The ones who kept their hair long actually look quite nice for the most part. The ones who cut their hair short like Kelly McGillis look dumpy and mostly awful. Sorry to the ladies out there with shorter hair who are offended by that statement. I just find short hair on women very unflattering in general.

On the other hand, Lara Flynn Boyle and Kathleen Turner still look rather elegant and feminine with their longer locks.

Pictured below is Linda Ronstadt, the fantasy woman of my adolescence years (never mind her politics). How she looked in her heyday and how she looks today with that awful bowl cut. I chose this particular younger photo of Linda because this is almost exactly what my wife looked like when I first met her. She had the exact same hairstyle as well.

I argue with her (my wife), all the time over this one as she wants to also cut it short now that she's in her 60s. I pretty much beg her to keep it at least shoulder length. I would hate for her to look like the older Linda.

She claims that as a man, I have it made, as I can keep short hair all the time. So I sort of threw down the gauntlet and have decided to grow my own hair long. If I get my hair long, she will have to agree to not cut her hair short as she will not tolerate me having longer hair than her. So looks like in another year or so, I'll be looking somewhat like Mickey Rourke in the photo from the article (though I'm actually aiming for Brad Pitt).

Oh well, the things you do for love.

I haven’t had short hair in years, but I hated it. It’s been just below my shoulders for years, but a few months ago, I decided I wanted to try growing it even longer. I agree with you that longer hair can help a woman look a bit younger. Can you imagine Linda R if she had kept her hair long? She was a beauty!

I think Selena Gomez is Linda’s doppelganger.

Emmylou Harris looks pretty good for 75.

Dang! I did the same thing. My wife keeps cutting her hair shorter and shorter. Told her I was going to let my beard and hair grow out and look like a hippy! lol Did it for about 4 months and then went and had it chopped off. Oh well.
When my wife was young she had short hair like Pat Benatar. She could rock that look like no other.

Young Linda was a caliente mama, old Linda looks like an abuela. It’s the Mexican (descended) way (and there is nothing wrong with that - they still age better than Eastern Europeans do).
