Anyone with Long Hair

I am a newbie here.  I will be 51 this October and have nearly waist length hair.  I have some silver coming in at my temples and have recently decided to let it grow and see just how long it will get.  It's been just over two years since my last hair cut. For the life of me I can't understand this mindset that so many people seem to have about a "woman of a certain age" having long hair.  If you like it, take care of it and it is healthy then let it grow!  It has to be well maintaned tho.  Get it trimmed when the ends are split and use some conditioner. 

Hahahah yeah that was a fun topic to post lol. Do u like yours played with? lol. I cant wait to see pics of ur hair :)

Definately I cant wait to see a picture. Im glad scrunching went well and imsooo glad u have a great styling schedule :) what hairstyle sight are u talking about?

Thanks I do think I can do those by myself. I mean at first I will need someone to do them but ill get the hang of it and by the end ill prob be able to do all of them but the braids by myself :) That is unless someone wants to. I can understand where it would pull if it was too tight :( That oil sounds nice I will have to try it. How did the srunching go? how do u usually where ur hair?

I honestly think u should go natural :) Ilove love the idea of long gray hair. I think it looks beautiful and more women should try it out :) Idef think yours will look beautiful :) As for my styles I want to try half up and half down, high ponytail,low ponytail, french braid, rope braid, messy bun, tightbun, down, curled, straigthened, pigtails? Whatdo u think?

Awww thanks for all your support :) I did not cut my hair since January and it is just now close to collar length even tho it sort of resembles a mullett in the back so ill have to trim it up. Its gettng there and i love the shagginess and i feel like ireally do have long hair now :) I heard some girls say that they get jealous of guys having nicer hair and eyelashes and that before but im sure urs looks great. I really hope I can get it to lower back it would be sooo great :) I want to do soo many styles with it. Do u want to hear what the styles are?

Awww  thanks for the good luck words. I am sooo glad u like long hair on guys. I  love the feel of it and think more guys should try it out actually. I love the styles u listed and i def want to try alot of them  if not all of them  esp the ponytails,  braids,and jaw clip. I def think u should grow it longer. It would look great I know it :) Ill share with u my goal. I started with a buzz and now its shaggy about collar length. My goal is to go to shoulder length then mid back. Then after that I want to go to lower  back to  im thinking. What do u think  about me growing it that long? Thanks.

Hi Kitty Kat that is great and Im sure u look great with bra strap great hair. There is soo much to do with long hair and ur never to old to grow it long.  Go for mid back length or longer even lower back or waist :) What are ur favorite styles to use?

I just wanted to say I love your responses here, I am a younger guy growing my hair out long and I love how women arent giving in to pressure anymore and cutting there hair as they get a little older. I have to say I love the look of a woman in her 40s or 50s still sporting the long locks with some of those gray strands. It looks great :) Keep it up! Whats everyones goal lengths?

I'm a 50 something with past waist length hair. I love it and have no intention of changing it. I don't care who thinks it's "suits" me or not. I like it. I don't see any need to cut it due to my age.
