very good video.
my wife are about the same age, mid 40's. i support her to maintain her hair very long passing het knees. it's quite challenging as her career is really good and recently she has appointed as a director in her office.
imho, women are elegant with hair buns.
I have really long hair lol. I grew it to past my waist with curtain bangs!! age 62 Plus its easier. They say lots of stupid things right!!!
I’ve always had short hair and always assumed I would be an old woman with short hair. I’m now 64 with silver hair down to my waist! It’s never been this long ever. And I love it.
Thanks for sharing. I'm so glad you are loving it!
Waist length hair like Heathers is just right.
Turning 70 in two days and worn my hair long, once again, for the past five years and loving the versatility, it has just begun to turn silver and I'm pleased with that look. I noticed an aging woman becomes invisible and long hair has certainly reversed that.
Thanks so much for sharing Diana & rock that long, silver hair!!
@Diana, Happy Birthday on Sunday! 🎈🌹🎈🌹
That's also my grandsons birthday. 😊
My hair IS longer, and, I'm STILL invisible. :(
I just stumbled upon this video and I want to say THANK YOU! I’m finally growing out my hair after years of thinking that now that I’m older I need short hair… because that’s what “everyone” says. I’ve gone silver years ago but now I’m going LONG!
Yay, glad I inspired you!
At 67, I do as I please. My hair is waist long and a gorgeous white.
Sounds beautiful
I was never allowed to have long hair as a child. Now that i 73 I love my extra long hair. Thick and shiny
Yay! So glad your are finally able to wear your hair the way you want.
I have worn my hair long my entire life, but when I was growing up all of the older ladies wore their hair short and teased from the beauty shop! I remember telling my mom that I didn't want to grow up because I didn't want to cut my hair! LOL! Thanks for sharing, Heather!
Oh.. I remember that look. Was it called the beehive??
Thank you so much!!! So thrilled to find your video. I am 73 with long hair and for weeks saying I need to cut it shorter. Boy am i glad you gave me inspiration to do what I want. I know I would look much older with short hair and my full face. Bless you.
Be authentically YOU. It works everytime. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Heather!! You look beautiful with your long hair and I love your attitude with just because we're older, we can't wear our hair long. We can!!! Mine is long like yours and I love wearing it long. I enjoy your videos so much and us former models and older women can rock our long hair. You're so awesome Heather and never change my friend!!❤️
Aww Mari, you always have such nice things to say and I do feel like we have similar backgrounds and are virtual friends.
I cut my lovely long hair short at 52 now I am 58 and my hair is back past my shoulders again thanks be to god my hair is thinner but thick enough and I will never cut it again short of chemotherapy I found short hair needs more styling love elaine Lincolnshire uk
Thanks so much for sharing. You did make me think that short hair could need more attention
Thank You. I've never cared what people think of how I look. I'm over 75 & have "long" white hair.
Wear what you want, look like you want! Be Happy,be yourself!
Yes!!!
I so agree. Long hair as we’re older is a personal choice. Long hair suits me, I never want to cut it.
For me, I agree!!
You definitely look younger than your age! I sat down to eat a quick lunch and saw your new video! Love it! I, too love longer hair! Awesome job! Btw, when you put in the headband? Wow! Beautiful...my personal opinion. Enjoy your day!🤗
Awww, thanks for the kind comments and rock that longer hair Susan!
I never understood why my mom’s generation seemed to cut their hair once they got married. I love my long hair and I’ll love it when I’m 80 too. I’ll never cut it short, it makes me feel like a boy. Lol.
I know or when a woman has kids. I always had long hair through 2 marriages and my kids. Thanks for sharing your outlook Terri
I had a hairstylist do my hair. She kept saying it would make me look younger. I was only early 30 thirty’s. This one day she said it again and I said no. So she did a touch up relaxer . So she step away for sometime and when she return to rinse it out. My hair was coming out. She was like I don’t know what happen. Now she was in her 50’s with long hair so why didn’t she cut her. So it was her wish to get my hair shorter. So bless that my hair came back and I found someone who could get my hair back.
@@denisewilliams8707 longer hair makes women look younger. I don’t see how someone can see any differently.
