62 here. I started going grey in my 30's now I am white. I bobbed it chin-length a year ago. Hated it. Never looked older. Now it's long and layered and I love it. Don't buy into the crap of women of a certain age need to look a certain way. It's bullshit. Go your own damn way and don't let ageism mess with your head.

He didn't say anything like that. He is saying that if the texture of our hair changed or thinned out at the bottom going a little shorter will help it to look better. He didn't say you're too old to have long hair. If you still have full thickness of your hair and the texture hasn't changed then he is not suggesting to cut it off.

Agree!! I have very fine hair and needed a bob while I was in my 30s, and 40s. Now, that I’m older, there is nothing that looks more aged then a bob, bangs, and glasses. Now, I’ve grown out my bangs, letting my natural silver highlight come in and aged a bit more length and soft waves. Way better than the bob that was making me look just frumpy. I’ve see some older grey hair women with medium-long hair look amazing. The lady I’m thinking of has thick, healthy hair, and she also has a pretty face. She is rocking that look in her elder years. The silver hair is so healthy and pretty. My Mom also had fine hair and she looks great in the bob in her 70s. The shining grey hair with her blue eyes was lovely in comparison to the brassy hair of her 40s, and 50s. So, it really is individual!!

Thanks for sharing! I'm about 59 3/4. My hair is right at the bottom of my bottom; and if I live to be 80, it will likely still be about that long. My long hair gets complements every day. It makes people smile; so, maybe, this is just one way that I help to increase the joy on this planet, little by little, one smile at a time.

I'm 71 and had kept my hair short for 20+ years. During Covid it grew passed my shoulders and i liked the new look. Have been growing it ever since, only needs a trim. Far more versatile, i can wear it down, curl it, or many up-dos, even hair bands, clips etc, great to accessorise. Will be keeping it long for the foreseeable future, no matter if someone appears to say it should be short. When i look at other ladies of a certain age with short hair I cant help but think their hairstyles all look similar.

I’m with you! I had VERY short hair and even shaved my head twice since I was 19. I’m 64 and during Covid, I decided I was done cutting and dying my hair. It is now down to my waist and still dishwater blocks with flecks of gray. I love it! My adult daughters said “don’t grow your hair out, it will look bad”. Now that it’s grown out, they say “don’t ever cut your hair short again, it will look bad”. 😂

I'm 52 and have gorgeous, thick, wavy long hair (nearly waist length). It is one of my best features. I will cut it if and when *I* choose, and I suspect that will be never. Screw the Overculture's expectations for what women (and men) are "supposed" to look like.

My hair has become considerably more thin in very recent years, particularly after having COVID, but I still continue to wear it long, having the ends trimmed regularly. Several of my age related friends have had their hair cut short and I think it ages them a bit. They have been trying to talk me into joining in on the short hair conversion and I continue to stand firmly on keeping my long locks! 😁

Nothing age more a mature woman then short hair. It's lazy and not attractive. Short hair can be experienced when much younger but as a lady age she should find an elegant long hair style and stick with it, it's timeless! You can take supplements for your hair too, Vit D, Zinc/Cooper 15:1, HA 200mg, ceramide capsules, Tocotrienol...DHT is also a problem pst meno, Saw palmetto can help with that as well. Rebalancing hormones with progesterone cream as well will help. Everyones different but as we age it's best to try suppl and experience what works for yu. Blood tests are good too but won't give you accuracy like saliva test. People can gain back their hair as it was post illness as well as post meno.

For most of my adult life, I had short hair and it was much more work (and product) than I ever have to deal with having long hair. I have seen many older women who have really awesome short hairstyles. I have even met women who had little to no hair and were absolutely stunning! It’s not all about the bow on the package as it is the presentation and presence of the package it adorns. Many women can pull off the most flattering short or minimal hairstyles.

Menopause forced me to cut my hair short. My hair was thinning too much to support the weight of itself anymore, but I wore it at various lengths before I went super short. I have no regrets because I got to try out different lengths and experience the pros and cons to each one. If you can keep it long, go for it, but don't be afraid to experiment to find it what works best for you!

