

Yes, I am sure it is.
It is also a requirement that they MUST wear floral dresses. Also, extra pension for ability to knit/ spit while eating/ facial hair/ thick glasses/ Urine smell/blue rinses/ repitition while telling stories/ those 2 wheeler trollies/ random laughter.
All of the above are entrance requirements for Bingo.

Due to lack of oestrogen, as women get older their hair thins. If most of them had long hair it would look like a wierd straggly tramp woman in most cases, with bits on some parts of their head but not fully covering the scalp.
Some don't get this, they are blessed.

That's not true, lots of older women have longer hair. Maybe the fact that having longer hair means they look far younger than their age, that you don't realise they are older women!

No..lol..that isn't why...but I understand where you are coming from. They keep their hair so short because they are tired of dealing with years of hairstyles and bad hair days. And when you get older you realize that hair is not all that there is to life. So why not cut it short, easily maintained and do something that matters like spending time with the grandkids or traveling with the hubby!.=)

nope, it's not a requirement for pension. hehehe
its either because they no longer have to wear their hair the way their man likes it and/or their lives are so full they want something far easier to tend to.

I think it is probably because longer hair kinda looks funny on old woman. It makes them look outdated. Short hairstyles look more "fixed" and plus they can get it done weekly. I prefer to see short hair on older women.
