Do you think long hair should only be for younger women?

Question

I am 35 and have long hair with layers, if I didn't color my hair I would have alot of grey. I look young for my age and my hair color looks natural, but do most people think that after a certain age long hair looks silly. Or does it matter.

Thanks everyone for all the great answers.

Just to set things straight, I don't think I am old, just curious what other people thought about long hair and the age thing. Thanks.

Answer 1

35 is young,and long hair looks nice.It's the way
you take care of it.at your age long hair can be
a lovely thing. If you want to ad some shade or tint
to blend with your natural color would be nice.
We don't listen to what young people think.
It's your hair so in joy showing it off,and it will make
you smile more.

Answer 2

35 your still young yet but some women (not all) can look very old and dated after 40 with long hair. A good cut and colour as you get older can make you look much younger in years i think maybe a classic bob for instance. Combined with smart classic clothes and the right makeup 40s 50s 60s you can still look fabulous. Why not ask your hairdressers opinion about your long hair next time you have it trimmed.

Answer 3

I think you should do whatever you like. I think that the main reason women cut their hair shorter as they get older is a matter of convenience. When you become a mother, sometimes shorter hair is just easier to manage. A mom with three kids can't be messing with her hair all the time. Also, with age comes grays. In some women, gray hairs are kind of wiry and don't grow as fast as the other hairs. Keeping the hair shorter helps manage those wiry grays.

35 isn't old. If you can pull it off, keep looking younger!

Answer 4

I think as long as your hair looks healthy it doesn't matter. The reason older people tend to look bad with long hair is because it's more difficult to grow healthy locks at an older age. However, at 35 you should not have any problems - though it will obviously require a bit more attention with the grey.

Keep it colored and regularly trimmed and you should look great foreva!

Good Luck!

Answer 5

maximum have long yet right here long hair is warm so some ladies cut back it off. i in my opinion desire older lady could cut back their hair shorter in a cool type or chic bob however, as they age. they only appear as if they're attempting to reclaim their young little ones whilst they have very long hair. From the lower back they seem youthful yet their face seems previous. in my opinion, short hair fits me greater useful. I had long hair and it appeared gruesome and did no longer journey my face shape. It makes me seem youthful too. i'm 30 and individuals think of i'm 20.

Answer 6

I'm 44 and I have long hair with layers also...I don't know about the grey part...lol lol
I don't think long hair should be for younger people...really, I don't care....
If it makes you uncomfortable to have the long hair...then it's your decision to get rid of it...it all depends on how it makes YOU feel...don't worry about what others think...
You're 35 and you deserve to do what is best for YOU, and the heck with everybody else...

Answer 7

I agree I am thinking of the same thing I think once you hit 50 you may look funny with long hair but not at the age of 35 I think women look there best between 25 - 40

Answer 8

I think that if you are happy with it then who cares...Let me give you some advice: Our hair frames our face and the way it is cut and done should highlight the best features of our face. A woman with a round face should wear her hair in such a way that it lessens the width of her face and should go for hairstyles that add length. In contrast, hairstyles that add length should be avoided by women with long faces, and these women should go for hairdos that add width to the face. But if you want to wear your hair long, wear it with layers around your face. Also, have the length at the back cut to a round shape, or a V-shape. Long hair cut straight and without any shape can make a woman look either too old or too juvenile, but long hair that is done with layers and with the ends shaped at the back can make you look sophisticated and sexy.

Answer 9

Are you kidding? Long hair with layers is elegant. Keep your natural hair colour. Who said you're old? You're still a kid. Ninety-five is OLD.

Many older women look very elegant with longer hair. Wear your hair in whatever length and style YOU like except for rat-nest back-combed, which looks AWFUL, and wear your style proudly.
Older women CAN be so beautiful if they are smart enough to take care of themselves, control their weight, dress normally, do NOT wear garish red lipstick, and act normally instead of trying to act like you're a silly 16 again.

Answer 10

No, my hair is long and in layers too and I colour it; I'm 56 and people often complement me about my hair. I think if you are comfortable with your hair the way it is that's all that matters and I don't think it looks silly.
