Here's a video where I cut my wife's long hair short... ruclips.net/video/TdfUJQhpzhM/видео.html
Who cares? Did you cut here hair for you or because she wanted to?
@@sarahh1331 you should watch the video and you’ll find out Sarah.
62 here. I started going grey in my 30's now I am white. I bobbed it chin-length a year ago. Hated it. Never looked older. Now it's long and layered and I love it. Don't buy into the crap of women of a certain age need to look a certain way. It's bullshit. Go your own damn way and don't let ageism mess with your head.
Yes! Preach it!!
He didn't say anything like that. He is saying that if the texture of our hair changed or thinned out at the bottom going a little shorter will help it to look better. He didn't say you're too old to have long hair. If you still have full thickness of your hair and the texture hasn't changed then he is not suggesting to cut it off.
Yes. Bob makes you look older. My 9 year old daughter looked like an old lady with that length lol
Agree!! I have very fine hair and needed a bob while I was in my 30s, and 40s. Now, that I’m older, there is nothing that looks more aged then a bob, bangs, and glasses. Now, I’ve grown out my bangs, letting my natural silver highlight come in and aged a bit more length and soft waves. Way better than the bob that was making me look just frumpy. I’ve see some older grey hair women with medium-long hair look amazing. The lady I’m thinking of has thick, healthy hair, and she also has a pretty face. She is rocking that look in her elder years. The silver hair is so healthy and pretty. My Mom also had fine hair and she looks great in the bob in her 70s. The shining grey hair with her blue eyes was lovely in comparison to the brassy hair of her 40s, and 50s.
So, it really is individual!!
Damn right. My hair, my way. Long all the way!😂❤
I'm sick and tired of society telling us how we should look. I will have my hair at whatever length works for me .
Update: to all who got bent over this comment: I did not watch the video, and I've never made a comment before on a video based only on title, but it did "trigger" me (you would have to understand the history behind that) so I made a quick comment on the title alone. My bad, ya'll - to be fair - I should have watched the darn thing first! So ... won't do that again...
I agree
Then don’t click the video, some people like suggestions, that’s all they are
All sound suggestions for healthy lovely hair.
Period!
I'm sick and tired of this man telling us how we should look.
When you are over 50 and still worrying about what people think about your looks, then it's not your hairstyle that's the major problem ;)
Not giving a damn anymore is one of the greatest perks of being mature :)
Amen
❤❤❤❤❤
thank you. no one is looking at women over 50 with any desire. we don't have to care anymore.
Someone should stop so many women out there, tho!
@@margaretjohnson6259 sometimes they don't have desires, sometimes they do, but after 50 you know for whom it's worth to make an effort :)
And usually the list is short and they are impressed rather with who you are, and not what you are wearing anyway ;)
My grandmother is almost 80 and her hair is past her butt. She gets so many compliments. It is unusual to see someone her age with hair as long as hers. She loves it.
Thanks for sharing! I'm about 59 3/4. My hair is right at the bottom of my bottom; and if I live to be 80, it will likely still be about that long. My long hair gets complements every day. It makes people smile; so, maybe, this is just one way that I help to increase the joy on this planet, little by little, one smile at a time.
I'm 52 and have gorgeous, thick, wavy long hair (nearly waist length). It is one of my best features. I will cut it if and when *I* choose, and I suspect that will be never. Screw the Overculture's expectations for what women (and men) are "supposed" to look like.
100% agree with you! Im 52 in one month from now... hair is to my waist... I had it short a few times back in the early 90s after frying it so much in the 80s with perms... I love my hair long...
I am 62 and will keep my hair long until it looks too thin. And at that time I will probably just put in extensions. I cannot see myself without long hair
Well said, I couldn't agree more!
He wasn't telling you to cut it. He was giving tips on when cutting it may work better. No need to go all "I am woman hear me roar" lol
Thank you! I absolutely agree! I am a so called 'older' woman as well, with thick, healthy hair down to my bum. I'm so tired of people generalising what looks good. Let's celebrate our differences instead of trying to convince other people of our own superiour tastes! Why should we all look the same? Why should we follow trends invented by other people? Boring!
I grew my hair out at 60 years of age for the first time ever. I love it!
Two thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
me too.
Amazing
Good for you! 😄 That's cool; and so surprising to see that one would wait that long and finally decide to do it. I love it! This must've been a big change for you; and it's inspiring. It gives me the courage to accept the possibility that I might be able to completely recreate my life at 60. I know that's a much bigger feat than letting your hair grow out; but you have still encouraged me.
LOL! I'm doing that now! 😆
I'm 71 and had kept my hair short for 20+ years. During Covid it grew passed my shoulders and i liked the new look. Have been growing it ever since, only needs a trim. Far more versatile, i can wear it down, curl it, or many up-dos, even hair bands, clips etc, great to accessorise. Will be keeping it long for the foreseeable future, no matter if someone appears to say it should be short. When i look at other ladies of a certain age with short hair I cant help but think their hairstyles all look similar.
Same here😂
It makes them look older.
Exactly. Long hair is more versatile.
Same here! So much cooler in ☀️ summer.
I’m with you! I had VERY short hair and even shaved my head twice since I was 19. I’m 64 and during Covid, I decided I was done cutting and dying my hair. It is now down to my waist and still dishwater blocks with flecks of gray. I love it! My adult daughters said “don’t grow your hair out, it will look bad”. Now that it’s grown out, they say “don’t ever cut your hair short again, it will look bad”. 😂
I'm 79 and wear my waist length hair in an updo. I get compliments on it, even from total strangers, wherever I go.
I am 70 and have had long hair for the past 25 years and have no intention on cutting it to a short style. I love the flexibility of styling long hair allows. My hair has become considerably more thin in very recent years, particularly after having COVID, but I still continue to wear it long, having the ends trimmed regularly. Several of my age related friends have had their hair cut short and I think it ages them a bit. They have been trying to talk me into joining in on the short hair conversion and I continue to stand firmly on keeping my long locks! 😁
Another reason for wearing it long is if you have a long, thick neck, it keeps you looking younger
@@rebeccadewhirstI have a relatively long neck and I only cut my hair short a few times. Because of my neck, the short hair looked great! Not the opposite.
