i notice there is alot more short haircuts than long ones,why is that.
Hair below the bottom of head has a tendency to emphasise the vertical. Hence in an older woman (even someone in her 40s), whose face isn’t as pert and elastic as it used to be, long hair makes the saggy parts of the face appear worse, seemingly dragging them downwards. Believe me, I used to have long hair, but after seeing a photo of myself at about age 39, I decided it was time to get a shorter style. Result: a much fresher look.
I think the old adage that older women MUST have short hair is no longer.
WE can have longer hair, maybe some gentle layers giving us the opportunity to wear it up or down. My mom and many of other moms just bought into that SHORT hair for anyone over 45! LOL Seriously…get a great stylist and compliment “your look”
Like everything else, we must follow our hearts, not necessarily the trend. Trends come and go so fast.
In my day, women did not wear long hair after age 35. They were onto something with that thought. Anyone can wear their hair any way they choose. However, it kinda like the saying that “just because it comes in your size, does not mean you should wear it”. Same with hair.
I agree with Rusti! I’ve been wearing long hair lately. I saw someone else with long hair and I thought she looked haggard. Well, I thought if she looks like that than I don’t look so great either!
