Why do older women have short hair?

Once chics get married they believe they no longer have to look good and immediately lop off all their hair so they don't have to mess with it anymore.

My GF and I were talking about this... it's definitely true.

I have to concur, although I would have figured the trigger as having children rather than simply getting married. It's when women somehow morph from being sexually attractive, to being mothers who generally nag about stuff.

I knew a girl that did that too. It's kind of a cross between a librarian and that old lady from the movie Twister. I don't get the reasoning behind that decision.

You have a problem with librarians?

long hair advertises a females health over a long period
it is a mating signal that the meat is good.
unecessary for the old

When my mom was young, she wore her hair longer than shoulder length. As she got older, the hair got shorter and shorter. (fortunately, never quite "bull-*** short) She said she preferred it short because it was easier to take care of...maybe I should pay attention to that....this long hair is a PITA to take care of...

My mom had long straight hair down to her waist until chemo treatment, then it grew back curly so she decided to keep it short.

or maybe a whole lot of long, gray hair isn't very flattering in their opinion?

Found some pics of long gray hair. I like it better than short gray hair.

you may like it but it doesn't mean the owner likes it.

Shorter hair means less hair to dye!

i always thought its because when they have babies, the babies always grab and pull at their long hair so they cut it.