Nothing age more a mature woman then short hair. It's lazy and not attractive. Short hair can be experienced when much younger but as a lady age she should find an elegant long hair style and stick with it, it's timeless! You can take supplements for your hair too, Vit D, Zinc/Cooper 15:1, HA 200mg, ceramide capsules, Tocotrienol...DHT is also a problem pst meno, Saw palmetto can help with that as well. Rebalancing hormones with progesterone cream as well will help. Everyones different but as we age it's best to try suppl and experience what works for yu. Blood tests are good too but won't give you accuracy like saliva test. People can gain back their hair as it was post illness as well as post meno.
@@Vrin137 Thanks for the info…I will look into some of these things a bit. I, however, do not agree that short hair reflects laziness. Quite the contrary. For most of my adult life, I had short hair and it was much more work (and product) than I ever have to deal with having long hair. I have seen many older women who have really awesome short hairstyles. I have even met women who had little to no hair and were absolutely stunning! It’s not all about the bow on the package as it is the presentation and presence of the package it adorns. Many women can pull off the most flattering short or minimal hairstyles.
Yes, but look at your hair- it's marvelous! You have gorgeous hair and it's layered nicely, so it's flattering. At this point, I think your friends are just jealous of your beautiful hair. ;)
I’m 51 years old and have well maintained, healthy, long hair. I love it.
The rule nowadays is to have the hairstyle, length, color that looks good on YOU!
Gone are the days of cutting our hair into little, short do’s just because we’re “ Of a “certain “ age”.
Absolutely!
Thanks for putting it so well! I absolutely agree.
@@justinhickox Good try, but lame, late attempt to try and make up for being so old and outdated yourself that you still think it's even reasonably tolerable intelligent or appropriate to boss women around like we're too damn stupid to know what to do with their own freaking hair in a world where we have so much information and knowledge from growing up with magazines and styling and hair nourishing knowledge that you want to tell us what to do with her hair, what looks appropriate and what doesn't.
You're not a go-to person for this kind of information anymore because you think you have to tell us stupid little women like we're from the 1950s what to do with our hair. It's men and your age that do that sort of asinine nonsense sadly. And you're so intelligent and talented it really is a shame.
Apologies for lack of punctuation etc, I'm busy and this is not worth my time but I definitely wanted to reply nevertheless. Ugh.
And by the way, nobody asked you. You're welcome in my book to offer ways of styling long hair when we're older cuz that might be a bit tricky for us to put our head around as no one gets used to aging it just happens and we have to adjust quickly! Try to do better. Especially with your titles, concept and approach.
This is extremely disrespectful and that woman dramatizing being angry at the beginning just points up with an asinine idiot you are. Your video should never have been done this way that's what I'll tell you, how to do hair videos for women when you're too old as a man to know how to approach it like a human being with respect as we're all in this aging thing together. Again try to do better!
And you're welcome for the free advice.
ya he specifically said not to cut it super short, it's like on one actually watched the video, just got super triggered about ageism and went off.
@@sunsetpainting9163 The title of the video is literally "Long Hair AFTER 50 : WHY you need to CUT IT SHORT?" I watched the whole thing. He sounds like my 80 year old mother who thinks you have to cut your hair short after a certain age. A pixie cut would actually probably look more youthful than that above the shoulder helmet head look. Not feeling his take on this. It's an old outdated view of aging women. Everyone should be cutting their dead ends off to make their hair look healthier. That's already a given.
I'm 63 with long grey, curly hair. Down to my waist. People stop me in the streets ALL THE TIME to tell me how gorgeous it is. I have never had short hair except for a brief time when 17. I love my hair.
I personally don't think hair length is age related. Wear it the way you like it. Why does it matter what others think? Short or long can look beautiful to a person of any age.
Yes. We spend our whole lives being told what's best for us that it's way too easy to lose sight of your own style and self expression which is what shines through any "style rules" that anyone's ever made up 👍
Absolutely True. However it's all about Hair Texture and quality. I've seen awful long Hair because it is in poor condition or needs color. Being 90 with a Braid wouldn't be my thing either except for Humid Summers 😊
Because some older women start looking like witches when their hair is long.
No wonder women hate to age, can’t wear long hair, shouldn’t wear that,don’t wear too much jewelry, too much makeup,blah, blah, blah. How about we do whatever makes us happy.other women telling other women that their long hair makes them look silly is just pathetic jerks. Just stop!
@marchka5930 That's your opinion, but it doesn't mean everyone feels that way. And why do you care?
I'm 53 and my hair is past the middle of my back and I regularly receive compliments from women saying how beautiful my hair is. I think I'll keep it for now.
Yeah I’m 63 and regularly get compliments .. from strangers even .. for my long wavy hair.
Same, Im almost 52, people love my long waist hair. I think its our generation... Gen X!! :)
Same. :)
I have a friend who is 68, blond so her white hair doesn't stand out, her hair is below her middle back, thick and awesome. She keeps it in a bun when working but when we go for walks she has it down and it is so amazing!
@@MydNyteRayne That's what I think too. Nobody is getting Gen X to style themselves like the Silent Generation/boomers, like my 80 year old mom did when she turned 50. And INSISTED that I had to do the same. It drove me crazy that she believed that. lol! Well, I turn 50 in March and my gray hair is almost butt length and parted in the middle. I feel that is a classic style that has been a staple in every decade. The ends do get a little dry, menopause hasn't helped, but just a trim is good enough for me! :D
Hair After 50: The 5 BEST HAIRSTYLES!! ruclips.net/video/nHRC7XXxycQ/видео.html
I'm 67, and I live in HI, Kona side of Hawaii Island. Right before moving from Seattle, I got a pixie, which I have had many times and it seems it's always right at the moment of a great life change. So this was one of those times. I did have an opportunity to see how my hair would respond to the air and water while here on vacation. Let me say it was not good. It was frizzy, limp and hot because of the humidity during our summer months. I thought I could go to a salon and ask for a pixie cut, but the longer I've lived here the more I came to the realization the almost EVERYONE has long hair and it's nearly impossible to find someone who knows how to cut a short style and who's not terrified to do so. I still am challenged in this as I've had two cuts since moving here and the cuts are not the same as on the mainland and they admittedly tell me they can't do it. Almost tempted to grow it out again, just like I did during COVID when everything was shut down, including salons. Not sure what I'm asking for here, but maybe it's nothing but venting a bit. Thanks for listening.
I'll soon be 62 and my hair is layered shoulder length . Everybody compliments me on my beautiful hair. My hair has yet to turn white or gray. I am a natural Strawberry Blonde with Green Eyes.
