Pixie!!! Flat straight hair over 65 and a ponytail not being appropriate not much options; neither braids or anything that looks like you stopped mentally at age 21! Lol
Mine is the lob. It's perfect because I have a really thin hair and it lifts them up a little bit. But in winter I still prefer longer option because my neck gets cold quickly😂❤
I am a POC and watch a variety of lifestyle and fashion videos on YT, and Audrey is one of the few content providers that is not black , but always have a variety of models. Thank you Audrey, for always being inclusive of all ethnicities.
Exactly! I follow a myarid of women of different ethnicities and admire their beauty, but can't always pull off some of the styles so I really appreciate Audrey inputting some faces and hair types I can identify with
Thank you for incuding the Pixie in this. While I do love seeing people with longer hair, it is not for me, so I cut my hair shorter and shorter over the years. Now I don't even want long hair on me anymore. Maybe that will change again but not for now.
I cannot wear it that way (& I've really tried, believe me!) but, some girls/ladies, their faces just look amazing, with a pixie (helps if you hv a tiny nose & espc those tiny perfect ears, which I don't have) - some girls have mid length/lob & it does nothing for them, though they hv delicate features - then they go actually short, real pixie length; v short in back, & it suits them so much & their features seem to become v noticeably beautiful. It's not for everybody but if you pin yr hair up & love it (& espc if yr always pinning it up & it suits you that way, I think it's a shame to think "oh you must hv long hair!" Some men are the type who say "oh, I only date women with long hair" (& I think those men are not a good bet anyway & don't worry. My friend has a gorgeous pixie cut, she's v blonde & huge blue eyes & it rlly suits her. (& men just flock around her so I don't think those rules actually apply🙏💜)
I like it, but sometimes I want longer hair again, and then it takes years to properly grow out. That's why I've given up on hair that's shorter than shoulder length. It is pretty though.
I have had a pixie for most of my adult life. It’s light, freeing, and chic. But-reconsider getting one if you are easily bored. Growing out a pixie, depending on your personal situation, can take more than a year. I’ve suffered through many months of helmet hair, page boys cuts, and mullets because I want to change up my hair and you can’t do that quickly when your hair is two inches long. One positive I’ll add is you can color your hair without worrying about damage, because the ends get trimmed off every six to eight weeks. Platinum pixies are fun. So it’s not for everyone, but it is a good time if you’re feeling bold.
Another thing: a pixie cut makes any facial features exaggerated. There’s nothing around your face to take attention from your bone structure. So that’s something else to keep in mind.
I know others have said it before and that you're pretty consistent at this, but I really appreciate the diversity of models you use in this video (as well as your others)! As a white person, I've always been well-represented in the beauty space, but I spent way too long being totally oblivious to what a privilege that was and how infrequently women of other races were getting the level of representation that I did. So it's really heartening and makes me happy when everyone gets to see themselves, especially when diversity and representation are done so intentionally and yet feel so natural, the way you do here. Cheers, Audrey! :)
Great video. Thank you for not making this about age. 😊 I haven’t had long hair since 5th grade and that was the typical stringy flat look. Since then , I wore it short. My wonderful stylist suggested growing my hair a bit longer so I could style it different ways, including pulling it back off my face for work. I am in the awkward stage now, but I trust her judgment and love it so far. A good stylist, someone who really takes the time to know you, your lifestyle and your hair, is fabulous.