62 here too. Been through hell & back with multiple traumas the past three years. Well, 10 years, really. For the FIRST time in my adult life I’m letting my hair grow long. I lost a lot of it with sickness & emotional traumas, so I’m reminded to relax, to breathe, to take life day by day, to put my mental, spiritual & physical health a TOP priority. It’s getting thicker & healthier. My hair is white, with random brown mixed in which I love. When neglected, it can be chalky in texture, so it needs LOTS of love & care to be soft and shiny. It’s a metaphor - priorities - me first because I’m worthy of love and care. When I’m not loving my hair, that’s when it needs the most attention. When I’m not feeling love, that’s when I need to love myself. My hair has become the canary in the coal mine of my life. I nurture it, and love it. Growing my hair out as long as it will go, and loving the journey. ❤

B.S. I am 72. My greying hair is butt length.I am retired and have all the time in the world to braid it, work it into buns, and invent new hairstyles, and I love it. I can cut the ends myself and have not been to the hairdresser in over ten years.

It's YOUR hair. It does not belong to anyone else. Keep it however you like it and don't let someone take it from you if that's not what you, yourself want to do. I had short hair for a time as a kid. I got more complements on my short hair than I ever did on my long hair, but I never felt worse about my appearance than when I was receiving all those complements on my short hair. I thought I was ugly no matter what anyone said. I didn't even want to look at myself above the shoulder in the mirror. I am so glad I had the courage to say no more hair cuts and let it grow.

A week ago I finally cut it off and now I have the short, kinda purposefully shaggy hair cut that I wanted for a long time. It took off so much weight from my head and neck! (I can't afford a hair dresser so I did it by myself; might be a bit crooked on the back of my head, but who cares)

Nope, over 50 and don't care what people think anymore. Losing my job after the lockdown meant I went a while without having my 6 weekly highlights & my hair's condition improved so much I decided to see how long it would grow. A regular trim of the dry ends and plenty of argan oil & my hair is lovely thanks very much!

Former aesthetician and hair stylist. I keep my hair and skin healthy . I wear my hair mid length and get it trimmed as needed. Society has been trying to boss woman around for far too long. Long hair can be put up in to great styles or worn long. Once you cut your hair off that’s what you have left. I look many years younger than I am because I wear my hair My Way.

I love my long hair but have worn it short at times throughout my life. But approaching 70 I am growing it as long as it will grow, and I love it. I am tall and broad shouldered and I feel the length balances and flatters me. And its less time at the hair stylist, so I save money. I also stopped coloring it years ago. The grey is actually coming in blonde. Now I have the color I used to pay for! Everyone should do what they feel looks best on them.

I'm 64. My hair is past the middle of my back and I still use ground and sifted henna (100% plant, nothing else) to color it. I've been using henna for 4 decades. I frequently have strangers compliment my hair. One young woman walked up to me recently and said to me "your hair is fire!". To be honest the ends need an inch or so trim and long layers could perhaps offer the illusion of a little more volume, but short? No way, no how.

Strangers and friends come up to me all the time and tell me how beautiful my long white hair looks. Surprising me they will often start playing with it. I do trim it once or twice a year. I cut it to me shoulders and let it grow down my back. I never put products on my hair except cocnut shampoo which makes my hair look more blond. I air dry it and the waves or sometimes curls happen. I have been stopped on the street for years.

They make their money selling haircuts, and women who have short hair get more haircuts. I am in my mid 60’s, my hair is elbow length and I have my husband trim my hair for me, every couple months to keep my ends neat. I wear different braids that he does for me, so I don’t want layers that will leave my ends looking straggly. I have not been to a salon in over 20 years, and I did have a few years where I had my hair cut short, usually by my sister, but looking back at old photos, I can see how I did not look good with short hair, so I’m not going to make that same mistake again.

I actually did the opposite. I spent my youth with extremely short hair, now in my forties, I’m growing it all the way out and I love it. So I will not be cutting my hair anytime soon because it’s the vibe for me right now until I feel like evolving in a different direction.

Congratulations! It took me ten years to grow my hair out and many struggles against the temptation to simply chop it off due to temporary dissatisfaction. I have what I call "terrorist hair" high porosity, kinky with a random curl pattern so short hair means a random (lack of) hairstyle that varies with humidity. Oil, lots of oil is my friend; my hair sucks it up & behaves for awhile. Long hair can be braided, bunned & twisted. ENJOY!