Dear men on the internet, stop fucking telling women how to wear their hair. Literally no one asked.
I grew out my silver gray hair its below my shoulders and now Im a hair model !!
I'm 64 & have always had long hair & I could care less what others think. Just like the wrinkles on my face, I have deserved everyone of them. And back a few years ago, they stated you should no longer wear hoop earrings and shouldn't wear anything that has the word Pink on it. Why? And, yes, my hair is turning silver, just like my Daddys did. My Daddy always wanted me to keep my hair long. I wash & condition my hair, I let it dry naturally & even my silver hair is kept healthy. I have no problem what others choose do for themselves, but PLEASE, Don't Include Me in the, "Oh, Over 50, Cut Hair, Get Botox, Change Your Makeup, Change the Way You Dress, Rework Your Jewelry, All Because You're Over 50." I'm in no way trying to be disrectful--I am Me & Will Do Me As I Wish/And, Anyone who wants Something Different, I don't condemn them. That's THEIR business, and that has NOTHING to do with me. Actually, I think that it's awesome if they want to try something different.. Thanks for letting me voice my opinion, I truly appreciate it.
Agreed.
Don't wear anything with pink in it? Did he really say that? I love pink and wear it often..
Didn't say don't wear pink.. it was stated don't wear anything with the WORD PINK on it. If you have to question that there in lies the problem
@gracebashaw881 oic..
This post about hair for women of a certain age is pure HOGWASH!!! 🔥
I am 53. Cut my hair in the cutest chin length bob last year. The thing nobody tells you, is that because I live in TX…it was so HOT! It was horrible to sleep with because there was no way to escape it. My neck has never sweated more. I couldn’t put it in a pony tail to sleep with like I used to. I have finally grown in back out and and am back to happily wearing pony tails and messy buns. It’s at length that looks good and not straggly if I curl it and wear it long. I don’t have the patience or time to maintain short hair. I thought it would be easier, but I was wrong.
I agree, I had a cute bob also,but it was a lot of work to keep the style looking good. I now have a past the shoulder layered long cut and it is so much easier. My hair falls into the style much better and I can wear a ponytail or messy bun.
I too agree! I'm 65 and had very long hair for a long time. I finally cut it into a bob and it's a lot more maintenance and I too sweat at night w/o being able to put it up. Now I'm letting grow a little longer so I can put it up when I want.
I agree. I’m also in Texas and wear a pony tail at home from May-October. Wearing one today. It’s in the 80’s.
I always forgot how much work and effort took to keep short hair up. After the last time cutting it short I swore I'd never do it again.
Oh, Ladies! West-central Arkansas here! I’m growing mine out so I can get it off of my neck during our “Hotter-Than-Hell summers. I thought last summer and this summer I would sweat myself to death! Thank the HAIR GODS for the pony and messy bun!!! If you’ve lived it, you KNOW! ♥️
Thank you, you actually explain things well here. People just need to take time to listen that you are not saying cut your hair shorter..... really, just cut to have the look YOU want.
I’m 51, and I refuse to cut my hair; it’s my best feature. Automatically cutting your hair can make you look more matronly. In fact tv moms used to have to cut their hair to look less glamorous.
I'm 48 with long hair. Absolutely NOT cutting it shorter. It is in very good condition due to using professional grade products, leave-in conditioner and oiling the ends. I don't have thin scraggy ends any more
Experience: Born with wonderfully abundant slightly waved hair that curls easily. With no time to mess with hair, I wore a pixie for over 55 years. COVID came along, so no salon visits for over a year. Hair grew at will into a magnificent white mane. After years of chopping it off to 3 to 4 inches, I had no idea what it actually looked like. Even though my hair is gradually thinning and shedding, I’m keeping my ponytail until it’s ridiculously thin. Then I’ll cut it all off again and opt for wigs. I’ll be about 92 by then. Sounds like a plan 🤭
My exact story. I cut it into a long shag…I wanted medium but he was a new stylist to me….tired of 4 bad haircuts so I changed. Next week I have the 2nd appointment with him, going for what I originally wanted, just above the shoulders. The first cut I said leave it long enough to put it in a pony….so not sure if I’ll like this.
The pony is just handy, especially in the summer. My big hobby is gardening, a pony gets my hair out of the way.
I think life is short, be comfortable, who cares really. There are tools to put long hair into a stylish look if needed. In the end do what is comfortable for your daily life.
Carnivore diet or keto grew my thinning hair back in. I have lots of baby hairs.i was losing hair by clumps.
@@dessaarnold7540 that’s very interesting, but not surprising. I don’t eat gluten and make attempts to avoid soy. I had a lump growing on my thumb knuckle…it disappeared! Even my doctor was amazed. The food you’re eating is non-inflammatory…which is a big cause of diseases. Your body is responding positively to your changes, there internal improvements you can’t see. I recently found out with a blood test my thyroid is functioning normal again.
So sad for you!!!
Comment is for Varner7088
I'm in my upper 50s with hair nearly down to my waist. I used to do highlights, but stopped about a year ago. Much to my surprise, the color is light brown with less than 10% grey. It is silky, shiny and healthy looking. I have a special way of washing it (daily) that prevents breakage from damage.
Do you mind sharing how you wash it? Would love to know the special way since I like to wash daily.
Why wash it so often? I have waist/hip length hair and wash it about every 10 days.
I cut my hair into a twenties bob. I love it! Easy to take care of! I think it looks good on me.
It's YOUR hair. It does not belong to anyone else. Keep it however you like it and don't let someone take it from you if that's not what you, yourself want to do. I had short hair for a time as a kid. I got more complements on my short hair than I ever did on my long hair, but I never felt worse about my appearance than when I was receiving all those complements on my short hair. I thought I was ugly no matter what anyone said. I didn't even want to look at myself above the shoulder in the mirror. I am so glad I had the courage to say no more hair cuts and let it grow. I've had long hair ever since.
Agreed. For me it was always the opposite: everyone told me to keep my long hair, but I wanted it gone. A week ago I finally cut it off and now I have the short, kinda purposefully shaggy hair cut that I wanted for a long time. It took off so much weight from my head and neck! (I can't afford a hair dresser so I did it by myself; might be a bit crooked on the back of my head, but who cares)
I think a 50 or older person should wear their hair in a style and length that makes them feel good and is most flattering. 👍🏻
The editing of this video was such fun. Loved it!
