no hard & fast rule of course but imo women 45 and over shouldn't keep their hair long..it just doesn't look right...not on Julia, not on Jilly, not on Jill Franks - and certainly not on a lot of women I see walking up & down my local high street! To me it smacks
I don't think age has anything to do with it, it's more a case of whether the style suits you or not, regardless of age. You mention Jilly and JF, both have fine hair so need layers to give it body, that style wouldn't have suited them 10, 20 years ago, let alone now.
Haven't you heard, 40 is the new 20........ but then again, maybe I'm just desperate!! :cheeky:
