If you have long hair that is pretty, wear it long until you die.
Short hair does NOT have to be permed and teased! Think Jamie Lee Curtis. I keep my hair (which is very dark with a very few almost invisible strands of gray) short like hers because my hair is baby fine and a little bit wavy. It won't stay straight and it won't hold a curl (and I've only had one perm in my life that actually worked). There's plenty of it, but it's so fine that a pony tail just isn't very big around. It wasn't pretty when it was long when I was a teenager and the situation didn't get better as I aged.
There are many middle aged women who look a decade younger when they go short. I see that a lot in my fitness center classes. But women who have beautiful long hair should not cut it just because they reach a certain age...