I totally agree! I wanted to share these insights too though to help people understand the best way to have long hair as well. Thanks! I tried a different style of editing with this video! I'm really glad you noticed and liked it! Thanks for that feedback!
Loved him in that gray suit! 😊
Agree wholeheartedly, except I’d say Women, at ANY AGE…
Videos like this depress me, but I watched it any way. It's hard to have good self-esteem with all the messages we get in media. I try to keep my feelings out of it, but the older I get, I notice the more negative the comments are for women "of age."
But once you cut your hair the shorter texture will get just as damaged as long hair so now you eat short damaged hair
Everything you said makes sense to me. My goals have lately been to keep some length and make sure to have movement with layers. Exactly what you’re saying and I appreciate your knowledge.
Thank you for that! I truly appreciate the support!
62 here too. Been through hell & back with multiple traumas the past three years. Well, 10 years, really. For the FIRST time in my adult life I’m letting my hair grow long. I lost a lot of it with sickness & emotional traumas, so I’m reminded to relax, to breathe, to take life day by day, to put my mental, spiritual & physical health a TOP priority. It’s getting thicker & healthier. My hair is white, with random brown mixed in which I love. When neglected, it can be chalky in texture, so it needs LOTS of love & care to be soft and shiny. It’s a metaphor - priorities - me first because I’m worthy of love and care. When I’m not loving my hair, that’s when it needs the most attention. When I’m not feeling love, that’s when I need to love myself. My hair has become the canary in the coal mine of my life. I nurture it, and love it. Growing my hair out as long as it will go, and loving the journey. ❤
Nope, over 50 and don't care what people think anymore. Losing my job after the lockdown meant I went a while without having my 6 weekly highlights & my hair's condition improved so much I decided to see how long it would grow. A regular trim of the dry ends and plenty of argan oil & my hair is lovely thanks very much!
I'm 46 and have spent the last few years with my hair about to my bra strap. Recently I grabbed a handheld mirror so I could see it from the back and I was appalled. It looked fine from every angle (I styled it in big waves) except from the full back view where you could see how lank and stringy it was. I texted my hair lady that second and was in the shop the next day. We went with a messy, slightly stacked lob just skimming my shoulders and it is SO flattering. My natural curls came back to life, there's volume and movement and my 21 year old said it took 10 years off.
Everything you said applied to me 100%.
100% - always find your content to be right on par with my needs and concerns. Thanks, Justin!
I am a guy, 70 yo and I look like a Viking. Glorious.
Former aesthetician and hair stylist. I keep my hair and skin healthy . I wear my hair mid length and get it trimmed as needed. Society has been trying to boss woman around for far too long. Long hair can be put up in to great styles or worn long. Once you cut your hair off that’s what you have left. I look many years younger than I am because I wear my hair My Way.
I love my long hair but have worn it short at times throughout my life. But approaching 70 I am growing it as long as it will grow, and I love it. I am tall and broad shouldered and I feel the length balances and flatters me. And its less time at the hair stylist, so I save money. I also stopped coloring it years ago. The grey is actually coming in blonde. Now I have the color I used to pay for! Everyone should do what they feel looks best on them.
Yah when someone said that women must have short hair at a certain age . I reply " I didn't get that memo." And then chuckle.
I know….right???!!!
B.S. I am 72. My greying hair is butt length.I am retired and have all the time in the world to braid it, work it into buns, and invent new hairstyles, and I love it. I can cut the ends myself and have not been to the hairdresser in over ten years.
When I was 15-25, short hair made me feel sophisticated, that is, older. But now, short hair makes me look and feel younger. Different styles of short hair, not the old lady short. I did enjoy layered long hair, but only to the shoulders for some of the time. But that's me. I think we should be allowed to style ourselves in the ways we see and feel best.
I actually did the opposite. I spent my youth with extremely short hair, now in my forties, I’m growing it all the way out and I love it. So I will not be cutting my hair anytime soon because it’s the vibe for me right now until I feel like evolving in a different direction.
Congratulations! It took me ten years to grow my hair out and many struggles against the temptation to simply chop it off due to temporary dissatisfaction. I have what I call "terrorist hair" high porosity, kinky with a random curl pattern so short hair means a random (lack of) hairstyle that varies with humidity. Oil, lots of oil is my friend; my hair sucks it up & behaves for awhile. Long hair can be braided, bunned & twisted. ENJOY!
Your hair looks fabulous in your profile picture, if that's current. But you do have a face that could wear short hair well too.
Thank you! @@jenniferloftus2363 Yes, my profile pic is my current style, with a few more inches today
I did the same & I love it!!
I’m 51. Finally got my hair over half of my back. No layers. Straight thin hair. Love it. Can make braids, ponytails, anything. Because of covid, my husband started to cut my hair, he knows what half an inch is, so finally my hair got longer. Yeah, hairdressers were sabotaging me…
Same.
My hair never grew until I stopped getting it cut altogether and just got it colored.
The old “get it trimmed so it grows out cleaner” doesn’t work for slow growers. It just stays short.
@@banana7570 Yup…I only get a trim 2 times a year. If the ends get a little too ratty looking in between then, I will do a very minimal trim myself.
They make their money selling haircuts, and women who have short hair get more haircuts.
I am in my mid 60’s, my hair is elbow length and I have my husband trim my hair for me, every couple months to keep my ends neat. I wear different braids that he does for me, so I don’t want layers that will leave my ends looking straggly. I have not been to a salon in over 20 years, and I did have a few years where I had my hair cut short, usually by my sister, but looking back at old photos, I can see how I did not look good with short hair, so I’m not going to make that same mistake again.
same with 57 :)
I am 67 years old. I think this is a well needed video. You’re just being honest. Thank you ❤😊
I am 66 and love my long hair after having short hair until my late thirties. As longing as hair is well maintained by the hairdresser there is no need to cut your hair short at all. Everyone has told me I should have grown my hair long decades ago. If you want it short, wear a feminine bun like I do. Delia Morris
I've recently turned 61 and love my long hair. I look at old photos of myself in my 20's and 30's when i had shorter hair and it actually made me look older.
Ageee me too I had shorter hair..I look better know..with my hair longer
I don’t think ANYONE has the right to dictate to anyone else. I have never liked my hair short and I never will. I don’t care what any hair dresser or “expert” thinks! Ladies, do what YOU want! (Sorry, but this stuff really triggers me). I’m over 60, by the way.