I’ve grown my hair out almost to my waist now, as it was in high school. I’m 36. I’ve had two little girls ask me on separate occasions if my daughters (7 and 3) are my sisters.
@@lovingourage Enjoying your videos left a comment above forgot to mention let my natural grey come in several years ago now along with long hair same length as yours receive compliments all the time thanks again.
Depends on how You age. Older women shouldn't most of the time
Long hair is me too. Your beautiful face looks good with your hair up or down. A messy bun is always pretty on most people. Some look best with a high bun and some with a low bun. Or ponytail.
Gorgeous!! Your so called "round" face makes you so youthful!! You are stunning, simply stunning!!! I wash my hair 1x per week, and it is much healthier!!
Thanks so much for your kind comments and that your hair is healthier with less washings
I'm getting compliments on my new long hair look...to me it's feeling easier to keep.im not having to visit the hairdresser to keep a style up...I'm staying blonde. Im feeling younger and freer and I love the versatility as well....thank you to one Heather from another...ps I love animals..he is so cute..
More reasons to rock long hair! Thanks for your input Heather!
You know you make a really good point that I hadn't realized. Short hairstyles take more maintenance. When my shorter hairstyle gets out of maintenance it shows.
This video couldn't come at a better time. Since avoiding being out in public is the safest choice during this ongoing Covid-19 crisis, lots of women find themselves with much longer hair than usual right now. (Mine's grown three inches since March.) So, it's great to see here that what we 'need' to do turns out to be what we may also 'want' to do. Thanks! :)
Such a great way to look at things. Thanks so much for your input!
I have long hair and it used to be straight but now that I have let my grey grow out it is very wavy. My mother used to say “ don’t you think you are to old to wear your hair this long?” You are never to old . I was in my 20s when she said this to me.
Thanks for sharing
I am 71 now and I have had long hair for half of my life as well short hair. I started growing my hair again about three years ago and only trim it when it is needed. I take good care by not using heat products or harsh products. My brown hair is now 30% grey but I love it...I have always believed in being my own person and not conforming to what others are doing. I am seeing more older people growing their hair longer and ditching the dye and bleach. Hooray!
Thanks so much for sharing!
Love your videos. I’m almost 60 and have very long hair - been growing it for a long time. Every 5 weeks I have it coloured red at the hairdresser and even though it’s quite wavy to curly I love it straightened. I’ve never ever had so many compliments about my hair ever!!! Love my hair ❤️
Isn't it wonderful to be close to 60 and have people tell you how great your hair looks!! Thanks so much for sharing.
My wife is 55 and has hip length hair, she gets so many compliments and people can’t believe her age
I just turned 55 last week and I have long grey hair I say if u can grow it wear it long
A big ditto! Hey if you have very long golden highlighted hair like I do, in excellent silky soft shape, Im told constantly that my hair is unreal~ beautiful, plus~ that I look at least 10 years younger or more!! It's hard to cut it shorter with daily compliments!!! Here's kudos to your wife & I !!!!
Your hair is pretty, I'm trying to grow out my gray and I don't want to cut it short either! I say do what makes you happy:)
Absolutely Tina!
I am 71 & with a round face. We look very similar, except I color my hair honey blonde. I have minimal gray. Women, in this 55 + development have criticized my hair length & color for years. I respond that it is to balance my big head & my husband likes it long. As a retired RN, some days I feel like saying it’s really none of your business...I always complimentary of their appearance...
Truth be told it isn't their business at all! Grow your lovely locks the way you want to. You go girl!!!
Hi, I sent you a mesage on Your Discussion Board on your You Tube channel.
Thank you Heather! You always brighten my day and inspire me to enjoy the new chapter in my life with much to look forward to! 🥰
So glad to hear that Julia!
two years ago I had a cut and the stylist was too clip happy - I never had such short hair! What can you do - it's already cut - it was shorter than most men. Sure it was really easy to take care of but I didn't like it at all - so now my hair is half way down my back - and I just turned 67. I have very few grey hairs and what is grey just looks like blond highlights on my light brown hair.
