Is long hair ageing?

Was chatting in a large group recently where someone had had long hair chopped off. People were complimenting her and the general agreement was that long hair was ageing.
I have long hair and it got me thinking if it was a common thought or not?. Average age of the group was early/mid thirties.

Im due to get my hair cut soon, was planning a trim but now wondering to go abit shorter?

Thanks everyone. Def agree it needs a good few inches off to tidy it up. Thinking back iv'e not had it cut since Nov!
Tried a side parting before but my hair just wont lay right at all. I blame my the double crown ive inherited from my dad (and that ive passed onto the DD1!)

Off to finally book a hair appointment!

One of my friends is 45 with long hair and it looks dreadful - its bleached, waved and really ages her.

Another is 66 with long hair and it looks amazing. It's bleached, waved and really makes her youthful.

Maybe the specific cut or maybe the specific tone, but interesting.

My hair is long, unkempt and dyed way beyond a normal colour. I'm older than the younger person, younger than the older one. I'm lazy,so tying my hair back/putting it up is far easier than styling daily.