I am 66 and love my long hair after having short hair until my late thirties. As longing as hair is well maintained by the hairdresser there is no need to cut your hair short at all. Everyone has told me I should have grown my hair long decades ago. If you want it short, wear a feminine bun like I do. Delia Morris

I am young, and I admire women over the age of 50 who wear their hair the way they wish to wear it. I admire those that look beautiful because they actually have some wrinkles on their faces and are not afraid of aging, they dress the way they wish to not the way someone has dictated to them.

I'm 46 and have spent the last few years with my hair about to my bra strap. Recently I grabbed a handheld mirror so I could see it from the back and I was appalled. It looked fine from every angle (I styled it in big waves) except from the full back view where you could see how lank and stringy it was. I texted my hair lady that second and was in the shop the next day. We went with a messy, slightly stacked lob just skimming my shoulders and it is SO flattering. My natural curls came back to life, there's volume and movement and my 21 year old said it took 10 years off. Everything you said applied to me 100%.

I've recently turned 61 and love my long hair. I look at old photos of myself in my 20's and 30's when i had shorter hair and it actually made me look older.

Thank you for these tips

Great video, thanks for the tips😊

I am one of the viewers that actually listened for more than 5 seconds and I will definitely say 100% NO. I am 48 right now but that age is approaching and no way will I ever cut my long hair. Have had long hair since I was a little girl and have loved it every step of the way. My personnel insight...if you have long, healthy hair and love it, age is only a number and you should 100% keep it if you love it. I know I will. I do not understand the dogma that the older you get, the shorter your hair should be. I guess they want you to leave this world the way you came into it. Short hair... I do agree with some of the comments below that cutting off your hair does tend to make you look even older BUT some women look better with short hair than they do with long hair. You should do what makes you feel best about yourself wether long or short hair..who cares..there are no rules here (except the ones that society tries to put on you.) I have seen some little old ladies with long hair and they would mostly keep it in a bun..but they were so cute! I loved seeing that youthfulness about them and they embraced it! So thanks for the video but NO THANK YOU! I will leave this planet with my long, beautiful hair. Thank you.

Yes it totally depends on the person. Some never looked good with long and vice versa. I think the big deal for me is not just keeping it one way because that's how I always wore it. I do see ladies and men running around with hairstyles that they had in high school and now they're in their 50s and it just doesn't look great. Then again, some of the styles probably didn't look good at the time, either, they were just in style. I used to have very very long hair but I also had very short hair at times. I like to change it up. Why not, right? I think keeping a very specific style from one era could age someone quite a bit. That could be long or short. Frankly, I laugh when I hear oh you can't wear this or you're too old for that. You know what that does for someone like me? Makes me run out and buy that mini skirt I'm supposedly too old to wear.

I don’t think ANYONE has the right to dictate to anyone else. I have never liked my hair short and I never will. I don’t care what any hair dresser or “expert” thinks! Ladies, do what YOU want! (Sorry, but this stuff really triggers me). I’m over 60, by the way.

Well I have long hair at 64 and love it ! I think that the main thing to do to look young is first the joyful mood, then to take care of the skin because you can have short hair and have too many wrinkles even at 40/45 and then you look old and even older than my age...And you have to please yourself wearing long hair if you like and not to follow fashion or what people tell you to be or do ❤❤❤

Wear your hair whatever way you like best, despite what stylists say. It's NOT their hair! I am 63 and don't give a damn about people thinking that I'm getting old because it's true. I HAVE begun to get old. Embrace aging; the alternative is being dead. Old is not a dirty word.

I have long grey white hair and get stopped by so many people who love it - never had this much attention with my young short dark hair. I’m now a photographers muse and the photos are the best I’ve ever had taken. This guy has his opinion and I agree layering does really help!

I'll be 68 next month, and I will never have my hair shortened or cut short! My hair is platinum silver, and I've been told my hair (and silvers) are beautiful! My hair is layered, and my volume is nice. I'm happy. I have to say, I don't use hairspray...it feels tacky, and it means over hair washing = dryness. Nope, I won't do it. I only use blow-dry brush, no irons! And a great scalp massage with rosemary oil, etc, is great for growth and prevents damage. Great tips... except the short thing😅. ❤

I’m going silver, just at the front, and I asked my daughter to colour it to match the rest of my hair, and both of my daughters were horrified and said ‘no way! It looks beautiful’. I don’t think it looks beautiful lol, but I’ve always been naturally dark blonde, and now I have platinum streaks in the front. If my girls like it, then I guess I’ll learn to like it too.