Thanks for sharing. When I was 9 I had a haircut like Julie Andrews and cried. I never went back to short hair .
I am an older woman with long hair, too! It makes me feel feminine, my husband loves it this way, and I get constant compliments all the time. I dry it, I moderately touch it up with a straightener to rid the frizzies, put ever so slight hairspray and I'm good to go.
Thanks for sharing. My husband also loves my long locks and so do I!
I’m 67 and have embraced my silver hair and love wearing it long!! I find it is more versatile than when I had short hair. My hair is healthier than when I was coloring it & my silver/gray actually has more body than before. I also have a "hair scrunchie" to use for more volume and for special occasions.
I know, right?!! I love the many ways I can style my hair too!
I'm 66, and I have always had longer hair about the middle of my back. I have totally white hair and have since I was 50. I think I skipped grey. 😅 When I stopped coloring my hair, I knew I would never have the patience to let it grow out. So, I cut it really short. I can't even tell you how many people told me I looked old. I assured them I was growing it back out but going to leave it white. I get compliments on my hair all the time. Yet, in truth, wearing my hair long was who I was. The growing out process was a nightmare. Still, I made it back to being me, and no one believes I'm 66. I have one sister who still wears her hair long. Her hairdresser told her that people who are used to wearing their hair long probably always will. People who are used to it being short will probably always keep it short. I found that interesting. I've enjoyed your video. God bless 🙏 Jan
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I think hair length is such a personal choice and we should wear our hair the way we want no matter what our age
Do a video on women who refused to go gray . Just as we do not accept that short hair mandate I'm 68 and not gray on long hair journey...it's never too late ladies. I use olapkex.
I'm keeping my waist length hair for now. My sister keeps telling me to cut it, but i think that is because she has really thin hair. Sorry Tammy.😢
It would be so… cool to see you style a long braid or even add an extension . Show the audience how to wear didferent berets…. Would be so cool❤
About to let mine grow back out good video,love your natural curls❤
Thank you!!
You are stunning! Your long hair is beautiful!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! I have long hair and even tough it will be cut soon, takin away old colour in the ends, it's all grey now and I'm loving it! Have often my hair tied up to a messy bun and that hairpiece looks great because my hair is a bit thinner now than it used to be. Love every tip I can get how to look younger than my age. Truly, there's nothing wrong with that!
Great work, Heather! Hugs to you and your charming Yorkie! 🤗🐾❤
I'm so glad you are loving your grey hair! Thanks so much for sharing and have a great rest of your week!
I'm 61 and my hair is almost to my knees and I love it.
@ChristopherJames88261 I like my hair long, I don't really like long hair on men anymore, the 70's are sadly over
@ChristopherJames88261 ohio, how about you?
Sixty two my hair is shoulder length after wearing short pixi for years love my new longer hair 😍
Glad to hear that, thanks for sharing!
Loved this video Heather. My hair is naturally curly, probably more wavy now. I got a few inches of but its stilljust past shoulder length. Im 65 too and its going silver grey. Still deciding to dye it for justnow. Dont think I will be cutting it short. My hair looks like yours. Keep the ideas coming x
Whatever you do with your hair, do it because YOU love it and ignore the opinions of others, especially if you don't want to cut it short
You don’t look 65. You’re Beautiful. I’m 70 with hair to my waist! I have full bangs too. 😁 Thank you for the encouragement. I love what you said, “long hair... don’t care.” It just hangs there. I think my hair is pretty with no coloring. 😍
Thanks so much for sharing Yvonne!!
Omg Yea the bun really ages you makes you look like an old lady - the longer sassy style looks beautiful on your gorgeous face!
Agree!
What a wonderful name for pup , and great info
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank You! Finally, someone who agrees with me, that when you are 68 you don't have to have short hair. I have long hair with a nice blunt cut. My hairstylist is an advanced color specialist with Wela. When I first went to her, she recommend that I have auburn color. She mixes 4 colors to get my auburn color. It makes me look 10 years younger, and it's so much easier to blow dry. I've had short hair when I was younger, and everyone said it looked terrible. So many hairstylist think that when you are a senior, it should be short with a perm. The latest hairstyle for seniors now, is the 20's style bob. I use the Kerastase Chroma Absolu for color treated hair. I use all the Kerastase hair care products. Lucky to find such an amazing hairstylist in NYC at Shear Bliss. You don't have to look old just because. you are. I'm going to be 69 in a few months, but I don't look it.
