I don't think anyone's trying to make a sweeping generalisation that women should not wear their hair below their shoulders after they hit 47 or anything.
Some women just look better with a certain length of hair, which is entirely dependent on hair and face type. In contrast to yourself, I'm 30 this year and I will never wear my hair past mid-neck-length again - it makes my face disappear if I have too much hair
In Jayne's case, I don't like the fact that she has nothing to cover up her large (though admittedly relatively smooth and unlined) forehead. A pulled-back style emphasises this and the lines around her eyes, and is just not flattering. At least get her a fringe or something to soften her face!
Nowt wrong with her clothes and make-up though - Jayne regularly looks twice as stylish as the often-mumsy Holly.
