Long Hair or Short Hair

I've had very long hair for as long as I can remember. I hope what you say is not true. Because I will be 40 in just over 2 years. I don't think I will be cutting my hair. And I don't think my boyfriend would be too happy if I did. I don't have the face for short hair. I think short hair looks great on some women, and men certainly don't seem to have a problem with women who have short hair, even if they say they prefer long hair, it doesn't stop them from getting with someone who has short hair.

for my father was a problem to bring me in the barber's shop, i liked to have long hair but my hair were fuzz hair and when became long i look like a bush. Now i don't like to have long hair i prefer short with same gel to fix it

I've heard that women over 40 look older with long hair. Personally I like long hair but my husband tells me I look better in short hair, so I have it short.

ive been short hair since i was 16 years old.for me it is much more easy and convinient as i would say having this short hair.

I know but I dont care anymore its my hair and I like it better long for me its easier to take care of. Think about what does age have to do with having your hair short? I guess they want us to look like them old. Don worry about what people say if you want your hair long grow it.

I wouldn't play into that belief. I say go with what you like. I like long hair, so I would say grow it long. I've always kept mine shoulder length, but when I got pregnant, it grew like crazy, so I just kept it long. I keep my bangs short, but the rest is 3/4 down my back.

lol ... this is an incrimating question ...lol I am also over 40 and I have worn my hair long for the most part of my life . Right before Christmas I had all mine cut off too ...I just got tired of dipping my pony tail into my paint pot ...I am a painter by trade ... I have seen most older woman do wear their hair shorter ...so I always have thought that as we grow older we will wear our hair shorter ...in many cases I think women that are older with short hair look better as the gray looks a bit drab in longer hair to me ... my hair is blond ...getting darker as I get older ...and I am wondering if I will soon be getting gray hair too ...lol I think if I do then I will wear my hair short because of the gray ...thtas my personal choice... I don't think that there is a set rule that all woman over 40 or so should have short hair ..in my opiion it justd looks better for some...I think I am just going to keep mine a shorter length... so whichever you feel makes you feel the prettiest and happy is how you should wear your hair and don't even consider what others think about it ...:)

my hair use to be long past my neck.but now my hair is cut short and I like it that way easy to maintain.and I don't have to do a lot with it like when I had long hair.and it makes me stay cool in the summer time when it's real hot outside

When I was 20 I had long wavy hair down to my shoulders. Now my hair looks just about like my Avatar's I am pretty much bald and shave what hair is left pretty short. At the time when I was 20 and my hair was long and wavy I didn't realize it was "wavy goodbye!"

I think that shorter hair makes a person look younger. So maybe when you reach 40 (you know the old over ther hill- I of course don't believe that).. you should wear your hair shorter to look younger. I know a couple people with long hair and they do look old- Alot of it has to do with the style of your hair also. You can have long stylish hair-- Not just hair that hangs there.
I used to wear my hair long but I have gone to shoulder legnth- I love how much easier it is to do in the mornings-- and how much younger I look. I'm 34