I'm almost 45. I used to have short frizzy, dry looking hair. I also used to get eyelash extensions because my lashes were basically non existent. I also work from home so I don't have to style my hair ever. About 2 years ago, I started taking Ionic Zinc in the drops and whole vitamin C, not just ascorbic acid, and my hair took off growing and so did my eye lashes. Now my hair is touching my bum and my lashes are longer than ever! My hair is so long and soft and shiny and healthy! I get so many compliments and love it. I wear it in a bun when I sleep cause it sucks rolling over and pin your head down unintentionally. I wash my hair about 3 times a week and have always only put shampoo on my scalp and conditioner on my ends. I suppose I'll consider cutting my hair if it becomes too heavy and I can't hold my head up any longer. lolol
Absolutely love the comments of women with long hair saying we can do what we want and that their hair is gorgeous! I think your intention was good though !
I am one of the viewers that actually listened for more than 5 seconds and I will definitely say 100% NO. I am 48 right now but that age is approaching and no way will I ever cut my long hair. Have had long hair since I was a little girl and have loved it every step of the way. My personnel insight...if you have long, healthy hair and love it, age is only a number and you should 100% keep it if you love it. I know I will. I do not understand the dogma that the older you get, the shorter your hair should be. I guess they want you to leave this world the way you came into it. Short hair...
I do agree with some of the comments below that cutting off your hair does tend to make you look even older BUT some women look better with short hair than they do with long hair.
You should do what makes you feel best about yourself wether long or short hair..who cares..there are no rules here (except the ones that society tries to put on you.)
I have seen some little old ladies with long hair and they would mostly keep it in a bun..but they were so cute! I loved seeing that youthfulness about them and they embraced it!
So thanks for the video but NO THANK YOU! I will leave this planet with my long, beautiful hair. Thank you.
Yes it totally depends on the person. Some never looked good with long and vice versa. I think the big deal for me is not just keeping it one way because that's how I always wore it. I do see ladies and men running around with hairstyles that they had in high school and now they're in their 50s and it just doesn't look great. Then again, some of the styles probably didn't look good at the time, either, they were just in style. I used to have very very long hair but I also had very short hair at times. I like to change it up. Why not, right? I think keeping a very specific style from one era could age someone quite a bit. That could be long or short. Frankly, I laugh when I hear oh you can't wear this or you're too old for that. You know what that does for someone like me? Makes me run out and buy that mini skirt I'm supposedly too old to wear.
"Dogma" is the word, you nailed it. It's an incredibly personal choice and women are capable of figuring out for themselves how to look and feel their best.
I just think the The hairdressers just want you to cut it shorter so you have to come back often so they earn more money. That is my take on it anyway.
I think he is right. Long hair yes, but well maintained. It make me tired to do all by myself so, I go to the hairdresser. My hair looks great and I am happy with it.😊❤❤
I'll be 68 next month, and I will never have my hair shortened or cut short! My hair is platinum silver, and I've been told my hair (and silvers) are beautiful! My hair is layered, and my volume is nice. I'm happy. I have to say, I don't use hairspray...it feels tacky, and it means over hair washing = dryness. Nope, I won't do it. I only use blow-dry brush, no irons! And a great scalp massage with rosemary oil, etc, is great for growth and prevents damage. Great tips... except the short thing😅. ❤
That is the secret if your hair is beautiful and most importantly, becoming U should keep it!
There's girls from 18yrs and up that are goin' for the grey / platinum silver look 😂
Mine's natural , too !
You do YOU , girl ! ✌️
Yes!👍
Apricot kernel oil on the scalp
I’m going silver, just at the front, and I asked my daughter to colour it to match the rest of my hair, and both of my daughters were horrified and said ‘no way! It looks beautiful’. I don’t think it looks beautiful lol, but I’ve always been naturally dark blonde, and now I have platinum streaks in the front. If my girls like it, then I guess I’ll learn to like it too.
I've never had, nor wanted, a hairstyle that was in style.
I wore long braids as a kid.
OK, as a teen I wanted to look like Cher - with the long straight hair that was so popular in the 1960s!
But I have fluffy, wavy hair, that does not do that naturally, until it is long.
I got over wanting to look like someone else, and loved my long fluffy/wavy hair until I had my daughter at 40, and she liked to hook her hands into my hair (of course!)
I cut it "short" (for me) - just past the shoulders, and layered, and loved the fullness and curls! I just wash and let air dry, no fussing. Now that I am older, I realize I like a layered, sort of shag (but a bit wilder) haircut, that shows off my hair, but I can still clip the back and sides up off my neck to be out of the way. With a little bit of softness around my face, so shorter there - but not like a mullet my goodness no! (The pic here has the back clipped up, it's only this short in the front.)
I will always wear my hair in a way that is comfortable, never needs fussing, just a good cut and naturally dried, and I like.
It is also still thick, never gets split ends, and looks as good naturally platinum as when I used red henna for 12 years, and when I let it have its natural sparkles from 23 to 52! While I was henna'ing, it got much whiter, and lost any drabness I might have had earlier. Natural henna was a good choice for me for that period!
Strangers and friends come up to me all the time and tell me how beautiful my long white hair looks. Surprising me they will often start playing with it. I do trim it once or twice a year. I cut it to me shoulders and let it grow down my back. I never put products on my hair except cocnut shampoo which makes my hair look more blond. I air dry it and the waves or sometimes curls happen. I have been stopped on the street for years.
My tip is to protect hair by braiding them and also sleep in silk turban. My hair are fine, like a child's hair, and soft, the length is to my waist. I also noticed leave in conditioner is doing good to my hair. I am not over 50, just mid 40's and i plan on growing my hair even longer. The thing with hairsressers is they love to cut hair (so i avoid them :D)
Hahaha, so true, so true.
I don’t know what color your hair is but some herbs like cassia obovata in a hair pack ( mixed with water or whatever )will strengthen your hair. It binds to the hair and make it thicker and shinier. It wears off of course. If you’re platinum or gray it can leave it pale yellowish hair if your hair is darker then that then it wouldn’t change it. Just another tip.
Agree with you
My over-60 face has lengthened. Used to wear my ultra curly in a stacked bob for YEARS. But with my longer face, I've grown it past my shoulders (so far)and get so many compliments. Each of us has our special "aging" situations.
I have long grey white hair and get stopped by so many people who love it - never had this much attention with my young short dark hair.
I’m now a photographers muse and the photos are the best I’ve ever had taken.
This guy has his opinion and I agree layering does really help!