I'm almost 45. I used to have short frizzy, dry looking hair. I also used to get eyelash extensions because my lashes were basically non existent. I also work from home so I don't have to style my hair ever. About 2 years ago, I started taking Ionic Zinc in the drops and whole vitamin C, not just ascorbic acid, and my hair took off growing and so did my eye lashes. Now my hair is touching my bum and my lashes are longer than ever! My hair is so long and soft and shiny and healthy! I get so many compliments and love it. I wear it in a bun when I sleep cause it sucks rolling over and pin your head down unintentionally. I wash my hair about 3 times a week and have always only put shampoo on my scalp and conditioner on my ends. I suppose I'll consider cutting my hair if it becomes too heavy and I can't hold my head up any longer. lolol

I've never had, nor wanted, a hairstyle that was in style. I wore long braids as a kid. OK, as a teen I wanted to look like Cher - with the long straight hair that was so popular in the 1960s! But I have fluffy, wavy hair, that does not do that naturally, until it is long. I got over wanting to look like someone else, and loved my long fluffy/wavy hair until I had my daughter at 40, and she liked to hook her hands into my hair (of course!) I cut it "short" (for me) - just past the shoulders, and layered, and loved the fullness and curls! I just wash and let air dry, no fussing. Now that I am older, I realize I like a layered, sort of shag (but a bit wilder) haircut, that shows off my hair, but I can still clip the back and sides up off my neck to be out of the way. With a little bit of softness around my face, so shorter there - but not like a mullet my goodness no! (The pic here has the back clipped up, it's only this short in the front.) I will always wear my hair in a way that is comfortable, never needs fussing, just a good cut and naturally dried, and I like. It is also still thick, never gets split ends, and looks as good naturally platinum as when I used red henna for 12 years, and when I let it have its natural sparkles from 23 to 52! While I was henna'ing, it got much whiter, and lost any drabness I might have had earlier. Natural henna was a good choice for me for that period!

My tip is to protect hair by braiding them and also sleep in silk turban. My hair are fine, like a child's hair, and soft, the length is to my waist. I also noticed leave in conditioner is doing good to my hair. I am not over 50, just mid 40's and i plan on growing my hair even longer. The thing with hairsressers is they love to cut hair (so i avoid them :D)

I don’t know what color your hair is but some herbs like cassia obovata in a hair pack ( mixed with water or whatever )will strengthen your hair. It binds to the hair and make it thicker and shinier. It wears off of course. If you’re platinum or gray it can leave it pale yellowish hair if your hair is darker then that then it wouldn’t change it. Just another tip.

I am 62, White and to my knees............I get a lot of compliments. Every time I am in the stores, I get people stopping and asking me so many questions about how I keep it looking so good. It is curly, but not as curly as when I was a kid. No heat used on my hair....No shampoo either in over 25 years.......I only use a clear or white conditioner

I'm in my mid thirties and there's great info in here for younger people too. Very helpful and NOT offensive video. Thanks!

So, I'm 62 and - after stopping the damaging color processing - I have thick, wavy, shiny white hair. I keep it silvery with colored conditioner once a month. I find ideal a length with layers between chin and barely touching shoulder. I can put it up, if it's hot (FL) and down, if I want to look fancy. I blow dry it straight, but the bottom layers always curl up a bit, which gives it movement 😊

I had super long hair ever since I was a little kid, it was always past my butt and everywhere I went people complimented on how pretty and healthy it looked. I cut it into a bob my senior year of high school, and shaved the sides in college lol. I spent my 20s experimenting with short styles and colors (mostly bleached blond). In my 30s when Covid hit and we were locked down I decided to grow it out again and be natural. 36 now with waist length pin straight hair my natural dark brown color, and I love it so much. I don’t ever see me cutting it short again. I kind of aspire to be my town’s fun old feral witchy hippie lady with knee length wiry gray hair when I “grow up” 😂.

