why do You want long hair so bad?

Lemme just show you what I'm trying to say...cause a lot of people are just...completely not getting me.

^ This is lady.  Lady look good with long hair.

About 50 years later...lady cut hair long time ago...but then--doon doon doon...Lady lets hair grow.

Lady look like "AAAAH!" even though the peac*ck thing on her head adds to the "AAAAH!"...any other "long style" woulda been just as..."AAH!"

A few years later...Lady cuts hair...

 

Horrid facial expression...nonetheless lady is pushing 70-something...Personally, I think she looks younger ^.

I'm talking about cases like these...We're all gonna get like ^ one day...unless we die...And some people get like that faster than others. When you get like that...that you are obviously "older"...and you just can't hide it anymore...long hair look...eesh.

I can't see the evil after shot.

Regardless, I'll see your lady and raise you a Sharon Stone.  Granted, Sharon isn't the greatest example because she uses extensions and rarely takes a bad photo, but here is a 2004 Before and a 2005 after.  She just looks younger with the softer, longer hair.

Before:

After:

Sharon actually looks pretty good in both...But that is one of the only times I've seen her look passable with long hair.

We're just gonna have to agree to disagree.

Omg...-tear-...You called my favorite actress wrinkly!! -cries-

Okay...fine she is wrinkly...but she looks a LOOT better on TV!!! xP

And she's awesome... Hokay had to get that out! xP

Yeah of course.  I understand...and it's like I said you feel comfortable with long hair...and that's just how people are different.  Me...I'm just one of those people who has to look a certain way all the time to be comfortable...you know?  Like...I-gotta-get-my-heels-just-to-go-get-the-mail-type person.  LOL...And I know as young as I am right now...I definitely wouldn't feel comfortable with short hair either...but I also love short hair...and I'm experimental...So it's exciting for me to think one day I'll get some short haircut, and look the way...I "want" to look when I get older.

It sounds plastic...but I'm not plastic...trust me! LOL...Like I don't spend hours doing my hair, and I don't wear too much make-up...and always whine about being fat, or whatever....I'm just a certain way...just like you are a certain way.

After reading the (second half) of this discussion, I must add my opinion.
I agree with both parties, so I'm not trying to start trouble, I just think this
is a very interesting debate. I am 22 but I feel stongly about the
preconceived notion that older women must wear a short style. IBD, it
seems as though you feel long hair is something that represents
youthfulness and sexiness, and anyone who is "old" and wearing long hair
is only doing so to feel/look younger. This may be true for some,
however it cannot be a generalization. As DBF said, she wears long
hair *because she likes it*, not because she wants to appear youthful. I
think a neatly placed bun or a single long braid are more sophisticated
than those typical short-old-lady perms. In other words, there is a way to
wear long hair as an older person without looking "young". There are also
other elements to consider, like how does the person dresses, act, even
down to the way they style their long hair... I mean, if I see an older lady
with twin braids, I must admit that's kind of dumb looking because it's a
hairsyle that belongs on a little girl. (even being a young women and
wearing that style makes you look like a little girl, which is the point
sometimes, guys are totally into that!) If I see a women who is well over
50 wearing a chic layered hairstyle, a baby tee and bellbottoms, yeah I
think she is probably trying to look young. Yet, I've met several women
who have long hair, look their age, and look beautiful.

IBD, I think as you start to age your thoughts on this subject may change.....anyway, good discussion!

Carded for what? Or is that a stupid question?

Who is that woman?

Im sorry but I just cant believe that you guys have been carded when you dont even look young from the back! Im with the duck! Not to be mean or anything but you guys look like you have mops on your head. I think that long hair does make people look older sometimes.  Long hair is nice but not when it just sits there.

Thats nice.
