In reply to the discussion: Women with long hair approaching 60? A no-no? [View all]cui bono
(19,926 posts)183. Who the fuck cares?
And why the fuck does it matter?
And why is there an age limit on how one wears their hair? Women, and men for that matter, should wear their hair any damn way they want to.
LEAVE WOMEN ALONE!!!
Seriously, even in the lounge, what is up with all the woman objectifying? What does it matter? Why are women always judged by what they look like above everything else? So tired of it. This is beneath even the lounge when it's on a Dem political board.

I see a lot of older women with long hair where I live. I keep mine long to keep it under control.

Ah...skunk stripe. I've had that when changing color brands, or of course if I'm overdue touchups.

Me, too. But I think the hair has to do with her busy schedule and traveling.

I will never have gray hair, as long as there's a bottle of brown dye left in the world.

I love your hair!!! But I don't call that long. I call that medium, shoulder length.

I've thought of wearing my hair long, to save money--not having to pay for perms and cuts.