What a great comment and I totally agree! Thanks so much for sharing!
I’m in my late 50’s, growing my hair out, letting my hair get longer and not coloring. I had been coloring myself for about 20 yrs. I usually kept it chin length, but I’ve never felt like it was me.
I have curly thick hair, I was strawberry blond when I was younger, but it turned a dirty funky red/blond in my 30’s.
I’m very happy with the color that’s growing out in, I’ve been growing it since February and I can really see it now.
I’ve fallen in love with hair bands to help with the transition. I also do a kind of French twist to get it up off my neck.
I might go and get a little trim, but I’m so glad I haven’t caved and cut it short.
Thanks for the inspiration and encouragement!
Yours is a great story of transitioning to what you want to try to do with your hair. Thanks for the details, I'm sure it's going to help other women as they transition to their natural , longer hair.
Thank you for sharing about long hair on older women. I am in my 70’s with about your length hair. My hair has some grey/ silver but is mostly my natural color when I was younger, lots of different colors, brown, auburn, gray,white, I have lots of natural colors in my hair, and it is very thick and heavy. I do have long layers too, but may have some more layers cut around my face? Currently, no bangs. Thanks for making me think!
You are so welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Long hair for me! Mine is down to my waist. Stramds of gray look like highlights. Loving it up in a messy bun.
Thanks for sharing!!
At 59 after a short pixie cut for my working years, I decided to grow my hair, so for 8 years I went from a number 4 clipper cut at the back of my head, to tailbone. About a month ago and with lockdowns, I cut my own hair back to bra strap length. I can wear it up fortunately and rarely wear it down because of the age myth.
Because of physical issues with my shoulders, I invested in a Dyson Air Wrap. Expensive, YES! But so worth it. Simply love it and would highly recommend it for ladies who can afford it. So while having long, thick hair, I can do a straight blowout in under ten minutes. Awesome.
I was wondering about the Dyson, thanks so much for sharing your hair story and your review of that product Lyn
I remember my grandmother saying my mom needed to cut her hair now that she was over 50. My mom didn't ever have short hair. She loved long hair and so did my dad, so mom kept hers long. I've also always had long hair, and will as long as I have anything to say about it. This was very encouraging and I'll look up your other videos as well.
Thanks so much for sharing. I will continue to have long hair and it's part of my authentic self.
I was that person who i thought older women should have shorter hair. I got perms all the time it was easier when i was working . Im 66 now and since covid the price for perms has sky high ive decide to let it grow. Ive forgotten how great long hair feels !!!😊
Yay! So glad to hear that Deb!
I'm 59 and white in front dark in back, letting it grow out, it's about as long as yours and I love it! I haven't loved my hair for a long time, I can't imagine ever cutting it short again. I get alot of complements that always surprise me. Haha..live your video, your beautiful!
Thanks for sharing!!
I LOVE gray and silver hair! I have always loved it. "The hoary head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness." Prov. 16:31
Thanks for sharing!
I’ve never met a man who didn’t prefer long hair on a woman ~ long hair is sexy, at Any age.
I agree, as long as we are also growing it long because WE love it too
The hair bans are pretty!
Late to the party, but I've had long hair for my entire adult life. I'm now in my 50s, and still have long hair. I don't agree that it's more 'time consuming'. I literally wash and condition, air dry, and just brush it every morning. Takes me seconds to get ready to go. Short hair requires more work as there is usually a style that goes with it. I'm too lazy for that.
People still shock me when they compliment my hair. Strangers. Sitting at a stop light in the summer. Windows rolled down. Person in car next to me compliments my 'beautiful hair'. They have no idea how very little effort I put into it. lol
Really enjoyed your input and I agree with you!
