When I entered my late 20s, I asked a close friend whether or not it was still appropriate for me to wear pigtails. Seriously, I said, when does it become, like, kind of strange, to see a woman out and about with long Pippi Longstock-style braids? The question stumped her, so I took it to a wider sphere, my podcast audience, and a 40-something listener responded on Instagram. “You’re literally never too old,” She wrote. “It never really gets weird.”
