er..no, im 33 and i frequently put my hair in a ponytail.

hester · 18/04/2006 20:55

No, so long as it's not a high one. A sophisticated tail sitting on the back of your neck is fine, but on no account attempt to look like a perky cheerleader...

busybusybee · 18/04/2006 20:55

Im 31 and about to have mine removed!!!!!!!!!!

Mercy · 18/04/2006 20:56

Hope not, I'm 42 and still sometimes wear a ponytail.

I am 36 and still wear my hair up.

I had to wear pigtails the other day on DD's insistance.
Not a good look when you are past 40.
32 fine IMO.

I know a bloke who had SILVER hair and a ponytail until he was mid 50s.

Hester - i dont think i could EVER attempt to look like a perky cheerleader!!! Grin

I have naturally curly hair and am growing out a very short style. Atm i can just about scrape it into a knob style - gonna grow it long again but will inevitably wear it up most of the time. Just wondering if, at my ripe age, its considered wrong!!!

I am 33 & wear my hair up a lot - infact every day for work (work in a school!) & have never felt I was too old. I do wear it up in a clip a lot too.

Bozza · 18/04/2006 21:00

No. I am 33 and I frequently wear a pony tail. Have lots of friends who do as well.

hulababy · 18/04/2006 21:00

I am 33 and I reguarly, especially for work, wear my hair in a low ponytail.

supakids · 18/04/2006 21:01

OOOH thats posh hula (haughty sniff)! Grin

fullmoonfiend · 18/04/2006 21:04

I have long hair and aften wear it in a pony tail (i hae a fringe though so I'm not exactly going for the ol' croyden facelift.) 36 this year, gulp.

Gingerbear · 18/04/2006 21:06

I could do with a facelift, Croydon or otherwise.

hulababy · 18/04/2006 21:07

LOL. Believe me it isn't posh!!! I just have to have hair off my face for work. Drives me mad otherwise.

I have just had my hair cut to bob length because I am 32 and all I ever did was the scraped back pony tail and no style and I think I am now of an age, or look like I am of an age, that needs a style kwim?