64. Hair longer than I grew it in high school and it is GLORIOUS in silver.

I was not blessed to be "pretty" but I've always had thick, lustrous hair - the best condition when I worked in - of all places - a tuna canning factory. The moist air/tuna oil combo se all marinated in during our shift meant I had gorgeous shiny hair at the end of the day when I took off my headscarf (albeit it stunk like tuna). I'm also Native American, and our hair is important to us culturally.

I looove this post! I cut my hair pretty short after my entire life of a head full of bouncing curls. After my land lady didn't put salt in the water softener unbeknownst to me as a temporary resident of Wisconsin that never needed that as part of my household water. Talk about fried hair! 🔥 But I could also see that my hair was changing and it was time to curate a new curl pattern so that my curls would be big and bouncy instead of tight and bouncy, which showed the thinning ends. I've had sooo many compliments after taking several inches off my hair. I'm in the process of growing it back in the new pattern to frame my face and pull my check bones up visually like the short hair has done. I just came across your channel and as a Marketer who talks Midlife, I am super grateful to have found you! Big love! 💙 Oh! And btw, Castor oil is amazing at conditioning the hair.

Never know, you might change your mind after you get used to it. Maybe you need different styling products now to make it look it's best. But growing it back is fine, I think, at any age. It's always good to try something different. I learned I could go online and try on hairstyles with an uploaded photo. Did the same with my glasses. It kinda gave me an idea of what I would look like with different colors and styles. Could try some hair pieces and wigs and stuff too, which is easier with shorter hair. Not everyone has the time and money to fuss over all that, though. Not to mention, you donated your hair so that's a good deed. Even if you hate it now, it's a little sacrifice for whoever got your beautiful hair and it will grow back.

They come in every color. Human hair wigs have every drawback with no advantage. You can't even get companies to assemble them. Complete foolishness designed to get women to cut their hair and look unattractive.

Ive always worn my hair long, admittedly mostly up. Today I had it cut to brush my shoulders. Im 66 and definitely this cut has given my face a bit of a lift...I'm very glad I finally did it. This video was timely, thank you!

I'm 76. I love my waist length silver hair which I tie up with ribbons and flowers. Makes me look and feel younger even.

I am 65 years old and have hair past my waist and I get complements all the time because I keep it trimmed and it is naturally blonde. I enjoyed your tips at the end on how to keep long hair healthy and they are something I was always done. I also, loosely braid my hair at night to keep it from getting tangled and give it some soft waves.

When I was 15-25, short hair made me feel sophisticated, that is, older. But now, short hair makes me look and feel younger. Different styles of short hair, not the old lady short. I did enjoy layered long hair, but only to the shoulders for some of the time. But that's me. I think we should be allowed to style ourselves in the ways we see and feel best.

I absolutely love long, gray hair on ladies. They look awesomely hippie and give an artsy vibe.

When you are older and go to a hairdresser, they always want to give you the old lady bubble do from 1968. I keep my hair a bit past shoulder length because I like to wear it up in like a messy bun and my bangs for height and pushed to the side. I think it looks pretty good. I do all my own hair now including the color which is N7 medium blonde.

I have a good friend in her late 50's that has hair to die for -- healthy, thick, lots of it, and falls to her waist. The problem is that it takes the focus away from her other attributes. All you can see is hair and not her pretty eyes, good skin, nice smile. It also boxes her body in. On the few times she's had it cut to her shoulder blades, the transformation is Wow! Her hair moves, her face lifts and lights, you can actually see a body, and I've noticed that attraction to her goes up. She's been mentioning for a while now that she'd like to meet someone, so I do plan to have a chat about the hair. She deserves to be happy and we're at a new year -- new beginnings.

I have always looked younger with long hair and my husband loves it long. A few years ago, I went to have it trimmed.I told the stylist TWICE: "Just half an inch." She was in a bad mood that day and hacked off 6 inches. Thats it...For the last 8 or 9 years, I have cut and colored my own hair with much success. I absolutely hate the vibe of salons; they give me anxiety!

