Unwritten rule about older women & SHORT HAIR?
It is me, or do nearly all women cut their hair short (like a man) once they hit like 50-55ish? WHY IS THAT??

Less maintenance, maybe shoulder problems...maybe they have all ready roped their man, and don't feel the need to impress people....
Shorter hair is easily maintained. I think when you get a certain age, the quality & thickness of your hair deteriorate, Short hair hides this defect to an extent. Plus a LOT more older women wear wigs than you think. and Shorter are easier in that aspect too.
1. less maintenance
2.shorter hair creates the illusion of a slimmer jaw line, (less noticable jowls)
3. Illusion of a longer more youthful neck (less noticable neck wrinkles)
4 Shorter hair draws attention to the eyes, and lips
5. If you have joint problems in the neck or shoulders the added weight, of hair or the maintenance of longer hair can be difficult to manage
I don't know, but it often looks awful. My hair is down to my hips now at age 30, and it's gonna stay that way if I can help it.
I hate it when they cut their hair to look like a mushroom or a goat or something.
My mother says it adds ten years to your look if you have long hair in your fifties. Hers was always short too. I am going to leave mine long no matter how old I become. You can always wear it up!!
Probably because they are not as able to give long hair the attention it needs due to arthritis and such. Easier management.

What do you care?
Often the muscles of the face and neck start to sag, and long layers pull the gaze down to emphasize them. Short hair is often more flattering.
Could be that adult women are confident and don't base their looks on other people's approval. Try it sometime.
I've kept mine short b/c I lost a lot of it during chemotherapy. Long layers only emphasize the thin spots.
But again, what's it to you?
IV ALWAYS BEEN PERPLEXED ON THIS SUBJECT. HAIR DOES NOT HAVE TO BE TOO SHORT FOR MAINTENANCE, THAT IS SIMPLY OUT OF BEING SHEER LAZY AND BEING IN A FUNKY COMFORT ZONE!
Ive noticed that to.......i dont know why , I guess I have to what 30 more years to find out
Because they are old and don't care to fix their hair.
