I'll add 3. Big and long hair may have worked in your 20s, especially in Texas, but it needs to start inching up bit by bit as the years go by..
The exception is if it is worn up. A lady, shall we say past our prime abit, looks really silly waving a headful of hair around her neck. (although the style of letting one large hank hang over one side of the neck is still eye-catching to me.) :-)