Love this. I finally got my hair gray and lengthy. I do embrace my gray hair. Need to get it styled but I will wait until all this coronavirus mess is over. You certainly encourage me at keeping it long. 😁
Thanks so much for sharing Sonia. Keep safe and well
What style did you go for?! :-D
You inspire me to embrace my age. I have been coloring my hair for 30 years. Uhg! I will be 60 in August and if I didn't color my hair i'd have hair that looks just like yours. I love your grey hair. So pretty... my hair is long too with some curl. I'm blessed with thick hair. But I'm sick of coloring my hair.
I hear you. It took me years to grow out my silver locks. Best thing I ever did. No more coloring, wasting money and the silver color lights up my face. You can do it!! There are lots of nice hairbands to hide the grow out too!
I don't consider it a waste if money it's only every six weeks.
You are my alter ego...Love my long hair I will be 77 next week
Happy Birthday Marilyn!! Thanks so much for sharing and about your lovely locks!!
Hej Heather! The glowey make up and the hair trim are doing you JISTICE! You do look YOUNGER than your years! YAY FOR YOU! Looking forward to whatever you have in store for us in the future... oh, and Hurricane, don’t worry... looking young runs in your family! You don’t look like you are nine at all! Have a great weekend and see you over on IG!💚
Wore my glowey makeup again today. I think it's passing the test. Have a great weekend Cary!
Just a couple beautiful thoughts... An ancient proverb says for women "gray hair is a crown of beauty..." Prov16:31 and "long hair was given as her glory..." 1Corinthians 11... Love these
Beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing this Dixie
Also heather, you have amazing skin.
Thank you i have wanted to grow my hair longer for the ladt 6 months going to do it thank you so much
You’re welcome 😊
Due to the pandemic, I haven’t cut my hair since November 2019 and I would not describe it as a ‘joy’ to have long hair. I have thin fine hair that has no body. Waiting for my salon to book an appointment with me ASAP!
Hope you can get in soon. i just got my hair trimmed since the salons here have been closed since November 2020.
@@lovingourage I just got it cut yesterday and feel so much better!!! 😊
Thank you for taking care of this issue 4 us loving my hair longer than shorter totally agree with you on this one! 👏
You're so welcome!
I agree! Long hair rules. It's less maintenance. I have had long hair since I was 19 years old. I plan on keeping it long for the rest of my life. You look great, BTW. Love Hurricane!! He is darling.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts on being a cheer-leader for long hair. I think I'll be wearing mine long for the rest of my life too!
Thank you Heather 😊 you look great.Helpful video.
So glad you enjoyed it Heather
Am 68. Grew my hair long and silver...am trying toppers,too, for the thin top.
Glad to hear you are doing this!
Have only just found your videos and I love them your advice is so genuine and real. I love your long hair. My hair has grown so much during lockdown and I LOVE the longer length. I wondered if you have any ideas of how to manage longer hair when out driving with the roof down. I've just treated myself to a convertible and am wondering how to manage my hair whist driving.
Hi Janie, I have a convertible too, I'm so happy you got one! I need to tie my hair in a ponytail and put a tight baseball cap on. Sunglasses also help keep the hair out of your eyes. Have a great time in the warm weather!
You look beautiful in with your long hair.
IAM 65 woman, me too like long hair, and I'm still have long hair.
Thanks for sharing Wanda
Have you tried a top messy bun? That might look really nice. You could also do a top messy bun and pull out side pieces/bangs
Thanks for the suggestion. I have dark undertones that I didn't want to accentuate but people think it's cool so I may try the top messy bun. Thanks!
Aweee love you’re little poochie x
Hello,
Thank you for all of your inspiring words for us. I think you look great with longer hair.
I'm actually afraid to grow out my pixie cut. The last time I had long hair was in my 20s. I'm 65 now, same as you. 😉 I have a long face and longer hair just doesn't look good on me. Many people have also told me that.
Thank you again for your great video! 💕🌹😊
I can see your pixie cut in your photo and it looks great! As long as we're wearing our hair the way WE want it that's what's important. Thanks so much for sharing your short-hair story Gayla
I'm 66, have had long hair since high school, probably will til the end.😄
A few years ago I finally discovered the benefits of sleeping on a silk pillowcase. It's not abrasive, it's antimicrobial, and keeps cooler than cotton or synthetic fibers. My hair is smooth and shiny every morning! Of course a good, pure shampoo and conditioner helps but the silk is the kicker.
