I am speaking in general here...

Because they cut it

Maybe their hair gets thin.

Because it's easier to take care of.

Have you ever seen an old woman; any old woman with long hair? It makes them look like a damned zombie.

OOOOHHH arn't u a nasty boy.

Women are frequently told that shorter hair looks more professional and that it makes them look younger. Also, women with babies may find that babies grab long hair.

i Agree with Jayelle, others say that the shorter hair you got the younger you get.... and older women tends to lose patience when it comes to their hair,,
