Is it very weird to keep hair very long for a 50-years-old woman ?

my mum has very long hair that just down to her knees.She started to grow her hair when she was in her late 30's.Now she is 50 years old.





She wears her straight mane into a huge bun during the day time .More and more friends of hers have began to think my mum's hairstyle is a totle failure,out of fashion,not suitable for her.so many friends think it is wrong for my mum to be a modern day Rapunzel.


I think my mum has special feeling for her long hair.


but so many people said such long hair was too bad .Is it very weird to keep hair very long for a 50-years-old woman ?

The idea that an older woman should have long hair is an old wife's tale based on absolutely nothing. It's ridiculous that some people still think that your age should dictate your hairstyle, I think it's akin to some silly superstition. Long hair on a woman is beautiful regardless of her age. She needs to tell those fashion fascists to bugger off and worry about their own hair (or lack thereof).
Its beautifully executed and really pretty hair.I suppose it depends how she looks in it-you don't show her face, how your Dad likes it and how she feels. I don't think its weird. It totally depends on how she looks. Perhaps she could talk to a stylist about different ways of wearing it. Maybe a figure eight twist thats like a long pony tail or a braid or something. My only other comment to her would be that if she never wears it down, whats the purpose?
OMG! very strange! I think that the longest anyone, at any age, should go is to mid-back!!! Any longer is when your hair becomes unhealthy, and it's all dead-ends, unless they've trimmed it at least every 3 months!
It's her hair, so it's up to her and not her friends. Since it isn't grey and looks healthy, than I would say it looks fine. But maybe she should go in for a trim every so often.
It looks ok in the picture. As long as she is happy with it. Long hair at 50 is no problem, just think of Madonna. As long as it's kept clean and in good condition it's ok.
Looks ok to me, it seems like shes taking care of it and not negligent to her appearance so its all good.





Also your now imaging your mom naked and breathing manually.
It isn't weird. However, I would cut it. It doesn't look attractive. Go short. Maybe a bob or shoulder-lenght locks.
It looks great! I think her friends are just jealous
ask your self would it look better shaved?

    Not cutting one's hair can be a very cultural thing and sometimes even a religious thing. I would never presume to tell someone that they should go against their culture or their religion. That being said, in our American culture, long hair is associated with younger girls, and most older women tend to look foolish with extremely long hair. It seems like they're trying to look younger or maintain their youth. Usually, it's an utter failure. Women often feel like their hair is their ';crowning glory'; and this myth is perpetuated by men who, for whatever reason, seem to adore long hair. I understand that your mom may really love her long hair, but she should really consider cutting it at least to her shoulders. That way, she will still have the feel of longer hair, but it will look much better.Is it very weird to keep hair very long for a 50-years-old woman ?
    No really, im 14 and i will sitll have long hair until im 80!!








    And if its in a bun, you cant notice it. People will proberly think its a clip-on bun.





    No honestly, you should love her hair as if it was your own :)
    wow, thats amazing! i dont think her age makes a difference (50 isn't that old) , i don't think her hair looks bad, but, though i can't see her face, i think she would look really beautiful if she could wear her hair down. has she ever considered donating her hair to locks of love? because, from what i see her hair looks healthy and is a very lovely color. should should donate it and then get a great stylist and ask their opinion on what hairstyle would suit her best.
    Don't say this about your Mom, you have to spend good time with her because you never know what's going to happen...


    That's really mean...And maybe your Moms comfortable with her hair like that, I think it looks awesome in a bun...Nice and sophisticated!
    she should cut it. a lot of older women like cutting their hair into spunky hairstyles to make them feel more vivid!
    Yes, no1 wants to see that sh*t. Dammmmmmnnnn.


    Peace
    her friends are just jelous. she hould keep her hair like that.
    Your mum should be applauded for having her hair the way she wants it, not the way society dictates. Her friends sound like jealous conformists, allowing themselves to be pressured by silly old-fashioned standards.


    Her hair is BEAUTIFUL and she should be proud to not only enjoy life at 50, but to enjoy her hair too. Isn't what makes your mum happy what truly matters anyway?

    I am looking for a woman from New Hampshire named Tanyn Palmer(bout 28 years old with red hair).?

    Is it considered weird, out-dated,or old-fashioned for an adult woman to wear a bow or ribbon in her hair?

