How do you feel about men, over 60, with long hair?

If long or longer hair works for men over 60, all the power to them.

Prerequisites (in my books) as to a man, any man, sporting long or longer hair... hair must be thick and full (not stringy), and have a nice style about it, and IMO nothing beats a man with naturally wavy hair. My husband has the most gorgeous of locks... dark, thick, wavy, OMG, still drives me wild after all these years.

Dear husband is nearing 60, and still looks like he's in his late 40's, courtesy of his dark, youthful, thick wavy mane.

Never thought much about hair as anything other than part of overall grooming. Bald as a choice isn't necessarily about being lazy. When hair loss has your forehead meeting the male pattern baldness on the back of your head making you look like Clarabell the clown bald IMO looks better. Or that hair loss to the point that a comb over to try to hide what was lost is just plain rediculous.

Then there are guys like me that kept a promise. My wife wanted to see what I looked like bald so I agreed to go bald the day after I retired. Looking like Yul Brenner I've gotten a lot of complements. Hair doesn't define a person how they feel about themselves is all that counts. A plus is no gray to show advancing age. At 79 most think i'm in my late 50's or early 60's
 
My man shaves his head bald since he’s got the typical make patterned baldness and I admit that it looks far better. Just my opinion but I think people who show they accept the stages in life as is and not try and prevent them ,are ‘most’ attractive. Might as well OWN IT!

We all have an idea of how we want to look. Go for it. Just keep in mind that some changes are forever.
 
Ladies, doesn't it depend on how much hair is left on top?

@Ceege, what types of changes would be forever? (Just trying to figure it out.)

Sometimes people get into a rut, so to speak. They find that look that they believe is the best, and tend to stick to it decade after decade. Never daring to try something else.

Men with long hair are great. But, I wonder what they would look like if they got it cut. Are they willing to take the chance of looking better with short hair? If they don't look better, they could let it grow long again, but it might be a year or two before it gets back to the length they really liked.
If someone with short hair let their hair grow out and didn't like it, it's just a short trip to the barber and it's short again. But, getting long hair cut and not liking it becomes a waiting game a1.gifto get that look back again.

He’s very lucky to have hair & colour. IMO, they get to keep one or the other. Rarely both.


As long as the hair is clean, I’m not concerned about length.

If DH grew his long, I’d be very concerned that he’s going through a crisis. He schedules his short cut for every 5 weeks.