I’ve worn my hair short, long, and in between. In my 20s when long hair was the “in” thing I had 2 boyfriends who freely commented that short hair was more attractive on me. Hmmmm. I wore a Chanel bob in my 30s and 40s, but in my 50s my oval started to soften. As my chin line relaxed I realized that the longer length only drew attention to it. It’s been pixie short ever since. A much better look. 😊
I watched Audrey's video on how to have an attractive voice, and I just want to say thank you. I've always hated my voice because it's naturally deep and loud, but when I follow Audrey's tips, my voice DOES sound a lot sweeter(and higher pitched too), and I love the way it sounds. Also, Audrey has this charm about her that most RUclipsrs don't have. She seems like a genuinely sweet human being, and she'll even make an effort to get back to you if she sees your comment. I love that. :)
I’ve had an undercut since I was 23/24 because I wanted to reduce the thickness of my hair. I noticed that hairlengths past the shoulders tend to “weigh me down”. The past 6 years I’ve been experimenting with style & haircut that suit my personality but still are work appropriate (I work in healthcare & academia). During lockdown I finally nailed it: I feel most comfortable in short blunt bob & I have enough patience to take care of a longer bob if it’s above my shoulders. Longer than that, it will take forever for my hair to air-dry. In 2021 I tried bangs but they grew too fast, then my hairstylist suggested having face-framing layers that I can pin down when I work in the lab. So far it works, I think I’ve found my signature hairstyle!
Having your hair flow softly...you are eloquent Audrey. My hair is so difficult that I am contemplating a buzz cut!!!! When it is longer than a pixie it pouffs out, not down and I'm not skilled with equipment - once at the hairdresser's I got a burned scalp with the straighteners - since then - scary!
Embrace the poof and find the best stylist your budget will allow. I have a bit of wave to my hair and for years I went to a stylist that didn’t know how to cut my hair but I didn’t figure it out until I found an awesome stylist! She gave me a chin length bob with layers and it’s still big but in a super flattering way that makes me feel like me. Don’t give up, there is a super flattering cut that fits your features and your hair texture. Good luck!
Thanks so much for this! Also, just tried the video tip you linked about whether shorter or longer hair works for you and it did confirm my suspicion that shorter hair works better on me! (I got less than 2 inches) I love the look of longer flowy hair, but I am happy to admire it on other people and know what works for me :)
Hello..loving listening all issues..as i get older feels right to me to shorten my her style..gives youngish vibe n flattery look..especially on a silver hair.. You r a tallented woman..big success for many years to come❤❤
I tend to keep my haircut pretty simple, which is in a diagonal cut-off style with the front ends of my hair being just a little long. Any time I let my hair get past my shoulders, it just becomes tangled and unmanageable, so having shorter hair with that kind of style works out perfectly for me! 😊
Hi Aurdey, I have long dark blonde hair with a fringe. Blonde hair is soft an fuzzy. I alway braid it, even sleep with braided hair. If I wear cashmere sweaters, I find knots in the evening in my underhair. Dark hair is so much thicker and it looks great on you to wear it open, but it would never work for me! Tschau Petra
As someone who’s experimented with a lot of haircuts (including growing my hair up to my waist), I prefer a bob. My hair is rather thick and straight and I find that longer lengths make my face look heavier, with or without layers. And yes a bob / short hair makes you look young. I’m in my 40s
I've had bangs for almost my entire adult life, and a fair bit of my childhood as well. They're basically a part of me at this point! I've experimented with long hair, medium hair, and bobs, and I've had many different versions of bangs--from sideswept to baby bangs--but the bangs always stay!
My hair is very fine and on the thinner side, so, I wear a bob. Currently trying to let it grow out. I would love to have a curly shag, my current favorite hairstyle. I have always hated my hair and have searched for years for the perfect cut. Still searching! Love your videos❤
It sounds like you have the same hair as me. During the lock downs I found a way to cut my hair myself online. It's called a Wolf Cut and looks like a shag. I still have to curl it or crunch it for some body but it's really easy. Just a suggestion.
I've had a bob/lob for a few years now, but have been growing it out just a tad lately and have been loving it at mid length with layers, I look like a triangle when it's a blunt cut. 😄
I had long hair until I got a choppy bob in my mid 30s. It was fun but I found it difficult to maintain and style. After 10 yrs of that I am back to longer hair. I like it and it is easy to style.
I wish I could do something with my hair but it hasn't grown in years and I'm terrified of cutting it. My doctor can't explain why this has happened and no one really believes it but it doesn't grow at all. I'd love to be able to play with it! You have such lovely hair, Audrey. It's an absolute pleasure to see you enjoying your own hair and having fun with your style. Thank you for these videos.
Have you tried complément like evening primrose oil-borage oil. They are quite good with our hormonal system and help with skin, hair and our cycle. Just an idea. Good luck for your hair.
