Senior women should worry less about the "rules" of their hairstyles and focus more on why they should care less what random people think is right or wrong for how senior women present themselves. What happens on the top of any woman's head is her business. Thus, the rule is this: Senior women should wear whatever hairstyle they want to wear because it's nobody's business.

No Long Hair

"Women of a certain age shouldn't allow their hair to grow beyond their shoulders."

Says who?

This senior woman is stunning with her long hair, and she doesn't care about arbitrary hair rules designed to tell her what to do.

No "Young" Styles

"Older women should present themselves appropriately for their age."

Do you really think that this rocking lady is concerned with what anyone thinks of her free hairstyle? She's too busy being an original to fret about fitting in.

Keep It Neat

"Senior women should neatly pin their hair back to look well put-together."

While this woman's hair is a little wild, it's a good bet she's wild about life too. She's not defined by some unrealistic expectation of how her hair should be neatly pinned just because she has some years under her belt.

Get Out of the Past
