One of Dave's responses reminded me of this -- why is it that older women often tell (pester) younger women to cut their hair short?I recall a few years back, I was in a salon for a trim and afterwards was getting it put up in a bun. I'm not sure why, but the stylist had a little bit of length that she didn't put in the bun and wondered aloud what she should do with it. There was an older woman in the next chair who was a bit chunky and had the standard short haircut for women her age who said with a bit of an evil smirk, "Cut it off!" and then laughed.And I'm finding now that with my short hair, older women just seem to love it and one acquaintance (a lady who is probably in her late 50s or early 60s) told me, "it was about time you cut your hair" as if it were an unavoidable conclusion.Hair seems to be a peculiar subject in that we don't often make comments about other aspects of our appearance, such as fingernails, weight, clothing, and so forth, yet hair seems to generate quite the diverse and vocal opinions!
