when I see women over 40 ( and I am one ) with long hair that is unstyled and long but just hanging their for sake of being long, it does nothing but age them, and look so dated. If you are going to keep your hair long it requires maintenance and styling or it will be worse than having short hair.
Not true.
I'm 40 and do not process my hair at all. The most "styling" I do to it is put it up in a ponytail. It's long, sleek, shiny and I never stop getting compliments on it. I also rarely get taken for 40. Most people guess me in the 27-32 range.
When people ask how I care for my hair, I tell them that I use high quality shampoo and conditioner, trim the split ends a couple of times a year and that's it. I never blow dry, curl or perm it and seldom use dye. If you want beautiful, healthy hair STOP styling it. There's nothing worse for aging a woman than dried out, over-processed hair.
I'd agree if that is what I meant. My hair is far from dried out or over processed. I use a vegetable based coloring product and set it myself in steam rollers, not hot irons. I love my hair, and I admit I spend a lot of time on it and I probably always will. I was referring to women of a certain age with lank stick straight hair that makes them look far older than they are. Unstyled, skun back from the face in a ponytail that is grey and too thin, or just basically there for the sake of being there. Pretty much exactly what Nueva Vida said in her post. For me, 45 year olds with hair to their ass looks so aging. I have seen your profile pics, your hair is lustrous and gorgeous, it isn't the look I am referring to.
Coloring your hair can actually make it thicker, shiner and more lustrous. The products out now are amazing. I always get a clear gloss applied at the end and it makes your hair look like and feel like glass.