    Small ribbons or anything that looks like Disney is a BAD idea. However, a tasteful ribbon around a ponytail or as a head band isn't bad.Is it considered weird, out-dated,or old-fashioned for an adult woman to wear a bow or ribbon in her hair?
    Yes, weird, outdated and old fashion!!!Is it considered weird, out-dated,or old-fashioned for an adult woman to wear a bow or ribbon in her hair?
    I don't know but the person who wants to wear it shouldn't care either way! It's their hair, nobody else's. They can do what they want.
    Yes.
    If those around you do not, then it would be considered weird. No matter whether it is out-dated, or old-fashioned.





    Unless, you can pull it off, but that usually takes luck in the physical department and lots of talent.
    Do what ever makes you happy! if you think looks good go for it!! Maybe you will start a trend!! have fun!!
    It probably is, but hey, if you can wear it and it looks good and you like it - go for it.
    i would say it depends on how you wear it.





    just don't be tacky by wearing a big bow.
    Not anymore, but you do have to pair it with something very chic and with clean lines.
    Yes!!!
    For the most part I'd have to say yes. Bows and ribbons in ones hair are kinda of Pollyanna-ish for a grown woman.
    It is my opinion that not at all. If you like it and it makes you look good go ahead. i still wear head bands and things there is nothing wrong with that!!!!!
    no,it's not.
    ribbons are back I think


    it's the 80s re-visted god help us
    I don't think so. It depends on how it looks. If the ribbon is not a goo complimenting color to the womans skin,hair or clothing color, then obviously it's not going to look attractive. plus it also depends on the way the hair is...is it bid a curly?frizzy? poofy?straight? Many things go into consideration. Try a nice loose curl and a black satin ribbon with the tie or bow at the bottom of your hair where your neck is.





    Hope you try it out and it looks good! :D
    it depends n how it is styled and worn...if you are talking about wearing it like a seventh grade cheerleader then yes it's out dated...but if it is a scarf or a tie for a low pony tail no...

    What hair style is flatterig for a fifty year old fashionable & attractive woman?

    Well, Anna Wintour is all of the above (head of Vogue) and she's favoured a blunt bob for years:

    i think first of all they have to look healthyWhat hair style is flatterig for a fifty year old fashionable %26amp; attractive woman?
    It really depends on your hair type and face shape but as a 42 year old I would say that soft layers and some highlights or lowlights are the most youthful look. I recently spent 2 years growing my hair into a one length bob only to find that the precision style was a bit too harsh for me now. I've had it cut quite short with long choppy layers and rough dry it so it waves naturally. I look much younger.


    I also like really short (think Annie Lennox) type cuts but you do need fab features to get away with it.
    Go For a smart short hair. Have a look around you! Women in your age with long hair look older! So go for a short style hair.. Its practical, sexier, smarter.. and most of all look younger!!! xxx
    If you want longer hair get it really choppy and really layered it will make you look younger a few highlights or low lights similar to your own colour but maybe a tone or shade higher or lower.





    if you want shorter hair a ';pob'; is like a bob but its more styled its more short at the back and it gets longer as it comes round. get it darker underneath and lighter on top...but not too light because then it will look Overdone





    Autumn colours its always advised you go darker in autumn months but you dont have to you can stand out and go lighter or if you are going darker coppery browns and purpley browns are HOT! if your going blonde dont go platinum that's CRAZY! go for an ash or a honey blonde





    DO NOT! GET A PERM, DO NOT GET IT CROPPED, DO ONT GET IT CHEAP AND TARTY LOOKING! If your having it long make sure its very layered and styled





    hope i helped xxx
    I can try and answer that as a man who notices women who look special. First of all I believe hair styles should be matched to the Shape of a woman's face, and complexion. Then it is important to focus on the Health of your hair Styles should be thought of at the end and should go with the attire.


    I think any woman could look a lot more beautiful than she sometimes would believe possible. Your question suggests your positive attitude.
    I think you have to be careful. Styles such as graduated bobs look good but next year the trends will change. First of all, it depends upon the texture of your hair, whether its frizzy, straight, or kinky.





    I dont think really long style will look good. I would say anything below the shoulders is a faux pass. Layered hair looks really nice and layered bobs also look stylish too. You dont have to hack your hair off, but dont have it so long that you look like a witch.
    My wife is a very very attractive, %26amp; fashionable fifty ++ year old woman who was mistaken for our 33 year old daughters sister. She has a graduated bob hair style with full head colour. she is naturally blonde. Her hair looks fab. :0))
    i would say a bob cause there very in and all aged ppl look good with them xx
    A shiny bob would look amazing. Short hair is very fashionable. It would create a young feel, especially if a hint of layers were added!





