My favorite topic! Of course a sister can and should have hair any length she wants - no matter what her age! Remember, women kept their hair long their whole lives for centuries. Short hair came on the scene with the women's suffragette movement. Since then it became normal and, of course, hair stylists love you. Now, I have nothing against short hair and if you have the right hair you can look great. The problem is when society tries to dictate that you should cut your hair when you're over 40. I disagree with that statement!!! I accepted my straight hair and it looks great long! And I work in the business world. It is even easier to keep (for me that is). Besides, I love the way it feels! Contrary to the popular misconception, short hair was harder for me to keep. I constantly had to style it! But I do believe that if a women is older and wears her hair long she has an obligation to the world to keep it nice so people don't view her as a bad example. And, as far as anybody mistaking me for a fundamentalist - if you wear makeup and stylish clothing that will never happen.
If anybody, male or female, has a problem with my long hair they should get over it and get a life.