I agree! I love my silk pillowcase. Thanks so much for sharing
I love my hair long
Me too!
Thank you so much! I am not that close to 50 yet, but almost every hair advice video I've ever watched for "my age category" leaves me rolling my eyes and discouraged at how superficial, and unattainable, it is. Thank you for promoting beauty and femininity as a result of being true to oneself and celebrating who God made you to be, not trying to fit a unique personality into a fad-shaped prison. I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!! 💙
Thanks for your lovely, thoughtful comment. You make so many good points that I believe in. I'm so glad to be here and thanks for your encouraging words on my videos Mildred
I think long hair looks great on you. I did a search on this topic because I have no intentions of cutting mine short as I age. I was unsure if women of a certain age did it due to an overall issue with their hair after 50. As I near that marker, I’m glad to know that isn’t the case.
I agree, wear what you love with your hair!
Your curly hair is absolutely gorgeous !!!
Thanks Joanne!
Long hair is easier to handle then short I think .. iv had both but love my hot pink hair ..
So glad you are loving your long hot pink hair. Being authentically YOU!!
LOL, I didn't know Matt Lauer is now doing hair. Your hairstylist is a dead-ringer for ML. I love your hair it looks fabulous!
LOL, I'll have to tell him that the next time I see him!!
IT WAS MY MOTHER!!! She ALWAYS said "women of a certain age should no longer wear long hair -- it makes them look older"! From the day I turned 30 [Yes THIRTY!!] my mother was nagging me to cut my hair short. She always wore her hair short. But I never understood that reasoning! Most of the women I knew who cut their hair short when they "got older"; the shorter hair made them LOOK older!!
I am 58 years old, and have not cut off my hair! Now, I did do an 8" donation this past fall, but technically my hair is still long. Not quite as long as yours, maybe a couple inches shorter, and this is the shortest my hair has been since I was 9 years old, and my mother had my hair cut in a shoulder length bob. (I cried, and cried! I didn't want my hair cut, and I didn't like it so short!! Thank goodness hair grows!!!)
So I say #lovinmylonghair!!
Wow Amy, your story is similar to mine when I was 9. My Mom gave me a dollar to go and get a hair cut and they cut it like a boy. I cried and cried. My Mom said I looked like Julie Andrews but it didn't help. Thanks so much for sharing your story, especially about your generous donation!
Hi Heather! I love you!! I watch often & my hair is similar to yours!
Thanks for your lovely comment Cynthia!
I’m 64 and I have always worn long hair ( to my ankles ) when I turned 40 my hair stylist daughter finally talked me into cutting 52 inches off , I did donate…. But I just didn’t feel like me!! Now im wearing my hair to my waist and still growing. I refuse to listen to anyone anymore… long hair is my identity…. So grow um and grow them long if you choose
Thanks for sharing Julie!
I love your long hair. I have long white hair, but it’s kinda thin on the ends and about mid shoulder blade length. Some people online say never grow it any longer, but I want to grow it to the middle of my back. I’m thinking once it’s to the middle of my back the thin ends would look better than they do at shoulder blade length. What’s your thought?
I say wear your hair the way YOU want to. Regular trims do help
I'm not far off 60 and my hair is butt length. Not cutting it any time never. Hate short hair.
Keep being authentically YOU!
Long hair certainly suits this lady
Im proud to have long hair at 63...you can see me in one if my shorts videos trying on a face cream. If anything thinking to go nsturally gray in the future
I was the youngest of my friends and when I turned 30. I was pressured to cut my hair because now I was too old to have it long.
That was in the fifties.
I have very thick hair and I love long hair.
Thanks for sharing and i'm so glad you are listening to yourself on this!
I'm 54 with solid medium length hair that is naturally salt and pepper. People ask me how I get my hair color because they love it...... lol. I want to grow it long again. I'm over the idea that older women have to cut their hair short. Very informative video. Thank you.
