I think that long hair can be aging. It does depend on the hair and the face but often a few layers around the face or few centimeters off can really knock years off your look.
I think the biggest mistake that lots of women make is sticking with the same hairstyles as they age. Often the style that looks great in your 20's in not a great style for your 30's or 40's. Not just cut but colour too. The great thing about hair is that it always grows back so you can experiment and if you don't like it you can just regrow or restyle it.

Without having read any responses I reckon that long hair can look as terrific on a 40, 50 or 60 year old as it can on someone much younger. By the same token, long hair can look as dreadful on a 20 year old as it can on someone much older. I guess I'm saying that it's something that can probably only be based on an individual basis, IMO.

What AndiE said
My SIL is 25 and has long hair and it looks dreadful - mostly because she has really thin hair and has tried to pad it out with extensions and its just...so bad...I don't even...:shakehead:
I agree its down to the individual, but I'll admit if I see an older woman in her 60's or 70's with bum length ratty hair I'll think 'she's too old for that' but if I see someone in their 20's with ratty bum length hair I just think 'urgh cut it or trim it or something.' Maybe its just more that if you're going to have long hair, take care of it no matter what your age?
