Long hair over 35 - still acceptable?

I was wondering what people think...is it a bit dodgy to keep long hair when you are, as it were, knocking on a bit?

I've recently decided that no it isn't, depending on how you do it. My plan is to wear it loose and scruffy until my face gets too old, then tie it up at the back until I am a granny.

I know there are others among us - shall we have a roll call? I'm interested to know how you feel about having long hair at our age, and how you style it.

Also are there any famous role models anyone can think of - I can't, offhand - most seem to lop it off!

the person in the photo looks absolutely wonderful imho! I am about to be 50 and have waist length uncoloured hair, and people tell me it looks good. Even if it doesn't, who cares? there is too much body fascism in this society, and women are constantly harangued by the media about appearance and, well, everything.
Do what you want, whatever makes you feel good,and enjoy it.
