Reminds me of the 65 + yo dudes with pony tails. I always thought I'd grow my hair out when I retired and it didn't matter anymore. Ah, the wonder of youth. Blech!!
LOL
I, being a gramma several times over, let mine grow long - much easier to care for, no need for beauty parlors - saves time and money - etc etc. I find my age to be liberating. 'Certainly don't worry about what others may think about how I look or live. Life is much easier just being me, "my way."