I am young, and I admire women over the age of 50 who wear their hair the way they wish to wear it. I admire those that look beautiful because they actually have some wrinkles on their faces and are not afraid of aging, they dress the way they wish to not the way someone has dictated to them.
I’m almost 56, covered in tattoos, long hair, t-shirts jeans and converse. I don’t give a rats ass what anyone thinks about my looks. I get compliments, mostly from young people, on a regular basis. Do what makes you happy!
Im 58 and also covered with tattoos...I love it ...I agree with you
❤
😂😂😂
I had super long hair ever since I was a little kid, it was always past my butt and everywhere I went people complimented on how pretty and healthy it looked. I cut it into a bob my senior year of high school, and shaved the sides in college lol. I spent my 20s experimenting with short styles and colors (mostly bleached blond). In my 30s when Covid hit and we were locked down I decided to grow it out again and be natural. 36 now with waist length pin straight hair my natural dark brown color, and I love it so much. I don’t ever see me cutting it short again. I kind of aspire to be my town’s fun old feral witchy hippie lady with knee length wiry gray hair when I “grow up” 😂. It’s not a look for everybody but I think its rad lol
I am 50 now and I am very actively going for 'the town's fun old feral witchy hippy lady' lol.
I am 65 years old and have hair past my waist and I get complements all the time because I keep it trimmed and it is naturally blonde. I enjoyed your tips at the end on how to keep long hair healthy and they are something I was always done. I also, loosely braid my hair at night to keep it from getting tangled and give it some soft waves.
I'm in my mid thirties and there's great info in here for younger people too. Very helpful and NOT offensive video. Thanks!
So, I'm 62 and - after stopping the damaging color processing - I have thick, wavy, shiny white hair. I keep it silvery with colored conditioner once a month. I find ideal a length with layers between chin and barely touching shoulder. I can put it up, if it's hot (FL) and down, if I want to look fancy. I blow dry it straight, but the bottom layers always curl up a bit, which gives it movement 😊
My hair is down past my shoulderblades and my mother told me I was too old to wear my hair that length when I was 29. Now I’m 46 and I’ve kept the length. So glad I have.
I have 4C hair below the middle of my back when flatironed. When worn completely natural it is right at shoulder. When blow dried just somewhere between the 2 lengths. I love the freedom and versatility of my long hair. I'm keeping it.
I'm 64. My hair is past the middle of my back and I still use ground and sifted henna (100% plant, nothing else) to color it. I've been using henna for 4 decades. I frequently have strangers compliment my hair. One young woman walked up to me recently and said to me "your hair is fire!". To be honest the ends need an inch or so trim and long layers could perhaps offer the illusion of a little more volume, but short? No way, no how.
What works for me is placing my BUDGET first! As a senior on fixed income, groceries come before the high cost of short style maintenance!
Agreed! I save so much money by having long hair.
Yup, it absolutely shocks me how seldom folks mention this as a key decision -making factor!
64. Hair longer than I grew it in high school and it is GLORIOUS in silver. I've had every hair color (naturally and unnaturally) throughout my life, and the worst reactions have always been when I cut it short. I was not blessed to be "pretty" but I've always had thick, lustrous hair - the best condition when I worked in - of all places - a tuna canning factory. The moist air/tuna oil combo se all marinated in during our shift meant I had gorgeous shiny hair at the end of the day when I took off my headscarf (albeit it stunk like tuna). I'm also Native American, and our hair is important to us culturally.
If it looks good, you wear it and rock the hell out of it, aunty v!
64yo here. Not gonna lie, I started watching this with my hackles up, but decided to watch the entire video first. Good advice in here on how to KEEP your long hair and make it look its best, too.
Thank you for being open to watching the video before commenting. I appreciate you.
almost 62 here with longer hair and it looks good. I only wash it once a week and it helps keep it healthy.
I am 70 and wear my hair in a layered bob that comes about an inch above my shoulders. This allows me to have the volume I want and not drag my features down. I have a wonderful stylist who gives my fine hair an absolutely fabulous cut with movement.
I cannot go longer than this because it adds years to my appearance.
I love that you've found a style that you love and a stylist that understands how to achieve it!
Same! I have tried to go longer, but it looks like it’s dragging my face down. My hair is fine as well, so I keep it at my shoulders, but no longer than my collarbone. I’ve been going to my stylist for almost 20 years, so he knows what I like, thank goodness.
I got my hair cut in a pixie. Everyone I know said it took years off my appearance. 💁
I am so grateful to have found my current stylist!
Fingers crossed she stays in this area for awhile. :) @@justinhickox
Isn't it wonderful having a stylist you trust!!!
And, yes, I've tried wearing my hair longer, and it just doesn't work for me.
Some women can pull that off, I'm not one of them, though. @@stephb3321
I'm 76. I love my waist length silver hair which I tie up with ribbons and flowers. Makes me look and feel younger even.
I am 62, White and to my knees............I get a lot of compliments. Every time I am in the stores, I get people stopping and asking me so many questions about how I keep it looking so good.
It is curly, but not as curly as when I was a kid. No heat used on my hair....No shampoo either in over 25 years.......I only use a clear or white conditioner
I think the point here is, as we get older, many of us end up with less luxurious hair, and at that point cutting it to keep it looking luscious and healthy might have to be done. He isn't actually saying to cut it short.
Ive always worn my hair long, admittedly mostly up. Today I had it cut to brush my shoulders. Im 66 and definitely this cut has given my face a bit of a lift...I'm very glad I finally did it. This video was timely, thank you!
Had a friend who’s hair was down to her ANKLES (as in Crystal Gayle) She told me she couldn’t wash her hair by herself! Had to have the help of her husband or daughter. This was mind blowing to me! To be under the control of hair. She constantly had her hands in her hair, moving it out of her face, etc. Sorry, I would be stark raving mad living like this because of hair!!!
To each there own.
That would drive me crazy!!! Plus, like Crystal Gayle's hair, not attractive. Rapunzel is a fairy tale, not meant to be real life. My hair is so thick, it gives me headaches when it gets too long. And geez, the drying time! And the waste of time!
Imagine the shower drain 😅
I have floor length hair and the reality is that it doesn’t handle like hair. It lives in a bun an gets oiled instead of washed, under a satin sleep cap almost always. No real point to having it, but it’s practically zero maintenance once wrapped, and no shampoo bottles go into landfills.
I would love to come to your salon. What state are you in?
