There is a debate going around, which I find absurd: Should women chop off their hair after a certain age into a more sensible, ‘age-appropriate’ style?
Now, before anyone my age or older loses their mind, let me just say I believe it’s a load of BS.
Times have changed and now women post-50, 60 and above, are choosing to do what they darn well please.
In fact, we look younger now at 65 than we used to at 50 back in the day. Is it fashion? Is it a trend? Is it injectables? Or are we just becoming more self-assured and sticking to our guns?
Watch: Short hairstyles we love. Story continues after video.
Women used to cut their hair off as they got older because it was more practical and easier to manage (and if we are honest, a lot of us succumb to that when we have babies for that exact reason).
As we age, hair naturally loses its shine and vibrancy and can become thin and brittle, so it is certainly easier to look after when it's short. However, the range of game-changing hair products on the market these days have made it easier to maintain well-nourished locks at ANY age.
