How old is too old

LOL!  What a hoot! :D  "Too old" is when the hairstyle or color doesn't flatter you.  That's not a specific age; it's just a look.  If yours looks good on you and still makes you confident, it's the perfect one for you.

Actually, it sounds like a great bit of jealousy on her part.  Ignore her and just laugh at her stupidity with these comments.

You might also let her know that we're no longer in the 1800s when women had to start wearing their hair "up" at a certain age.  Maybe she hasn't seen a calendar in a while???

Tell your friend that your hair is really none of her business, unless she was fishing for some sub-optimal things about herself she wishes you to point out to her? In which case I’m sure you could come up with lots of things.

She sounds a little jealous if you ask me, but I'm biased (and have hair I can tuck into my pants).

HushHush:
Personally, and this is my own personal opinion, I think long hair on older women and extremely dark hair on older women tends to make them look older.  The longer hair because long hair is a style associated with young women and it kind of looks like the woman is pretending to be younger than she is which makes her look older (to me!).  The extremely dark hair because it can look too harsh next to lighter skin and brings attention to any wrinkles.  Skin also tends to change shades as women age and hair color/make-up should be adjusted accordingly.

However, these are my own personal opinions and i've certainly seen women who can pull off both of these.  But for me, I don't think i'll have long hair when I'm in my forties.  If you like the way it looks then phooey on her.

But maybe take her up on her salon offer to get a great deep conditioning treatment without anything else.  I'd go for the scalp massage alone!

Tell her to look at Teri Hatcher on "Desperate Housewives."  She has long dark hair and she looks FABULOUS.
