Long hair past 30!!


Opinions please! I have quite long hair (mid way down my back), and I have had quite a few comments lately about how I'm getting a bit old for hair this long, I'm 33 btw! What is your opinion on this, and I won't be offended as I'm looking to do something with it as it just hangs there, but not sure whether to cut it or keep the length and have it layered.

Do you ever wear it up Alex to give you an idea how shorter hair would suit you?

I wear it in a ponytail all the time (very grown up, lol) but I wouldn't want it cut into my face as I think my face shape is too round to suit that style.

Re: Long hair past 30!!


I was 40 this year Alex and only had my hair cut to shoulder length this year. I do prefer it shorter now but at your age I wouldn't have dreamnt of cutting it 'just because of my age'!! Do what you feel is right for you Alex not what you think you should do because of your age - which incidently is still an extremely young age!!

Re: Long hair past 30!!


I am a good bit older than you Alex, and wear mine in a bob just down to my shoulders... My opinion is, do what you want, not what others expect of you...If you like your hair long then keep it long...

Re: Long hair past 30!!


Still young, I like that Fran! thanks! I like having long hair but it's like rats tails as my mum used to say, and I want to have a more 'grown up' look, but I'm terrified of cutting it and hating it

Re: Long hair past 30!!


That's a personal choice and I don't think anyone should be critcized for their hair style regardles of age! I'm ancient compared to you and still wear my long hair in a pony tail...it suits me, my friends have been used to it for years, and I don't give a hoot if strangers think I'm too old for it. Incidentally, I'm still not grey; just genetics, my Dad's hair was still almost completely dark except for a bit around the temples when he died, and I inherited his hair: fine, limp, a tendency to curl in damp weather, and non-greying!!

Re: Long hair past 30!!


A woman I see on the bus fairly regularly looks about my age or maybe a tad younger, and she's completely grey and wears her hair in a ponytail too! Nice looking woman, too! "Do what you wanna do" as the song says .......

Re: Long hair past 30!!


Your hair is beautiful Alex.
You are the same age as me (I'm 4 months older than you actually) & I usually have longish hair. I like long hair. I don't think long / short hair is anything to do with fashion, just more about how you like your hair.