    Also, a sideswept fringe would be a cute addition. A bob with a consistant shape can look a tad boring.
    The answer from spikeanangel is great. That person sounds like a stylist.
    a bob long at the front short at the back easy to do and smart good luck
    depending on your face shape, but I'd go for something like a bob with choppy layers and maybe a fringe
    maybe try something like this, just because your 50 doesnt mean u cant have hair like younger people...even something simple will look fine with accesseries:

    Hi I am a Mature female and own a salon, so I see a lot of mature females and different styles, it is a fallacy that because you get older you should cut your hair, total rubbish


    there is some fantastic styles about, depending on your face shape, I have a inverted bob and my hair is blonde, the back is taken in high and tight, and the bob goes to my jaw, the A line bob is in great demand, however you should choose the style you like, and as a stylist I always spend time in consultation with my clients, and have computer imaging so they can see the style on them first, nice to hear from a more mature female
    Hair net and rollers
    it all really depends on your face shape, if you have a round face you dont want too much body at the sides, if a long/thin face then you dont want too much body on top, but could look good with a full fringe, or even an asymetric, graduated fringe, however in short, I think that shorter styles with a great deal of texture and quite short in the neck are really flattering, more often than not long styles are aging, and if you have long hair I should consider a total re-style, do you have colour? There are all maner of different styles, I would suggest that you arm yourself with lots of pictures of styles that you like, try to get as many different styles as you can as quite often folk go with one pic and their hair is nothing like in the pic regards texture, volume curl etc. and consult with your stylist, they knoe your hair and should be able to guide you with the appropriate style and form...


    hope this proves helpfull...

    nope and it's really her biz how she wants her hair, now isn't it?

    Do you think very long hair is ugly for a 42-year-old woman?

    my mum has very long hair that just down to her middle thighs.She started to grow her hair when she was in her 30's.Now she is 42years old.


    We are from China.My mum only trims her hair every 6 month.SO her hair is black ,straight,and no split ends,never permed and dyed.She wears her black straight hair into a huge braid bun that fixed on her head with a big hairnet.





    Many friends don't think my mum's hair style is suitable for the modern day.Even a stylist told her that her hair was ';ugly'; ,she should cut her hair just past her shoulder and curl it.





    Do you think very long hair is ugly for a 42-year-old woman?My mum has some feeling for the long hair because of the age of the hair.But she would consider cutting it if hair that long was really ugly.What is your opinion?Please tell us,the more words the better.Thanks.

    i don't think it's ugly at all since your mum's hair is sleek and looks healthy. however she should cut it if it's already inconveniencing her like the time and the amount of shampoo it takes her to wash it, the effort it takes to comb it and put in in a bun. otherwise, it's ok.Do you think very long hair is ugly for a 42-year-old woman?
    i wouldnt say its ugly, because it looks natrual and healthy, but mid-thigh legnth is reeeealy long, lol. If she cut it to about mid-back legnth it would be alot easier to look after and people wouldnt say its ';ugly';


    But if she likes it, then she should keep it, and dont worry about what other people think. :)
    I think long hair begins to look ratty the older you are


    a good shoulder length cut, or a couple inches below it will still have the same long effect with it looking healthy





    try cutting it and donating to cancer.. that way you will feel better about the transformation
    Hi smallman


    I got a nice answer to your concern at below websites. All you need to do is little search in the search box.


    This is some practical info about hair that you probably do not know but you should:


    One of the best website for all questions dealing with Hair-

    My stylist also got this stunning website for hair related matters:

    It doesn't matter the age. A woman could be 1 year old or 100 years old, but having your hair longer than where your elbows are looks horrible.





    Tell her to donate it to a cancer foundation or something.
    I think hair down to the thighs looks awful on anybody. Its just way too much. Whats the point? I think mid back is good, but anything past the butt is WAY too long.
    I think you should grow up and stop worrying. If your mum is happy, leave her alone.
    I think long black hair looks good on a 42 year old.
    I think it's so cute! Leave her be. If she likes her hair then don't worry.
    i think she should have it cut more sophisticated like a house wife look
    get her to donate it.
    i think she should. but maybe just to her belly button at first.
