Long Hair on an Older Woman

And who ever came up with that description was way out in left field. We only have to look at actors like Demi Moore and Nicole Kidman to see that long locks can be worn at any age and women over 30 can look beautiful with tresses down to their as.
But how hard is it to chop off your locks when hair extensions are so readily available these days? One day it's short, next day longer, until you say, "Gee, has it been that long since she got her hair cut?"
As we all know, long hair takes a long time to grow out. Statistics say that our hair, if healthy, grows 1/2 inch per month, so about 6 inches a year. That can seem like a long time when you make the commitment to shorten your hair after 30. But more and more women are needing more time to get kids to school and themselves to work, so it is either cut the hair or wear it up everyday, and that just isn't an option as most with long hair will tell you, it's not that easy to wear a ponytail with everything!
Also, It is such a stereotype that older women with short hair are stuck up, intimidating/intelligent (that I agree with), and reserved. It is said that older women with short hair are very serious about life and able to take what comes their way. Maybe that is why older women are so confident when they make the commitment to cut their hair.

I would have to say that more and more women over 30 are cutting their hair to stay stylish. The more hectic our world becomes the less time we have to primp or style our hair. So hand over the pomade and heat up the blow dryer, I have ten minutes to get to work!