Be YOU no matter what others say. No one is going to make me cut my hair, it's authentically ME. You GROW girl!!
I can’t stand my hair long. With COVID 19 my hair was growing out. It is just too bushy. And my hair is thick, so it’s too hot, and I don’t look good in a pony tail. I have had my hair short for years. And I look better with it short. I had long naturally curly hair into my thirties. And it changed in texture. Off it went. And I’m happier with it. Both my daughters have long curly hair. My oldest daughter grow herself then cuts it off and donates to Locks of Love. Which I think is a wonderful thing to do. I believe that you should wear your hair however you want. And I prefer mine short.
I'm so glad you posted this. I agree... whether you want short or long hair it's up to YOU. I love the Locks of Love idea. That's a great thing your daughter is doing!
I’m newly 50 and think the same way. Length shouldn’t matter, regardless of age. I went really short a few years ago and had an angled bob. It was cute and it suited my face, but not being able to pull my hair back gave me so much anxiety!! I had to use a ton of pins just to keep it out of my face in the summer. It also had to be fully styled every day because the haircut was a one-trick pony that could be worn in only one style. Never again!!!
Thanks so much for sharing. Sometimes a styled hairstyle could mean more trips to the hair stylist! I also appreciate how you found it difficult to wear in the Summer. Good points.

People assume shorter hair is easier to handle. No way! As you said, there are so many more style options when your hair is longer. Also, longer hair with shorter layers, can be tough to deal with in the summer. I’m letting all of my layers grow out again so that I can do longer layers. I don’t care that I’m 50!
I have had many different cuts and styles over the years. Long is low maintenance and I trim it myself. I have literally saved thousands of dollars over the last 14 years. Short hair was high maintenance for me. I have straight hair and between salon cuts, styling products and curling iron.......ugh. Very time consuming for me.
Thanks for your input Ramona, short hair does have some high maintenance, thanks for sharing
Looking good ..
Thanks 👍
I love this!
I'm 53 and my hair is long and my husband loves it and I've being told I look younger
Same with me Marina!
I am a long hair person. I am 68 and my hair is down to my waist. Nobody can convince me to cut it. I don’t like me in short hair, never did. I think short hair on older women make them look older, but to each his own.
Thanks for sharing Alma!
Love you hair, mine is long and lots of little curly hair. I’m always loosing hair everywhere. But I try to make it look shiny.😊

Thanks so much for sharing and welcome!!!
Long hair can look great at any age. The secret is to get great regular cuts (even if just ends-trims) and keep it healthy. Mine was waist-length most of my life, but I do keep it shoulder-length now that I’m 60, mostly because it’s more fragile, and all that wet-combing after shampooing for longer hair pulls out too much.
That's a good point Kimberly, thanks for sharing
I love your hair Heather ! It’s gorgeous ! I am growing out my hair to a shoulder length bob with no bangs ( I have had bangs for 30 years ) ! It’s at a really awkward stage but I’m not going to give in and get them re-cut again ! Thanks for sharing all your tips !
Thanks for sharing. I say that I have long bangs but perhaps it's just a layer. I wouldn't want the maintenance of short bangs again.
Awesome over 50 that’s what I’m tired of, haircuts every 4 weeks !
I’m 55 and have a different take on long hair which I do have but it makes me look way younger and when you’re petite, that’s not the look you are going for. I get treated like a little girl and I feel very insecure. Personally, I don’t think women should have longer hair after 50 unless she is tall and can carry it off. Petite women don’t have the height and it just makes us look younger and more girlish. I feel after a certain age women should be more age appropriate and go for the chop. This is just my opinion based on my own experiences that I have struggled with for most of my life. I am not a little girl so don’t want to look like one. I do know of course that it’s not just about hair and clothes, it’s how you carry yourself too. It’s a little hard to have confidence when you’re only 5 foot. It’s short hair for me.
My grandmother had her hair short and dyed it an ugly flat black until my grandpa died. Then she let it go gray. I guess she was afraid he would think she was too old if she let it gray while he was alive.
That could be true!
Beautiful lady. Love your hair and you look much younger than your age.
Thank you so much