I had just above the boob length hair during the covid lockdown,l just got so tired of it,so after a glass of wine , a pair of scissors and a picture of Meg Ryan in the '90's , l went for it!!!! I haven't looked back!! My husband,family and friends loved it on me. Once l was able to go to my salon to have my hair cut and styled professionally, l decided to keep it long/ short style. Not as short as a pixie but not passed my chin. I had my hair medium length for years, but once I cut my hair l never had so many comments.Even out walking my pup women would stop me and asked where did l get my hair cut. That never happened with my long hair 😊
I have had a chin-ish length bob for most of adult life. My hair is fine and dyed a light ash blonde. I have heart-shaped face and wear glasses. I usually style my hair off my face because I hate it getting in my face during the day. I cannot really put my hair up, but I have clios and a band for washing off my makeup, for instance. When I have tried to go much longer---like past my shoulders, my hair is limp and hard to style. So shorter is better for me.
I have fine hair that’s on the thin side and I have the face framing cut. It adds some interest around my face, without removing any weight from my hair elsewhere.
If you've got thin hair (scalp showing through) then I find a pixie with no obvious part is the most flattering. For fine hair (individual hairs are thin) a blunt bob looks great - especially tucked behind the ears as it creates a chunky section of hair
I not only have textures--I have a range. The top is 2A getting curly the lower it gets to 3A. From 1st to 8th grade I got a pixie because my hair was so thick and coarse and dry, so it tangled easily, and what I wanted wasn't important. In high school, I tried to grow it out, but once it got to my shoulders it looked like a rat's nest and my parents would whack it off. I can't stand short hair, but with a fair amount of hair glue, I can make it look okay at lob length. So, long and feathered is great. I love the variety of soft layers, but now it's changing again, it's drier than ever & the gray is rebelling, so I'm back to the drawing board & experimenting again.
I wear my hair long, it covers all my back. It does not allow too many hair styles, however. But I guess I can’t function properly without my hair being very long. Just like you said: long loose hair gives me security.
One factor you don’t mention is age. While not universally true, in general, the older you are, the more flattering short hair will be on you. Long hair emphasizes the impact of gravity on your face and the quickly retreating amount of collagen in your skin. In my personal experience, I went from a bob to a pixie and people told me I looked 10 years younger.
@@maryabdel-malik656 agree, it is dependent on how hair texture, colour, how it’s styled and one’s face and complexion. Also one definitely needs a good hairstylist/hairdresser! 🙂
True. It's not always the case if your shoulder length hair is wavy (look at Goldie Hawn). But long flat hair does bring everything down, unless you're Cher.
NOT TRUE...NOT EVEN FOR THE MAJORITY! I am 66...have great hair..and wear it below shoulders... I have many friends my age whonalso have great hair and wear it long... As a matter of fact the women I notice who for sure look post 60...are those with short hair...almost 100 percent of the time. There is so much versatility with styling updos and interesting pony tails with long hair. Love mine...will keep it long as long as possible. My husband loves it. Men compliment me constantly.
I’m a fat woman w/a round face w/a double chin, & unfortunately I want bangs & short hair. I know it’s unflattering but what would be the best cut for my frizzy curly hair & face?
Let me know your favorite haircut ❤️
Medium length with soft long layers ❤
Timeless, classic, feminine… works up + down
Pixie!!! Flat straight hair over 65 and a ponytail not being appropriate not much options; neither braids or anything that looks like you stopped mentally at age 21! Lol

I've been maintaining a something like a short lob/ bob cut for about 4 years now. Can't imagine how I used to have waist length hair at one point.
Thank you for the video! I prefer long bobs, that has never changed and I am 51 years old.

I love the pixie cut, but it is not becoming on me, alas. I like an a-line bob with stacked layers in the back in stead.
Nice!😍
My hair is always pulled up even though I'd like to have it down and think it looks best down but I cannot stand my hair on my neck so mom-do it is.
I often think,that the wrong haircut and of course attitude can make the whole look old-fashioned. It's not always the clothing.
