There's ageism in hair care, in advertising and in much of the media we consume.   So many "shoulds" are piled onto women, especially after 40: We should wear certain hairstyles "appropriate" for middle-aged women, we should cover our grays and we should chop off longer locks—and many of these have permeated the workplace as well.   If there's no one drowning out the judgment, this can feel overwhelmin ..read more