Well I have long hair at 64 and love it ! I think that the main thing to do to look young is first the joyful mood, then to take care of the skin because you can have short hair and have too many wrinkles even at 40/45 and then you look old and even older than my age...And you have to please yourself wearing long hair if you like and not to follow fashion or what people tell you to be or do ❤❤❤
Wear your hair whatever way you like best, despite what stylists say. It's NOT their hair! I am 63 and don't give a damn about people thinking that I'm getting old because it's true. I HAVE begun to get old. Embrace aging; the alternative is being dead. Old is not a dirty word.
My mother loved me with short, curly hair. My dad and I liked my hair long. He died when I was 12 and wasn't there to defend me. So, I had short, curly hair through my teens. As soon as I left home I grew my hair out and have had long, straight hair ever since. I'm now 55. Of course, since I have thick hair, I have to have it layered.
I am 70, and my hair is down to my waist. I wear it in braids mostly. Works for me!
I keep my hair long, all one length. I keep the ends cut because of the thinning and split ends. I've had many hairstyles over the years. This is the one that looks best on me with my face shape., my attributes on my face, and my hair. My hair is naturally shiny, straight. The one length gives my hair movement. And substance. It hides the neck, the softening jawline, and other age related.issues. I get complimented on my hair fairly frequently. It's also easy to take care of. I am almost 70. Recently, a man I know told me that I. have the hair that other women want. So I think I'm doing something right. It's all. in what looks good on you.. But a lot of those short styles don't. really make a woman look younger because they expose the double chin, the soft and sagging jawline, wrinkles, and the neck. Some actresses in my age group with long hair include Barbra Streisand, Jane Seymour, Diane Keaton. Layers make my hair look thinner., not fuller.
So true everything you said....I definitely agree I believe it ages women. Just the opposite of what he's trying to explain.
Right? Could you imagine Jane Seymour without her signature long locks?
I looove this post! I cut my hair pretty short after my entire life of a head full of bouncing curls. After my land lady didn't put salt in the water softener unbeknownst to me as a temporary resident of Wisconsin that never needed that as part of my household water. Talk about fried hair! 🔥
But I could also see that my hair was changing and it was time to curate a new curl pattern so that my curls would be big and bouncy instead of tight and bouncy, which showed the thinning ends.
I've had sooo many compliments after taking several inches off my hair. I'm in the process of growing it back in the new pattern to frame my face and pull my check bones up visually like the short hair has done. I just came across your channel and as a Marketer who talks Midlife, I am super grateful to have found you!
Big love! 💙
Oh! And btw, Castor oil is amazing at conditioning the hair. The secret is to only put it in a few times a week all over the head. But I do use it to slick my sides back on my short hair, too. And it is said by many to regrow hair, so bonus!
There's a lot more here than just advising about hair length over age 50. I love the suggestions for shampooing roots & conditioning midshaft & ends as well as how to best use the hair dryer. Thank-you, Justin.
I do not agree! I see even 90 year old woman’s with long hair - down to their waist! They mostly have it put in a braid or make other artistic styles and it’s absolutely beautiful 😍❤️ I am 61 and are growing my hair long again after cutting it up to my shoulders (it was down to my waist before and I also use to put my hair up or braid it!) I will never ever cut it short again…. That’s a promise to myself…. I loved my long hair ❤️
I agree that people should do whatever they want to feel their best. I also think they should understand these little insights about hair length though.
I seriously doubt you watched this video before commenting.
To each their own. If it looks good and you feel good, go for long hair. Not sure I understand why putting it in a braid makes sense. Just looks like short hair in the end.
To each his own, but I can honestly say seeing women with that long hair makes them look dated, just my opinion everybody has to do what makes them happy
Well said! 💯
Wow, you got the heat you anticipated, Justin! So many people are protective of their long hair identity. Relax, everyone. We all have different comfort levels, textures and styling challenges. If you love your long hair that’s great. It’s who you are. But I will say most women with long hair look better with layers and movement. I can’t wear my hair longer than collar bone length. Too long and it just drags my face down. I have a lot of fine hair that is wavy. A good layered or textured cut enhances the volume in a controllable way. Then again, I love change and my hair stylist always says she looks forward to seeing what idea I want to explore next. To me, it’s an artistic expression. Just like fashion. Do what makes you happy.😊
I’m 76 and kept my hair at bob length up until mid 60s. Hair just kept getting thinner (bald spots) and finer (hair diameter). I opted for the pixie cut my mom always insisted on when I was growing up. She was right. It suits my face. Maybe not yours. Keeping my hair short and layered makes it appear to have more volume and no one has thought I was undergoing chemo like they did when I was in my 30s. Truth is I never should’ve worn my hair long. It was too thin. Now my natural waves are curls and it’s perfect for Me.
@@penelope5500As women our identity is strongly tied to our hair. Then there’s society saying bcs you’re a certain age you should wear your hair a particular way, really? Back in the day, as women most allowed society and media to tell us how we should look, what to wear, how to act, etc etc etc. We have evolved past that, but mostly our identity is tied to our hair. Believe it or not, men too, even though they don’t talk about it or disclose it to others. When men start losing their hair, it’s distressing Many will do whatever they can to combat their hair loss.
that was fabulous! Thanks for the information
I am 68. Only twice in my life dud i have short hair both times in my 20s. My hair is at the moment past my shoulders by my shoulder blades. You can do so much with long hair. Reading the comments im so glad there are so many if us who doesnt buy into what we should look like.
When you are older and go to a hairdresser, they always want to give you the old lady bubble do from 1968. I keep my hair a bit past shoulder length because I like to wear it up in like a messy bun and my bangs for height and pushed to the side. I think it looks pretty good. I do all my own hair now including the color which is N7 medium blonde.
I’m almost 75yrs old and for the past three years I’ve been growing my hair and loving it. After having a gastric sleeve resulting in rapid weight loss my hair started falling out so hairdresser suggested I shave it off which I did down to a number 2. I wore this for a few months until people thought I had cancer so started to let it grow just the tiniest bit and wore it spiked. This was not very flattering and I also had to actually wash it every morning to get it wet enough to style again as it was impossible to get it to sit down unless it was saturated, blow dried and styled. Then just before Covid I decided I was going to let it grow to whatever length I wanted regardless of what my other short haired friends said. I now have hair past my shoulders and surprisingly I’ve had many friends say it makes me look younger, softer and really suits me. I love that I only have to wash it once or maybe twice a week, can do it in different styles or if I’m in a hurry to get out the door I can put it up in a loose bun. I’d say to everyone don’t let society dictate what length your hair should be for your age. Do what suits you and wear it with pride and confidence.😊
I started growing my hair out when I was 48 and I'm still growing it at almost 52. It's super easy to style, wash and go. Love it. Husband does, too.
