In my nearly 50 years of observation, I've come to the conclusion that the hair is like a fishing lure and it stays only long enough for them to lock in the mate the intend to stay with.
The moment ladies are comfortable with their choice and convinced that the game has been won, the hair is the first thing to go.
So, it's not necessarily got anything to do with hitting the age of 30 so much as having the fish in the net.
My husband likes short hair, generally. I sacrificed - after the wedding - and chopped off my hair because he seems conditioned by all the women in his family to like short. But, while he “likes it” with me, I think he sees the folly of his ways in how my hair behaves. After the baby, I intend to start growing it again.
I think you're misconstruing what happens. When a woman gets older or has children, very often her hair thins dramatically. A lot of women lose handfuls of hair during pregnancy. Long, thin, broken, straggling hair is not attractive. So women in their late thirties and forties often have to start cutting the thin hair. A woman like this one who still has luxuriant locks in her forties is rare.
As for me, In my middle age I'm fighting it out to the bitter end because Mr. Fairview would kill himself if I cut my hair. It's up to the shoulders now, though.
Lloyd227, I am a 45 year old happily married woman with the same super-long hair I had the day I married my husband.

How long does hair have to be for you to consider it long enpugh and what is too short?
Blame it on the hair stylists.....
I’ve been nagged and I’ve seen them nag women with long hair to cut it....
Because “you’re old, too heavy, too thin, it doesn’t suit your face, it doesn’t suit your lifestyle.”
Believe me when I say, there’s lots of pressure the older you get to ‘look your age.’