Hi Justin- I am 51 and I have waist length hair that has natural curl. I color and bleach highlight as well. For me the longer my hair is the easier it is to style. It takes about 10 minutes for me to dry and style. I only blow dry at the nape of my neck and the roots at the sides underneath the canopy. I never dry or curl the canopy of my hair except a few curls around my face...which is layered around my face to give it some flip. I think women over 50 CAN have waist long hair...they just need to work with their texture and find a style that works for them. Great video and your tips are really good too.

Wow, you got the heat you anticipated, Justin! So many people are protective of their long hair identity. Relax, everyone. We all have different comfort levels, textures and styling challenges. If you love your long hair that’s great. It’s who you are. But I will say most women with long hair look better with layers and movement. I can’t wear my hair longer than collar bone length. Too long and it just drags my face down. I have a lot of fine hair that is wavy. A good layered or textured cut enhances the volume in a controllable way. Then again, I love change and my hair stylist always says she looks forward to seeing what idea I want to explore next. To me, it’s an artistic expression. Just like fashion.

I opted for the pixie cut my mom always insisted on when I was growing up. She was right. It suits my face. Maybe not yours. Keeping my hair short and layered makes it appear to have more volume and no one has thought I was undergoing chemo like they did when I was in my 30s. Truth is I never should’ve worn my hair long. It was too thin. Now my natural waves are curls and it’s perfect for Me.

@@penelope5500As women our identity is strongly tied to our hair. Then there’s society saying bcs you’re a certain age you should wear your hair a particular way, really? Back in the day, as women most allowed society and media to tell us how we should look, what to wear, how to act, etc etc etc. We have evolved past that, but mostly our identity is tied to our hair. Believe it or not, men too, even though they don’t talk about it or disclose it to others. When men start losing their hair, it’s distressing Many will do whatever they can to combat their hair loss.

I am 68. Only twice in my life dud i have short hair both times in my 20s. My hair is at the moment past my shoulders by my shoulder blades. You can do so much with long hair. Reading the comments im so glad there are so many if us who doesnt buy into what we should look like.

All my life I wanted hair so long I could sit on it. Followed all the advice ever given, even taking biotin daily. Cutting my hair fairly long hair regularly, as instructed, literally kept me from having super long hair. It just wouldn't grow past a certain length. Nothing to do with my age, this was even when I was 10. You say it's suppose to keep growing if you cut off the split ends. It just doesn't. The pandemic and not having a haircut for 3 years has actually given me the long hair I wanted. Is it thin at the end? Yes. But this was always the case when trying to grow my hair out past my shoulder blades. Do I often just wear a ponytail? Yes. But after not being able to follow a hairdresser's advice to get longer hair, I finally got my long hair. My face is too fat for short hair to work for me. Even as a teen, short hair isn't a good look for me.

I do not agree! I see even 90 year old woman’s with long hair - down to their waist! They mostly have it put in a braid or make other artistic styles and it’s absolutely beautiful 😍❤️ I am 61 and are growing my hair long again after cutting it up to my shoulders (it was down to my waist before and I also use to put my hair up or braid it!) I will never ever cut it short again…. That’s a promise to myself…. I loved my long hair ❤️

To each their own. If it looks good and you feel good, go for long hair. Not sure I understand why putting it in a braid makes sense. Just looks like short hair in the end.

To each his own, but I can honestly say seeing women with that long hair makes them look dated, just my opinion everybody has to do what makes them happy

Well said! 💯

My hair is down past my shoulderblades and my mother told me I was too old to wear my hair that length when I was 29. Now I’m 46 and I’ve kept the length. So glad I have.

I am so happy I cut my hair into a modern sporty kind of shag mullet and I feel so much younger and it takes 1/4 of the time to style. It matches my style and I should of done it years ago. Thank you for your great tips!

