What do you think to women in their 30's with log hair? : Is it time for a change.?

[DrNortherner]

Am 32 this year

Have had same hairstyle since I was 7. Long with a fringe.

Saw This Morning today (how crap is Julian Clary btw?) and they were giving women with long hair the chop, some looked fab with swishy new locks, all shiny and healthy.

I'm thinking 2008, new do and all? Whadya reckon?

Love my long hair - who cares how old I am!!

32 ok

once you're into your late 30s then yup,. chop it off

or mid 30s if you look old

no don't cut it just cos of your age!!!!

the swishy one looked lovely

I vote chop

Yes I thought swishy woman looke fab. Last one not so fab - the elfin look didn't suit her.

I'm 34 and my hair is fucking fabulous long and makes me look younger apparently! Be proud of your tresses. Mind you I ditched the fringe a long time ago. Maybe just a different styled 'do'?

i'm 38. mine is longish.

longer hair is more flattering when older i find.

I always said that I would cut my hair short when I turned 30.

Still had long hair last summer (at 34), then got it cut shorter. Now have a slightly graduated bob (not pob) bit longer at the front but shorter at the back.

I think if, like me, you have thin hair then it looks better when you wear it shorter, as your hair tends to thin out a bit when you get older. (or is that just me?)

cropped short = old! My mum is 48 and has lvoely long hair and people cannot believe her age!

I'm almost 37 and have long hair. I don;t have much grey yet and have decided that I'll have to get it cut when the grey gets too much, so I'm going to enjoy it while I can.

But on your pics it (your hair) and you look gorgeous. I just had mine chopped off because I was sick of it, it was fine and scraggly and did nothing for me. Having shorter hair is soooo much harder to manage. I have to blow dry it now. nightmare

Love my long hair. And know a couple of women in their 60s/70s who look fab with long hair, so I'm keeping it

i vote having a change because youve had the same haircut for 25 years (rather than the fact youre in your 30's iykwim)

(ps also watched this morning with JC - C.RIIINGE!!)

Mrs Badger has just told me to cut mine off on another thread; I am 37.

Maybe you should try growing out the fringe first, then making your mind up after that?

But don't pay any attention to be because I know nothing of these things and have been known to still wear pigtails at times.

I am 32 with long hair, but it was short since I was 17 so will NEVER cut it, not even when I am one of those weirdy old ladies. I think I look OK though, think there is a pic on my profile.

Message withdrawn

Just looked at your pic - Dont cut your hair, you look fab! Maybe get a different type of fringe or grow it out have layers or something but don't cut your hair off!

Noooooo, I'm not giving up me fringe. TRied that once and looked awful.

The fringe stays.

Your hair is lovely and you look about 17. Keep it. Long hair is much easier to manage.

ditch the fringe maybe..?
i heard that women over a certain age (hem hem) are "allowed" (hem hem hem) to have hair that goes down to the bottom of their bra strap, you know, where it joins on to the cup, otherwise it looks too long. Something to do with proportion.

I'm 24 and my mum keeps going on and on and on at me that I'm too old for long hair! I say all the celebs pay hundreds for hair extentions so why get it cut? Jennifer Anniston has long hair, Angelina has long hair, etc. If you like your hair long keep it! You can always get it cut into a different style without losing length. Maybe grow your fringe out or something if you're board of it. Julian Clary is crap isn't he! Bring back phil!!!

God, don't have an old-ladies' short cut whatever you do!

a shorter bob thing is good but I think long hair keeps you looking younger, if it's in good condition and you aren't an old bat!

Sorry x-post keep the fringe then!
