Seabird said:One thing that has always perplexed me over the last few years is seeing people say that he should cut his hair so he won't look old. Sorry, I love Bono dearly, and I think he's hot, but have you noticed the way his face has changed and aged? Look at the lines in his face, especially his forehead. Take away the hair, he'd look 20 years older. I mean it, just like an ordinary, boring old fart. The shorter and lighter it is the older he'd appear. I have also been shocked that some want him to let it go gray! Don't even get me started on how old he'd look then! Bono is much too young for the go lighter thing, my aunties did that, when they were about 65 or 70! Bono is not old yet. Maybe it's because I'm his age, and so is my husband, and we have long dark hair and have no desire to give up and be old. Hardly any celebrity does, and most regular people don't either. When are you going to learn 40 something is not old! You'll find out one day.
I am looking forward to a long haired Bono for the upcoming tour I hope he never has his hair any shorter than the Heart of America tour.
Bono has been aging starting from Pop time - more bags under his eyes and more lines in his face.
Long hair with old(er) people - makes them old. To me, Bono was stretching it even with his Elevation hair with the length. (darker hair suits him because his natural color is dark. I'm surprised he doesn't go for the all natural look)
Gray long hair - he'd look like a hippie.
Short hair makes people look younger (that said, the shaved POP cover hair was another extreme that made him look old), and very few guys in their 40s can pull of long hair. I think his long hair days are over, and it's naturaly for men to shorten their haircuts over time (as they obviously have less hair as years go by).
To whoever said Bono's hair didn't grow back after he shaved before POP - not true. The growth of your hair is determined naturally, and has nothing to do with how often you do it. Comparing a 1995 pic to today is somewhat unfair as he obviously doesn't have as much hair follicles as he did back then.
