Happy Birthday! And if you want a role model, you couldn't do much better than Ruth Gordon -- she starred in Rosemary's Baby at 72, with long hair, IIRC, and you can just tell from watching her that it just never occurred to her that she was getting "old," no matter how many wrinkles she got.
Cut your hair or not because it's what you WANT to do, not because of outside pressure. If you don't look like yourself, to yourself, when you look in the mirror, it can cause quite the cognitive dissonance. (Conversely, don't leave it long because you think you have to because it's always been that way. You are allowed to reinvent yourself as often -- or as seldom! -- as you like. Look at Madonna!)
A thought experiment: If you were the alternate universe Becky who grew up with the Best Parents Ever, what would you do, how would you think? You could LARP the altBecky!
