NON FISHING Can you answer this question

[Cudz]

Why do all older ladies (65+) have short hair?

 

It is kind of freaking me out a bit since noticing this trend.

 

Is it because long hair is too difficult to manage and looks messy if you don't?

 

Is it because their hair no longer grows when they are older?

 

Is it because when it is long and you are old it is not manageable and is very wirery?

 

Just wondering.

I know it is weird, but whatever

[misfish]

Never mind,I just seen the 65+. Now Im really dead.

I never noticed, never looked at older ladies

 

but it is interesting that you notice them...LOL

[Terry]

but if you really want to know google says this

 

 

 

Long hair may look sexy and luxurious on someone who is in their 20s or 30s, but after the age of 40 not many women look good with long hair. It is a generally accepted fact that as women get older, their hair should be lighter and shorter. When we think of a woman of 65 with charcoal black hair down to her waist, the image strikes us as being unnatural and unusual. However, it is much easier to imagine an older woman with soft blonde hair cut above her shoulders.

 

One reason why older women should have shorter hair is because of the fact that the aging process not only affects the skin, but also the hair. As we age, our hair becomes less shiny, more coarse, and more prone to breakage. Older hair is not as pliable as younger hair, and is therefore more fragile. Because of this fact, long hair on an older woman seldom looks healthy, and more often than not makes the woman look bedraggled and ragged.

 

Shorter hair also makes people look younger than they really are because long hair gives the illusion of elongating facial features. If an older woman with a sagging chin and drooping eyelids were to wear her hair long, she risks the chance of looking like a bloodhound.

 

Shorter hair is also preferred by older women because it gives the illusion of fullness. As we age, our hair loses volume, and long hair will look flat and lifeless on an older woman. Cutting the hair short provides many more styling opportunities for the older woman, since the hair can be set in rollers or a curling iron, it can be permed, and it can be teased. All of these things will make hair look thicker and fuller, and will therefore make the woman look younger.

 

Of course, as with every rule there are exceptions. I have seen a few older women with long hair who were able to pull off the look. But they all had one thing in common: their hair was unnaturally thick and still maintained its youthful luster and shine. Had these women been cursed with thin hair that was dull in appearance, they would have looked much older than they really were.

 

Even though long flowing hair is the dream of nearly every woman, women must be realistic and accept their limitations. Getting older is an undeniable fact of life. Women who try too hard to defy Father Time just end up looking desperate and ridiculous. In an ideal world, women of 65 would have the same hair they had when they were teenagers, but in real life things just don't work out that way.

Short hair is a side effect of chemotherapy.

Women who hit 65 aren't usually too interested in impressing the opposite sex with their appearance anymore.. they opt for convenience instead. Hence the reason they wear only clothes that are comfortable and manageable, rather than the latest fashion.

What a bizarre thread...

[Harrison]

I asked a co-worker here this question, she is a hip 66 and her reponse was "it's easier to fix up after you roll out of a guys bed in the morning" . PM me your # Cudz and I'll pass it on..

[BillsTheBassMan]

I think Cudz should do one of these every week . . . . Leftfield Trends, or something like that. It's interesting anyways.

We can just start out by texting and we will see where that leads us.

Strangest topic I've seen on a fishing site.. I guess when I'm over 65 I will be able to stop wearin' a hat to keep my hair out of my face!
