A colleague went in to have her mid-back-length hair trimmed and came out with a shaggy shoulder-length cut. Naturally she was upset. Sadly, stories like this are all too common for those with long hair.However, the stylist told her something that I've never heard before. When cutting her hair he said: "Young women shouldn't have long hair. Long hair is for old women." What??? Those of us who are 'older' are often told that we shouldn't wear our hair long - that only young women can have long hair and get away with it.
What I want to know is who changed the rules when I wasn't looking?
I'm over forty (some would consider that old - I know my children do) and have long hair. 86cm to be exact. Or almost 34". (I've gained 3/4" this past month which is a record for me.)
It now seems that I'm 'allowed' to have long hair. Fancy that!