I am 67 years old. I think this is a well needed video. You’re just being honest. Thank you ❤😊

almost 60 and have gotten more compliments then ever before on my long and grey white hair.. Strangers stop my at the store, on the street, to tell me they love the look, ask if I color it because it looks so good.. 😁😉

I’m almost 75yrs old and for the past three years I’ve been growing my hair and loving it. After having a gastric sleeve resulting in rapid weight loss my hair started falling out so hairdresser suggested I shave it off which I did down to a number 2. I wore this for a few months until people thought I had cancer so started to let it grow just the tiniest bit and wore it spiked. This was not very flattering and I also had to actually wash it every morning to get it wet enough to style again as it was impossible to get it to sit down unless it was saturated, blow dried and styled. Then just before Covid I decided I was going to let it grow to whatever length I wanted regardless of what my other short haired friends said. I now have hair past my shoulders and surprisingly I’ve had many friends say it makes me look younger, softer and really suits me. I love that I only have to wash it once or maybe twice a week, can do it in different styles or if I’m in a hurry to get out the door I can put it up in a loose bun. I’d say to everyone don’t let society dictate what length your hair should be for your age. Do what suits you and wear it with pride and confidence.😊

Thankyou man, for telling us again what we should look like 👍🏻

I have 4C hair below the middle of my back when flatironed. When worn completely natural it is right at shoulder. When blow dried just somewhere between the 2 lengths. I love the freedom and versatility of my long hair. I'm keeping it.

I keep my hair long, all one length. I keep the ends cut because of the thinning and split ends. I've had many hairstyles over the years. This is the one that looks best on me with my face shape., my attributes on my face, and my hair. My hair is naturally shiny, straight. The one length gives my hair movement. And substance. It hides the neck, the softening jawline, and other age related.issues. I get complimented on my hair fairly frequently. It's also easy to take care of. I am almost 70. Recently, a man I know told me that I. have the hair that other women want. So I think I'm doing something right. It's all. in what looks good on you.. But a lot of those short styles don't. really make a woman look younger because they expose the double chin, the soft and sagging jawline, wrinkles, and the neck. Some actresses in my age group with long hair include Barbra Streisand, Jane Seymour, Diane Keaton. Layers make my hair look thinner., not fuller.

So true everything you said....I definitely agree I believe it ages women. Just the opposite of what he's trying to explain.

Right? Could you imagine Jane Seymour without her signature long locks?

Thanks for the man Splaine~ as I run my fingers through my extensions at the age of 62😝

I knew a woman who had long blonde hair and as soon as she turned 40, she cut it into a very short hairstyle. I couldn't believe she did that to herself! She made herself look about 15 years older and every single wrinkle or line in her face look pronounced whereas they weren't noticeable before. I think long hair makes a woman look more feminine and glamorous so if you have healthy thick hair that looks good, keep it long no matter how old you get. There are no rules that say you have to cut your hair when you turn 40 or 50. That's nonsense. It's your choice.

After reading many of the comments it is awesome to read that so many women are sporting long hair and have no intentions of cutting it. I didn’t even watch the video because I adamantly disagree with the title My great grandma was nearly 90 with hip length hair. My own hair is in the middle of my back, I am 68. And i have no plans of cutting my hair at all for any reason until “I” decide I want to for my own reasons. I even have most of my color in my hair still….. natural color. But the gray I do have I love it. So ladies and even men grow your hair the way YOU want wear what you want and be you ! ! ! ❤

Personally I would love to wear my hair short. However, I’m darned lazy and can’t be bothered getting it trimmed every five to six weeks. I can’t be bothered doing my hair everyday cause I don’t have enough time in the day. Also, my face is round and short hair makes it look like a hot air balloon. So I keep it long and simply tie it up and not bother ‘doing’ my hair each day. So far this year I’ve had two haircuts and not likely to get another until March next year. Because of the layers, I can wear it out when I choose and it looks great. I want simplicity rather than fuss.

Exactly!

63 years old with 80% grey hair, here. I love having long hair (about bra strap length). I almost always fix it in an updo. I can change the shape with my hands. I believe short hair is MUCH more work!!! 😊

As someone who has had short and long hair, short hair is as much work as long hair, if not more because in my case, my scalp is on the greasier side, so the shorter it is, the more frequently I have to wash it, and you need so much product to style short hair.

@@user-is7xs1mr9y Exactly, and I always seemed to have pieces going the wrong way, lumps, a need for a trim, etc., etc.!

I'm 58, and my hair is still red and down to my butt. I love it and get compliments all the time. I understand what you are saying, hormonal changes can thin hair out, especially for men, but women get tired of hearing that they need to look a certain way.

Thank you, you actually explain things well here. People just need to take time to listen that you are not saying cut your hair shorter..... really, just cut to have the look YOU want.
