Do you believe that age should have something to do with how you wear your hair and/or its length?

Question

Usually as women age, they go for a shorter, easier to manage hairstyle, especially when they have children. Everyone I've known growing up either had short hair in their 30's or cut their locks for a very short and manageable 'do.

My mother in law became a mother at 18. I realize she regrets not having a completed childhood and she still wishes she was a teenager. She dates several times a week and spends hours in the bathroom getting ready while her eldest watches the two younger children. She is very into herself and spends too much time on her hair for someone reaching 40! Her hair is more than half way down her back, it's scraggly, thinning and she likes to over do the hair spray on her straight locks.

Am I just stereotyping older women, or is it normal to cut your hair shorter as you age? Does it make you look more mature?

Thanks!

Answer 1

hair length is personal preference! while some older women like theyre hair short u also get some who like it long! its really up2 the individual!  

Answer 2

It's normal for some women  who don't want to spend a lot of time on their hair.  That's what my mom did when she turned 40, she cut her long hair to shoulder length (she doesn't spend a lot of time on it because her hair is straight). And it does make you look more mature, depending on what short cut you go for.
