Is mid-back length hair too long for a 26-year-old?

I cut my hair above my shoulders last Feb, and have been growing it out since. It's about an inch past my shoulders now, and I plan on growing it to mid-back length. However, I know it's almost customary in our society to cut our hair once we reach a certain age. I don't look good in short styles, but how long is too long? I'm always told I look younger than my age, and am short (5'2) and slim and don't want my hair to overpower me. It already has some light layering in it but I don't want to add more as I like having flexibility with updos.

Mid back sounds very good...perhaps between where your bra clasp is and the small of your back. As for the age thing...I understand traditions and such, but individuality and happiness is very important too...

how about you grow your hair out for maybe 1 1/2 more inches. if your hair is too long, it will overpower your small petite frame. if your hair is at the lenght i suggested you could style it like an adult when needed, but loose and fun when you want to!

At a farmer's market around here I saw a woman that I would guess was in her sixties or seventies with hair of that length all gone to gray. She really looked like an illustration out of a witch comic book. It really did not flatter her at that length while it was hanging down with no styling to it. I guess she thought she looked like some older country-music star but from the looks of horror on many passersby she had made a wrong style choice.

So by her example you could go for another 26 years before you would need to carefully evaluate what you look like in long styles. You are worrying much too early.

depends on what condition it is in. if your hair is ratty and stringy and gross then longer hair will just look worse. however if you keep it trimmed and nice and shiny and healthy, it can look really beautiful. i wouldn't worry so much about it overpowering you unless it is like down to your butt.

Some older women (even 50+) look good with long hair, if they take good care of it. Look at Madonna. She's getting older but still looks good with different styles. And Cher. Do what you want and makes you feel good about yourself. I think a lot of older women cut their hair short because it tends to make them look younger. If your hair is healthy age really shouldn't be a factor in deciding how to cut or style it.