63-year-here. Love my long hair. I have an amazing colorist and I look fantastic. Just never gonna let a man tell me what to do with my hair
I am 65 and had really really long beautiful hair but kept it locked up in a french braid all the time. Several months ago I decided to get it cut to a more manageable length, so I had 8 inches cut and donated it. I didn't like that in between length so a few weeks ago I had it cut again shorter and layered and I HATE it. I have very wavy hair, now it's just wavy and FRIZZY. Despite what you may say, I am going to let it grow back.
Never know, you might change your mind after you get used to it. Maybe you need different styling products now to make it look it's best. But growing it back is fine, I think, at any age. It's always good to try something different. I learned I could go online and try on hairstyles with an uploaded photo. Did the same with my glasses. It kinda gave me an idea of what I would look like with different colors and styles. Could try some hair pieces and wigs and stuff too, which is easier with shorter hair. Not everyone has the time and money to fuss over all that, though. Not to mention, you donated your hair so that's a good deed. Even if you hate it now, it's a little sacrifice for whoever got your beautiful hair and it will grow back.
Good for you. Short hair ages women.
This is the issue I have with having short curly hair, until my late thirties, the six weekly hair appointments. NO thanks. Actually I think God made me to wear my hair long. Delia Morris
I am a former wig shop owner. People think that donating hair is this big thing. I have people bother me ON THE STREET telling me to cut my hair and donate it. It is bizarre. This guilt thing has to stop. People do not want human hair wigs anymore. Sythethic wigs are amazing, they self style, look better than human hair wigs, and are very inexpensive. They come in every color. Human hair wigs have every drawback with no advantage. You can't even get companies to assemble them. Complete foolishness designed to get women to cut their hair and look unattractive.
Hi Justin- I am 51 and I have waist length hair that has natural curl. I color and bleach highlight as well. For me the longer my hair is the easier it is to style. It takes about 10 minutes for me to dry and style. I only blow dry at the nape of my neck and the roots at the sides underneath the canopy. I never dry or curl the canopy of my hair except a few curls around my face...which is layered around my face to give it some flip. I think women over 50 CAN have waist long hair...they just need to work with their texture and find a style that works for them. Great video and your tips are really good too.
Well said. Having hair I can sit on and a pixie? Short hair takes a lot of commitment.
56 waist length shiny thick and voluminous hair just like the video. No way cutting it as I makes me look 40 not 70
Yes, I've had both, and I feel much better long. I'm a hat wearer too, so if it's misbehaving, under it goes... as in my bio shot @@justs4954
I saw your picture in your profile - I love your hair!
Very beautiful hair in your picture.
I have a good friend in her late 50's that has hair to die for -- healthy, thick, lots of it, and falls to her waist. The problem is that it takes the focus away from her other attributes. All you can see is hair and not her pretty eyes, good skin, nice smile. It also boxes her body in. On the few times she's had it cut to her shoulder blades, the transformation is Wow! Her hair moves, her face lifts and lights, you can actually see a body, and I've noticed that attraction to her goes up. She's been mentioning for a while now that she'd like to meet someone, so I do plan to have a chat about the hair. She deserves to be happy and we're at a new year -- new beginnings.
Thankyou man, for telling us again what we should look like 👍🏻
Everybody chill he is a hair stylist just giving you guys tips and no need to take it personal I love watching his videos and learning tips keep up the great work🎉
Sorry but the headline sucks
@pamelaskelly863 everybody is entitled to their opinion I would like to see u do a video
I absolutely love long, gray hair on ladies. They look awesomely hippie and give an artsy vibe.
I’m 41 and my hair changed from thick and straight to thin and curly. I didn’t even know that was possible, but I’m glad you validated that it requires more work to get the same result as we age.
Just cos you have short hair doesn't mean everyone else has to comply.
Freedom of being, freedom of thought, freedom to look however you want.
I like my natural blanket.
I wore my hair long for the longest time because I thought my face would just look fatter with short hair. Now I tell people that I miss my long hair like a bad boyfriend...for what I thought it was, what I wanted it to be! 😂 And I am constantly stopped in public for people to say what great (short) hair I have. No one said a thing with it long. For me, it’s been so worth it!
almost 60 and have gotten more compliments then ever before on my long and grey white hair.. Strangers stop my at the store, on the street, to tell me they love the look, ask if I color it because it looks so good.. 😁😉
You are so funny! I wish you were near by to get my hair done with you. You understand style 110%!
Thank you for these tips
When I was in college in the 80s and lived in west Texas where the wind blew ALL the time, my roommate and I used Aquanet and called it Aquarock! We also used to spray it at the flying roaches in our dorm. It froze their wings and they'd drop to the floor so we could kill them. 😂😂😂.
Aquanet would also freeze spiders so they could be stomped.
😂😂
🤣🤣

Yup…good old west Texas wind. Along with the dirt sand blasting the face. I live in Lubbock and the dry wind does a number on my natural curly hair. 😬
No matter the length, hair requires maintenance and styling. The older I am, the more maintenance my hair needs. Color, condition, cut, but don’t leave it un maintained! A young woman can do that and still look great. At my age, I don’t let up on the maintenance.
For me, he’s definitely right about layers, and dry, thinning hair. When I was younger, I could rock short hair, but now in my mid-50s, I will never go that short again. It makes my face look tired, worn and…grumpy. But because I have curly hair, layers are definitely important, and the length that I keep it, just below my shoulder. The weight is perfect for me. I’m going naturally gray, and I like the way it all fits together. When I feel like it, I let it grow longer, but then, eventually, I cut it back up, just below my shoulders. I’ve always been one to change up the length over the years, whatever fit well at that moment, but layers for my dry and thinner hair are definitely important.
I have always looked younger with long hair and my husband loves it long. A few years ago, I went to have it trimmed.I told the stylist TWICE: "Just half an inch." She was in a bad mood that day and hacked off 6 inches. Thats it...For the last 8 or 9 years, I have cut and colored my own hair with much success. I absolutely hate the vibe of salons; they give me anxiety!
