but, some of us don't suit short hair cuts. short hair doesn't suit me, its never suited me. - I look awful with short hair. and that's not just my opinion - my SIL is a hairdresser and also lectures at a local college, and even she says to never go short. my 'updo' suits me. so sorry, but my hair will NOT get above shoulder length no matter what my age.

Same here.

Gotta ask though: what is an 'updo?'

I think it's when your hair is 'up' but in a style, rather than a ponytail.

Lily Rose who was the lady with grey hair in your 3rd picture?

At college, me and my best friend were the only ones on our course with long straight hair (Rock Chicks!), everyone else had a perm....we called them the sheep, because they all just copied each other. We used to laugh, and say that we'd be old women with long grey hairl and everyone else would have a purple rinsed perm! :rotfl:

Hey don't diss the perm:rotfl:
When i was about 15 i was a sheep, i wanted a perm just on the top of my head, as was the style at the time...honest. Had it done and had to keep running to the toilets in school to wet it because is kept springing back to tiny little curls leaving me looking like Tefal mans twin (if anyone remembers him)?..:o

Tbh, when I was at school I wanted a perm, I really wanted curly hair, but never did get one. At college though, we thought we were the coolest rock/hippy chicks with our long straight (dyed all colours) hair!

Don't know who Tefal man is btw! :rotfl:

Some guy of an advert for a Tefal product who had an outrageous hair cut that made his forehead look HUGE:D

Another here who will never cut their hair short, mine is a couple of inches past my shoulders, more Chrissie Hynde than Christie Brinkley!

I personally can't stand bobbed hair, (sorry OP ), it seems to be the uniform 'management' haircut at work. In the last couple of weeks I've had coffee with two old managers of mine who have been made redundant and now work from home and both have grown their hair long since leaving (and ditched the Boden.)

I agree with the person above, go for a bob or a really good cut touching your shoulders. Theres nothing worse than long hair on middle aged/ older women, it makes them look older and that they are trying to hang on to their youth.
Grow older with class, dont be like Madonna.

Crap. I'm 44 and have long hair because it suits me. Heck, sometimes I dye it pink or purple too. Am I too old for that?

To show what I meant earlier about how this is no universal rule, this is the Queen Mother aged about 18:



and in her 90s. The hairstyle's practically the same!



Whereas her mother-in-law, Queen Mary, also stuck to pretty much the same hair for decades but long and up:

Ah, it's coming back to me now, I can vaguely remember him....he actually looks like Ant McPartlin! I shouldn't scoff, I've got a fairly big forehead myself! :rotfl:
