I’m thinking of growing my hair down to my elbows. But I’m 43. Am I too old for hair that long?

I’m going to rebel and not only have long hair middle aged but when I’m old. I can’t stand the way old women wear their hair. I gonna fight against looking like that.

Hair down to your elbows is really long for any age. It would probably be unmanageable ?

Thanks for your input @anon12381882 @jukebox @everhopeful @77nick77 @roxanna. I’m going to grow it out and reassess when it’s that long. I can just put it up if I’m doing something where it’ll get in the way. I have always thought older ladies look good with long gray or white hair but I wasn’t sure if I’m way out of the norm. But I’ll give it a go

No way! I’m almost 43 also and my hair is at the middle of my back. Sometimes I wonder if it’s too long but I love it too much to cut it. I say go for it!

I think gone are the days when only young women can have long hair. I would if I could but my hair is too fine and just breaks off. Do what you like. Your opinion is what matters most.

No, I had long hair down to my hips at the age of 40. At age 41, I cut it down to just below my shoulders and it looked very thick, shiny, wavy and great. I didn’t cut my hair short until I turned about 49.

My mom used to say that a woman over 40 shouldn’t have long hair. But I was over 40 and had my hair past my shoulders. Now it’s just at my shoulders.
I say if you like your hair and you’re able to grow it long then you should!

I’ve never thought long hair had an age limit.
